The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Carter Beauford (the Dave Matthews Band)

DMB should be called the Carter Beauford Band because he completely owns pretty much all of their songs. DMB would be nothing without Beauford, no offense to Dave Matthews, he’s a great songwriter, but DMB without Beauford would have never left the ground. Also, Buford set a Guinness World Record for having the largest touring drum set in music history in the early '90s.
