10 Criminally UNDERRATED Drummers Who Changed Rock Forever | 70s and 80s

You know the legends—Bonham, Peart, Moon—but what about the drummers who quietly defined the groove of rock’s golden era? In “10 Underrated Drummers Who You Should Know,” we dive deep into the world of classic rock to uncover the drummers who never got the spotlight—but absolutely should have. Meet Jon Farriss of INXS, the groove master behind “Need You Tonight” and “Original Sin,” whose fusion of live drumming and electronic pads gave ‘80s rock its slick, danceable edge. Then there’s Simon Kirke, whose soulful, earthy playing with Free and Bad Company gave songs like “All Right Now” a timeless pulse. And don’t miss Mark Brzezicki of Big Country—his military precision, ghost notes, and prog-rock flair made every fill feel like a drumline with heart. These aren’t just forgotten names—they’re the heartbeat of the bands you grew up on. And we’ve got seven more you need to hear. If you're a fan of 70s and 80s rock, classic bands, and drummer deep dives, this one’s for you. 🎧 Watch now, and tell us who you think deserves more credit.
