Who is the best drummer?

I was going to post 'I can't wait for someone without a clue to come in here and say Joey Jordison, Travis Barker or Lars Ulrich', but I was beaten to it. Now you just get these equally bad post instead.

 

 

 

Man, you're too much of an elitest. I definetly don't listen to slipknot, or blink 182, but to assume a band's talent is immedietly cut off the moment they become to popular for one's taste is just flat out not fair. :o

 

 

 

Haha. The fact is, Joey Jordison, Travis Barker, and Lars Ulrich are three of the most over-rated drummers in the world. It's nothing to do with them being popular. If you can't see this, I have no interest in discussing it further.

Well it depends on what type of drumming you're looking for. Travis Barker is awesome at Snare drum, but I'm sure there are people that haven't been discovered that are equally as good as him at it.

Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so.

First of all: I hate idiots who think they're good drummers because they can do a solo. It's just not right. A drum is in the first place always an instrument to indicate the beat and rhytm of the song, not an instrument to be played on solo. A band needs a drum, just as much as a drum needs a band.

 

Also, aside from being able to lead the band, I think a drummer needs to be the more or less silent, intelligent type of the band. The mysterious person hidden behind his machine.

 

That's why my favourite drummer is Dave Grohl in his Nirvana period. Not only was he a perfect example of how you have to lead the rhytm, he also used to be the prototype of the mysterious talented kid, exactely what appeals to me.

I'm really suprised no one has said Phil Collins. He may have been not the best drummer in terms of skills, but his ability to create rhythm and music is unquestionable.

 

 

 

This considering he's deaf in one ear and reportedly going deaf in the other.

Back by popular demand!

And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.

Overrated because their bands are extremely popular, it goes hand in hand.

Metal fans, check out my band!

There are plenty of over-rated bands who aren't mainstream

I suppose, but the ones we are talking about are extremely mainstream, and are supposedly "overrated" strictly because of it. I don't want to go in circles, because I know thats whats going to happen, I've made my point, enjoy. \'

Still the King....

Max Roach, Art Blakey. Some jazz drummers. ;P

 

 

 

Ian Paice (Deep Purple) is really good. Neil Peart is pretty "dope" as well.

 

 

 

Cozy Powell

 

Nicko McBrain

 

Vinnie Appice

 

 

 

And a bunch of others. Phil Taylor on Ace Of Spades (Motorhead) is pretty awesome as well, as a last thought.

you could say that but the ultimate irony is that Joey Jordison, Travis Barker and Lars Ulrich all fail at life

Travis Barker fail at life

 

 

 

So... When you manage to play in five bands, have a lot of money, have a pretty wife, and have a family, you still fail at life? :-k

i'd say so yes

Well, his wife was a playmate, right. :P And they took a divorce if I'm correct.

Um, not sure. I just saw that reality show on Mtv about their family.

Looked it up on Wiki now.

 

 

 

"On August 8, 2006, Barker filed for divorce from Moakler after nearly 2 years of marriage,"

 

 

 

Knew I heard or read it somewhere. Oh, and she was a "Playmate", but I think that's about the same as a playboy bunny, right? I edited in my old post anyway.

he is by far the god of all drums! dont knod him, listen to him and ull agree with me. listen to "Spirit Of Radio" he freaking crucified those drums!!! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Dave Lombardo is an awesome drummer. I can't believe no-one has mentioned him. I liked his work on testament in 'the gathering' record. Also I'm quite fond of the style that Tomas Haake plays the drums. They share the title of the best drummer imo.
