The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)

Somehow Bill Ward fused bebop and heavy metal before heavy metal was even invented. Wait… Did I mention that Bill Ward co-founded metal as a genre? With Tony Iommi at his side, and Ozzy standing somewhere within a mile of them, these dudes created an art form that may never die. If you've ever listened to a metal band at any point in your life, the reason the drums sound the way they do is because of Bill Ward.
