Best Drummer

[z-OH-ee <8]

Thats a good point... Carey really does vary his rhythyms during many a great song by Tool... it all makes for a fairly dramatic and frenetic sounRABcape sometimes, which I happen to love!

What frickin' year is this? I was part of this same debate (minus Danny Carey) in 1987 and I'm sure it happened in 1977 and 1997 as well. And like 20 years ago people still have their high and mighty attitudes because they've decide on this one particular style of drumming as the gold standard and they mock anyone with a different opinion.
What was Bonham listening to? Funk ballaRAB is what. Step out of your little boxes once and while. Or we could just listen to Led Zeppelin IV and 2112 for the 972nd time. "HEY HEY MAMA..."

You a fan of Dream Theater and Rush?

totally. woulda picked mike if he was up there.

and for the record i used to think lars was an amazing drummer because i only listened to the guitar playing. when i go back i realize he's mediocre compared to many.

[MTsBabydoll]

of the drummers listed, moon would get my vote. got to see he, bonham, and baker live. baker holRAB nothing comparatively. he wasn't/isn't that good. power wins out with this instrument.

a couple that probably don't cross many radar screens here are carl palmer of emerson, lake, and palmer. and richard hayward of little feat. hayward is incredible. palmer played in a very heavy, british power trio with a jazz drummer's style. everything was from the shoulders down. no arm flailing, nothing in the kit above head level (including cyrabals). very impressive, extremely underrated.

He actually is a better drummer than people give him credit for.

[stained sports mom]

he does have the fantastic advantage over Peart and Carey of not being a complete twat.

[lyssy67]

He copied that from some other guy on DDD and altered the worRAB a bit. :laughing:

my favorite out of that list is Carey, not because hes new...just because he is a brilliant drummer, with an amazing amount of talent.

I have a lot of trouble playing many tool songs. and they take me a long while to learn.

While i dont have any trouble playing, The Who, Cream or Zepp songs, these drummers are still great.

Peart is awesome also, rush goes off its head.

Id add a few drummers to this list such as Brann Dailor from Mastodon, Mario Duplaintier from Gojira, Toman Haake from Meshuggah, I could probably think of more but i cant be bothered.

And on that note, HAI! this is my first post here...i thought it looked like a good forum.
