Your favourite drummers?
« on: December 09, 2010, 09:45:22 AM »
I am interested in hearing some of your favourite drummers.
Mine are:
Pierre Moerlen (Gong) (if you wanna know why he's great, look up Master Builder by Gong on youtube and listen to the full song. I would link it, but I'm at school and Youtube is blocked.  :()
Jaki Liebezeit (Can)
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree)
Bill Bruford (King Crimson, Yes)
Billy Cobham (Mahavishnu Orchestra)

Gavin Harrison, Bill Bruford, and Zach Hill are the big names that come to mind.

While I can name tons of drummers that are far more talented, none of them have the sense of style and artistry, tastefulness if you will, as the professor.  Listening to (or watching) him do his thing always makes me immensely happy.

I can get behind this.  Otherwise:

NP
MP
Ted Kirkpatrick (Tourniquet)
Dave Lombardo (but more for his work outside of Slayer, i.e. Testament, Grip Inc.)
Matt Cameron (for Soundgarden and Geddy's solo album, not so much Pearl Jam)

Also, I'm only just beginning to listen to PT, but Gavin Harrison is already very impressive.

He also did First Strike Still Deadly with Testament (and some of their Live London DVD), 2 Exodus records, plus he's currently in The Cult. He's done a whole slew of stuff. Amazing, versatile guy. One of the few guys I actually got starstruck in front of and couldn't talk to, despite being a foot from him while he casually smoked a cigarette :lol

Hard choice, even though i appreciate good drumming, it's probably the instrument (apart from bass-guitar) that i focus on the least in the music, and it has to be really unique and cool-parts in order to make me go "WOW".
Mark Heron (Oceansize) is one of my personal favorites, i especially love the special vibe he gives to certain songs, songs like "An Old Friend of the Christie's", "Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt" and "Massive Bereavement" where the drumming adds loads of atmosphere to the song.
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) is another example of a drummer i like, though when it comes to PT, the drums aren't the thing i focus on the most.
It's kinda hard to explain, but i feel that... SW's songwriting-skills (aka. making catchy and great songs) kinda stands in the way a bit, with a lot of other bands i love i can appreciate all the aspects, but when it comes to PT i rarely see it like that.
Obviously being a DT-forum i should mention Mike Pornoy, but he has never really been a personal-favorite.
He's good though.

Portnoy to me is like Chevy Chase is to me as far as actors go.  Portnoy is in a handful of bands/side projects I love, but I wouldn't call him an absolute favorite on the drums, just like Chase is in quite a few of my favorite comedies of all-time, but I wouldn't call him one of my favorite actors.  Make sense?

Love the bass player/drummer groove Opeth and Riverside have. Don't remember their names though (Opeth has had two or more drummers I guess)

These are the drummers that stood out for me. Maybe not the best drummers in the world but the ones that made me take notice when all I usually noticed were the guitars. I would have put peter Criss but I would have had to duck!!!
