46. Bill Stevenson
John William Stevenson was born on September 10, 1963 in Torrance California, and is a famous American musician and record producer. Stevenson found fame as the drummer, lead songwriter and the only regular member of punk rock group, Descendents. The Descendents produced heartbreaking proto-emo anthems — joined with Stevenson’s signature machine-gun snare rolls. This accompanied with the songs written (very often by him) laid the groundwork for the likes of Green Day, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy and Weezer. He also stood in as the drummer for rock band, Black Flag, when their drummer was detained in England. He recorded with the band until 1985 where he refocused his attention on the Descendents.

45. Jon Theodore
American-born drummer, Theodore, is bet known for being the drummer for The Mars Volta, but remains active as the current drummer for Queens of the Stone Age. Additionally, he serves as a member of One Day as a Lion. Theodore is the contemporary rock world’s most visible super-drummer. He has internalized the styles of key Seventies touchstones – the otherworldly facility of Billy Cobham, the elephantine swagger of John Bonham – and altered their approaches to suit the requirements of the modern arena show. When Skrillex, Diplo and Justin Bieber gave “Where Are Ü Now” a live-band makeover at the 2016 Grammys, Jon Theodore was the drummer behind the kit.
