 Why There Can Never Be A World's Best Drummer
Often times people hail a great drummer as the best in the world. Often times they are correct in their own mind, but their thought often has conflictions with other people's thoughts.
So here's the thread to end all discussion on the topic.
There cannot be a world's greatest drummer, because there is always going to be an idol that your favorite drummer hails as greater than him/herself.
That is why there is no best drummer in the world.

Humans are so subjective. I nominate FeistyRedDrummer as the best drummer in the world.

im the best drummer in the world. i can ALMOST play 8th notes on the hihats are 150bpms. wait, stop yourself, dont even try to comprehend, its impossible. since you're not the best drummer in the world, to fathom that would result in your brain exploding.

Is Billy making moves on Feisty Red? Smooth mover! 
Good comment though, we all have different ideas of what makes a great drummer.

Well, being drummers, we get asked this question a lot. I usually just say there are a shit pile of great drummers out there in a shit pile of genres. There's no such thing as the world's best. It's not a measurable unit. WFD is one thing, but there is no scale for talent.
