Favorite Drummer

Drakon · Feb 12, 2005, 07:33 AM

Lately since i've been listening to a lot of rock, i seem to be really interested in the drums. usually the drummer is the first person i focus on in a band, then the other members. So what r ur favorite drummer?

Joey Jordison - Slipknot (f*cking great drummer especially in EyeLess, Surfacing, Spit It Out, and some other songs)

David Silveria - Korn (Loved the drum set he used in KoRn (1st album) )

Lars Ulrich - Old Metallica

Chüd (C. Grey) - Mudvayne

Dave Grohl - Nirvana, QOTSA - Song For The Deaf (Even though you hardly heard him)

John Dolmayan - System Of A Down (The drumming in "X" was f*cking great, i think)

Meg White - The White Stripes (Not the greatest drummer, but i still like her)

LOL, i don't know most of their names either. I just searched for them. I also forgot Tommy Stewart - Godsmack (Self-Titled & Awake) & Ken Jay - Static-X

fireball · Feb 12, 2005, 08:02 PM

Tiger M · Feb 12, 2005, 09:29 PM

Very few of those you people mention play real rock, Lars Ulrich is generally considered one of the worst drummers in heavy metal btw (I'm not making this up)

For me the most innovative drummers that have greatly influenced music as an art are John Bonham and Nick Mason.

riles9262 · Feb 12, 2005, 10:12 PM

Damn I forgot about john bonham

he's definitely one of the best, and was part of the best band ever.

Uhmmm, thanks for the info. Wasn't asking for the drummers that influenced rock the most, was just asking for people's favs...

Travis is cool.

A few other bands i forgot about, Can't remember their names so i'll just list them:

Machine Head
Fear Factory
System Of A Down

Zardon · Feb 12, 2005, 10:48 PM

bonham/peart/taylor.

Tiger M · Feb 12, 2005, 11:14 PM

Speaking of drummers, I have to mention Phill Colins. Yes I know, not a lot of people are aware that he is one of the best jazz drummers of the 70's. Just listen to the band called Brand X, album 'Unorthodox Behaviour', song 'Nuclear Burn' to get the idea.

Shouldn't miss Scott Travis, I'll never forget the first time I heard 'Painkiller', blew me away...

EDIT: Completely screwed up his name - Phil Collins

Razgriz · Feb 12, 2005, 11:21 PM

Peter Charles - Ram Jam

BONEHEAD · Feb 12, 2005, 11:32 PM

Niel Pert-Rush
Lars Ulrich-Metallica
Names I cannot remember
The Police (Now a studio drummer)
Dave Matthews band
Just a few.

blackdog · Feb 12, 2005, 11:38 PM

Bill Ward
Tommy Alderidge
Neil Peart
John Bohnam (R.I.P)

I will second that !!!!!!!!

A few others I like also are Tommy Stewart of Godsmack

and for old times sake Alex Van Halen. He really puts on a show in concert.

Drakon · Feb 14, 2005, 05:19 PM

Check this kid out: Tony Royster Jr. (got it from another forum)

pretty good, i think

Callandor · Feb 14, 2005, 05:26 PM

*sigh*

Sadly I do not have a fav. drummer. But I do enjoy playing the drums at church when I get a chance lol.

Senor_Mota · Feb 14, 2005, 08:49 PM

1. Danny Carey from TOOL(the most Ubiquitous Studio, Live, and Session drummer in the WORLD)
2. Tim "Herb" Alexander from Primus
3. Josh Freese from The Vandals and aperfectcircle
4. Daniel Glass from The Royal Crown Revue
5. Terry Bozio from Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention
6. Eric Kretz from Stone Temple Pilots
7. Chad Sexton from Three Eleven

Vikingod · Feb 14, 2005, 09:07 PM

Good picks Moto, especially Tim Alexander. I would have to add
1) Jimmy Chamberlain of the Smashing Pumpkins. He is top Five best rock drummer ever.
2) Another would be Mitch Mitchell of the Jimi Hendrix experience and
3) Topper Headon of the Clash.
4) Bryon St. Pere or Hum.

Senor_Mota · Feb 14, 2005, 09:35 PM

Definately Jimmy Chamberlain, forgot about him. He carried the Pumpkins for a while towards the end. Bryon from Hum - solid drummer, but not that good, IMO.
