Mick Avory managed 20 years, not too bad.

Neil Peart joined Rush in 1974.

Ian Paice is the only original member of Deep Purple left and they are still going, so he is up to say 43+ years now.

Frank Beard

Amazingly, Steve Shelley has now been in Sonic Youth for 25 years.

Phil D., Thursday, 24 June 2010 22:37 (fourteen years ago)

I got a feeling that Jerry Allison of The Crickets is probably the answer to this question.

Ed Cassidy of Spirit made it up to almost 40 years

Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 24 June 2010 22:50 (fourteen years ago)

Add Chad Smith (redhotchillipeppers) to the over 20 year list...

For the record, the Wembly whammer joined the Rolling Stones in Jan 1963, putting his streak at 47 year plus and counting.

Nicko McBrain officially joined Iron Maiden in December of 1983.

this thread is under suspicion.

but anyway, Ralph Molina has drummed for Crazy Horse for a long while. Not as long as others.

UK Subs have had 30 drummers.

I'm amazed nobody's mentioned Frank Beard yet. ZZ Top's supposedly the longest running band still going with the original lineup intact, since 1969.

Shakey Mo mentioned him upthread.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 25 June 2010 00:20 (fourteen years ago)

Agreed.

I do believe that Jon Schwartz has been drumming for Weird Al since 1981.

Drummer Daniel Denis formed Univers Zero in 1974.

Nate Carson, Friday, 25 June 2010 03:55 (fourteen years ago)

Cesar Zuiderwijk joined Golden Earring in 1970.

Maltodextrin, Friday, 25 June 2010 04:00 (fourteen years ago)

Pete Thomas has been in Elvis Costello's Attractions since 1977...does it count, given Elvis' various hiati, and now that they're the Impostors (same lineup except for the bassist)?
