Best Drummer's Ever?

[Max_Payne]

Well guys and gals.. this one probably has been done before.. but i would love discuss drummers. I myself have been playing for three years now... and have loved every minute of it.

In my mind some of the greatest and most influential drummers are:

John Bonham of Led Zeppelin - Hands dwon probably the greatest to love. Listen to their BBC sessions and tell me other wise. Plus out on the tiles is a freaking awesome song lol.

Neal Peart of RUSH - Beng a canadian i had to ad himt omy list. He has amazing stamina, and soem of the fastest hands i have heard.

Chad Smith of Red hot Chili Peppers - One of the most fun lovin, all out drummers out their. To me he has always made drumming seem really fun.

Travis of Blink 182 - DEAR GOD where the **** does he get his energy from? And cnd can he pound his set! WICKED drummer!

Well thats my list... lemme know who your favs or inspirational ones are....

PEACE :smoking:

Tomas Haake of Meshuggah.. he is insane!

 

[Seppo]

Nicko McBrain and Lars Ulrich. I guess there are better drummers than Ulrich, but I just like the guy.

 

[bryanf445]

[Axyon]

Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel.

 

[Absinthe]

Danny Carey from Tool is pretty damn good.

 

[TIIMMYY]

Dave Grohl of Nrivana/Foo Fighters

 

[knut]

Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel.

''Alright, Pete, let me go ahead and hear you're kick drum, please...''

 

[Axyon]

''Alright, Pete, let me go ahead and hear you're kick drum, please...''

Heh, makes me ears bleed with joy, it does.

 

[mortiz]

erm, where's Keith Moon? He rocks!

 

[CptStern]

Neal Peart: there can be no other




Tony Williams: session drummer ...a drummer's drummer

 

[knut]

Heh, makes me ears bleed with joy, it does.

I think my legs would drop off.

Fave drummer? Apart from Pete Sandoval, Mike Portney from Dream Theater. He is a excellent drummer. EX-CEE-LUNT.

 

[Higginson]

Chad Smith is a great Drummer

Brad Wilk from Audiosalve/RATM is one of the most under-rated drummers IMO, he has a John Bonham style to his playing, but it's still unique. Though his stuff in Audioslave has been somewhat less demanding.

 

[Max_Payne]

mortiz forgive me... i completley forgot keith moon... lol. hes in my top list too. Man can he play the symbol's....

PEACE

Definitely an excellent drummer, but drum solos don't work outside jazz, and Led Zep's drum solos are looong and often rather dull. Technically impressive, nonetheless.

Where's that guy from Def Leppard? Just for sheer triumph over adversity value?

Joe Morello of the Dave Brubeck Quartet? Art Blakey? No-one?

 

[MorneHeru]

drum solos don't work outside jazz

Nope, but the Morbid Angel Drum Check does

 

[knut]

Plenty of drum solos work outside of Jazz. If anyone saw Motorhead last year they would of been treated to a brilliant solo after Killers. Was awesome.

I believe the best drummers at the moment are to be found in extreme metal. Proscriptor of Absu is excellent (does vocals simultaneously too! check out the vid for Manannan). Other favourites of mine are Inferno (Behemoth, bit of a trigger whore, but noone who sees him live will complain)and J. Read of Revenge/Axis of Advance (quite a sloppy drummer, can't doublekick worth a damn, yet somehow razortight and definitely unique, and possibly psychotic).

Obligatory kudos goes to Hellhammer, Derek Roddy, Laureano, blah blah.

 

[KagePrototype]

Brann Dailor from Mastodon is pretty phenomenal.

 

[Max_Payne]

wow lol, cant believe all the replies guys... BOOYAH! keep emm comin.. i lvoe to read about different and cool drummers.

PEACE

Mike :afro:

 

[Darkknighttt]

Buddy Rich!!!!!!!

 

[DreamThrall]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band... I don't really care for DMB, but that guy is freakin amazing.

 

[Max_Payne]

oooo for got about him too. damnit it their is so many to list! lol

PEACE

[Polaris]

Mayby Roger Taylor from Queen. I look foward to concert in Prague (in April)

 

[DarkStar]

The best drummer I've ever seen live is the guy in the American funk group called Galactic. Not sure about his name though.

 

[PermaGrin]

Thomen Stauch - Blind Guardian
Jason Rullo - Symphony X
Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater

No love for Raymond Herrera from Fear Factory? That guy totally kicked some ass on their last record.

John Bohnam

His better drumming was on Concrete and Soul of. The only remotley good drumming parts from Archetype was on the song Drones. I think.
