Best Drummer

[lizroswelluk]

Yeah some of his drumming in Slayer was pretty amazing. I don't know about technicality but the speed and balance of it was awesome.

[we found safety]

Nope.


I actualy prefer him to Peart, but im trying not to be biased.

To tell you the truth I havent got into mickelson or heard to much about him. I know one band he was in, Borknager, and wasn't impressed, but then again I really dont like that kind of music. And I defenitly didn't hear any connection talentwise between CAREY and mickelson. Nothing technical at all. If you know another band and album for me to check out that displays him at his best, I'd appreciate it. As a drummer, I am always looking for someone to "worship" (just look up to) and for a good decade CAREY'S been the one. So you really got under my skin when you said CAREYS syle is boring, I had to hit the bag few times, just taking it a little personal. You cant be serious though. But if your listening to the banRAB that Mickelson are in, or Dragonforce and Iron Maden, you might not understand. But it be cool if you can recommend something. Who knows, there might be someone out there, I doubt it.

Neil Peart gets my vote. Not only was he an amazing drummer, but he also wrote many of Rush's songs.

[Emotionally Happy.]

I love Keith Moon, John Bonham, Steve Gadd, Jerry Fehily and Ian Walsh

Check out Gavin Harisson from Porcupine Tree. Unbelievable talent. He'll rock your socks off for sure...promise

Neil. Like Crash said, he's very fluid live and can play amazing stuff.

[Mr Mysterious]

The best drummer in the world is Jon Theodore. :clap: Fact.

Well, I think it's pretty hard to evolve when you start out as good as Peart did - at least not without completely changing your style.

I think Peart is more than technicality - I think he also has a very good talent for composing drum lines and keeping it interesting - have you heard O Baterista?

But I see what you mean - he is very technical, and his style hasn't radically changed.

my point is in the song moby ****, bonham plays the timpanis, so if you dont have timpanis as part of your set, how the hell can you play the song? is this too hard to grasp?
