I'll be posting polls for the best members of Oasis and then post the results at the end. Happy voting!

ALAN WHITE IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANSWER. NOT UP FOR DEBATE OR DISCUSSION. FACT.

Alan White. It's not like he's the best drummer, but he was perfect for Oasis

Chris Sharrock is the best drummer to drum for Oasis in my opinion, by quite a long way as well.

Liam / Noel / Bonehead / Whitey / Guigsy. Done? Done. Yeah as much as i like Andy's and Gem's technical style, this was the best line up, especially live.

Whitey's just too middle of the road for me. In the studio apart from a few early examples I can't say anything he's ever done has been much more than competent. Tony's limited playing gave at least gave him some style. He couldn't have gone beyond Definitely Maybe but his work was missed in my opinion. Studio-wise I actually rate Starkey quite highly as he did some solid work on Dig Out Your Soul. If he got his act together live it'd be him I'd choose.

Really fucks me off that they got rid of Alan because of his "Personal Life"
After Liam left a tour to get fucking Married or whatever.
Whitey was by far the best musician in Oasis Period.

Studio-wise I actually rate Starkey quite highly as he did some solid work on Dig Out Your Soul. If he got his act together live it'd be him I'd choose. Agreed. Alan had the best snare sound of all Oasis drummers but it feels like he reached his peak in studio performances on Morning Glory. After that he just kept repeating the same old same old and by HC the drumming doesn't impress in the same way at all as it did back in 1995. He sure had ear for detail and skill for all those little fiddlings but something went missing down the road. It's amazing to hear the difference in 2001 performances when Steve takes over the stool and suddenly there's much more punch and energy to the songs. I, too, was impressed by Zak's work on DOYS. I wasn't expecting much by his live drumming but damn did he deliver on the record. I think it's not only down to production but to the sogs themselves. They have different grooves compared to each other and IMHO they step up from plod of DBTT. In other Oasis records and the first NGHFB there's certain limits to the drumming rhythm-wise and I think that played a part to Alan's and Jeremy Stacey's playing style both live and studio.

I totally agree with that part about Steve White. His drumming was so refreshing. I would have loved to hear him with the band a little more.

The song with the best drums is Bring It on Down. Alan, Zak and Chris were all better drummers, but I prefer Tony. I never like it when bandmembers get replaced. And no, Noel didn't replace anyone in Oasis.

I think Sharrock is a great drummer too, but he's hampered by the fact he sadly never got to play on an Oasis album. I have to go for Whitey - I love his nimble style, and listening to his dexterious playing on songs like Wonderwall and Cast No Shadow is a joy to listen to.

Yes he did complain about being buried in the mix in favour of drum loops and the amount of loops used. It's easy to see where he's coming from. The band used loops both in studio and live - Fucking in the Bushes, Go Let It Out, Gas Panic!, Hindu Times, Force of Nature, Better Man. It must have been frustrating to have been replaced by loops. And the funny thing is that after Alan left they never played those songs live again nor did they use loops in studio.

I agree it must've been frustrating because some of those songs didn't even need drum loops and might've even benefited from a proper drummer playing on them, specifically the Hindu Times and Better Man.
