I'm a drummer, but I can tell you this: almost ANY rock drummer will say that Ringo Starr was one of the best drummers ever---for a lot of reasons. Any non-drummer will scoff. So when another guitarist tells me Hendrix is the best, I'd tend to believe him. I didn't meet Duane, but I met Greg a couple of times.

BTW, Clapton said of Beck, Hendrix, and himself that Jeff Beck was the best.

You should check out what Beck said about meeting Hendrix. It’s on YouTube.

Jeff Beck gets my vote.

And for drums (may take heat on this one): Buddy Rich.
