| Post subject: | The 30 Richest Drummers in the World |
http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=754433 Q: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A: A drummer! If you've spent enough time hanging out with people in bands, you've heard a million jokes like this. But as it turns out, banging on things is potentially way more lucrative than anyone could've realized. Celebrity Net Worth recently published a list of the 30 richest drummers in the world. And maybe it's not surprising that Ringo Starr could buy and sell all of us several times over, or that many of the richest drummers are people who figured out ways to stop being drummers (Dave Grohl, Phil Collins). But how in the hell is Aerosmith's Joey Kramer worth $100 million? Check out the full head-spinning list below. 1. Ringo Starr (The Beatles, $300 million) 2. Phil Collins (Solo/Genesis, $250 million) 3. Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters, $225 million) 4. Don Henley (The Eagles, $200 million) 5. Lars Ulrich (Metallica, $175 million) 6. Charlie Watts (The Rolling Stones, $160 million) 7. Larry Mullen Jr. (U2, $150 million) 8. Roger Taylor (Queen, $105 million) 9. Joey Kramer (Aerosmith, $100 million) 10. Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers, $90 million) 11. Travis Barker (blink-182, $85 million) 12. Stewart Copeland (The Police, $80 million) 13. Alex Van Halen (Van Halen, $75 million) 14. Nick Mason (Pink Floyd, $75 million) 15. Tommy Lee (Motley Crue, $70 million) 16. Bill Ward (Black Sabbath, $65 million) 17. Jon Fishman (Phish, $60 million) 18. Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band, $55 million) 19. Rick Allen (Def Leppard, $50 million) 20. Tre Cool (Green Day, $45 million) 21. Danny Carey (Tool, $40 million) 22. Tico Torres (Bon Jovi, $40 million) 23. Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band/"Conan O'Brien," $35 million) 24. Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead, $30 million) 25. Bill Kreutzmann (The Grateful Dead, $25 million) 26. Neil Peart (Rush, $22 million) 27. Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters, $20 million) 28. ?uestlove (The Roots, $16 million) 29. Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses, $15 million) 30. Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac, $8.5 milliion. Let's just take a minute for the fact that Steven Adler played on one and a half Guns N' Roses albums, that he's been generally unfamous and making the "Celebrity Rehab" rounds for the past two decades, and that he's still worth $15 million. *********** Drums: Pearl SMX & Dream Bliss | Ludwig/Canwood & Sa |

Chad Smith also makes ~$100,000 a year because people keep thinking he's Will Ferrell. |

Lars Ulrich would be worth $178 mil if people would stop illegally downloading his music. |

It's pretty impressive that Travis Barker has made so much money drumming for a subpar punk band. |

Barker, Fishman and Carey were the only real surprises for me. Is Fishguy there due to touring/merchandise? Does he get songwriting credits? |

NET WORTH!!!! If you tour constantly or make one album every 5 years and then tour for a year, you'll make money...that you can then save....as part of your NET WORTH. Write one dumb song that all the girls like (All The Small Things) and you're a millionaire for life. |

Yeah, drummers don't usually make money off the songs unless they have a deal cut with the other band members. I think Travis Barker has some kind of clothing line or something like that because I don't think Blink is touring regularly. Besides looking like somewhat of a freak he plays drums a lot better than most punk drummers. |
