The WORLDS most recognizable Drummer

[Squirrel Man]

I'm guessing some majority of the membership here is from the US but I know not all by a longshot so if you're from the US you have to take out any inherent bias.

Hypothetically (of course), if you took a proportionately sized sample of random people in every nation and asked them who is the most popular drummer ever, who might that person be?

Not the most talented or successful but the most popular.

You mean second to Animal right?
Max Roach or Olatunji.
60s Ginger Baker; It was whomever was photographed most.
oh Dingo forgot about Ringo 60s pic.

If you're talking name or image recognition across a random sample of the population, I think it would have to be Ringo.

 

[Tornado]

Worldwide? It's going to be Ringo, not even close.

I'm a little surprised at the almost consensus with Ringo, but not surprised if that makes sense.

That's what I was kind of wondering. For fun we ask a Gen-Z'r that works in our finance shop random stuff and bet on if she knows what we're talking about.

Like Lynyrd Skynrd - she had no idea who they are.

I'm pretty sure she knows Ringo but like you said I wonder how many really do.

 

[DanRH]

that sounds like person abuse..

 

[JDA]

I think we as drummers need a new format. Anyone tried the meta verse yet?

 

[Tommy D]

You mean second to Animal right?

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

So y'all think Ringo would get recognized more than Buddy?
