Most famous drumstick belonged, naturally, to famous drummers.

Englishman John Bonham, from the legendary Led Zeppelin group, which dissolved after his disappearance in 1980, is one example. He is considered the musician who has decisively changed the way to play drums in the rock music.

Keith Moon from The Who is another Englishman, who remained in the memory of the fans as the fiercest drummer of all time.

Also, let's not overlook Ginger Baker's super-talent, who was a part of the first and best power trio in history – Cream - together with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce.

When he came to Rush in 1974, Canadian Neil Pearl used to smash the drums in the manner of Keith Moon, but over the years, he became the most accurate and meticulous drummer in the world.

Last but not least, we mention the American Hal Blaine, the most titled drummer of all time, present in 150 songs in the Top 10 as well as in 40 tracks that reached the 1 st place. Famous studio musician in the 60s and 70s, Blaine played with a lot musicians and groups, from Frank Sinatra or Ronnets to the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley or Simon & Garfunkel.
