Denny Carmassi
Check out Rock Candy on the first Montrose album.
Dennis Chambers makes me go WTF?

As for Peter Criss,he is a so so drummer from what I've seen.
Lot's of flanger ,not much chops.
Rick Allen?
Not in the same class, as the drummer for Def Leopard was pretty much Mutt Lang and a drum machine.

Vinnie Parello - Spiral Starecase

I love you more today than yesterday. Which when first heard a lot of drummers took notice of Parello's foot work.

check the left hand (Joe M) at about 3;35 -3:45. Wish I could move my hand anything close to that.

Ian Paice, listen to start of Fireball single kick, compare with Judas Priest Painkiller double kick.

Not quite mate.

As outlined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_4kSawqipo

And as played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVAfLq6T8H0


Of course, none of this is intended to discredit what you say......or dinimish what Crabtree (who incidentally, I think is one of the most enjoyable educators on the tube) can play. It is merely presented to provide accuracy and correct context on a single pedal inspired thread.

 

[Kiddi]

gotta mention Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden. Super fast single bass drum chops.
I believe he has only once used a double pedal on a song and hated it.

Yeah, on "Face in the Sand"

Nightwish's ailing drummer Jukka Nevalainen has pulled out some great fast single bass like this track, during the verses.

I say "ailing" because for you non-fans, he's dealing with severe insomnia, which is no joke. That can kill you. He's been replaced with a temp while he tries to recover.

you just quoted the person that got me into drumming I even met him and the manager once haha. Lovely blokes, and very talented player through all the spectrums and styles. Whilst i grew up listening to jazz and chose jazz drummers as my tutors, i still absolutely love him.

I will take Mike Derosier any day. It is one thing to play fast single bass pedal it is another to make it musical.
