    I’ve just been watching this and thinking “jeez, there’s some good drummers around these days”:

    Is that Lang in the middle? He’s mentally good. Didn’t he play with sugarbabes or someone equally terrible for a bit.

    like “good” guitarists, they always seems to make naff music.

    I’m with bob. I’d listen to Meg White over that lot any day.

    I beg to differ.

    Well it wouldn’t be music if we didn’t, but I’m as likely to listen to any of that as I am to Yngwie Malmsteen.

    Likewise I wouldn’t expect you to enjoy Chuck Biscuits, DH Peligro or Mario Rubalcaba.

    I love punk/hardcore music, as well as blues, rock etc.

    Oh, and the reason why I came across the drummers above is not because of their drumming it was because of the music.

    Another favourite: Jean-Paul Gaster:

    I’m not a fan of drum solos. I’d rather see someone just driving the band well from the back on a basic 4-piece kit than a fancy pants loon on Terry Bozzio’s kit doing their own thing while the band waits to catch up

    Not saying Moe Tucker was a good drummer but she was a great drummer who changed musical history…

    Just had a listen to that lot up top, and reminds me of the Drummers that were around when I first started playing drums, the Dave Weckl’s, Neil Pearts, and the Gary husbands.

    They are technically very very good, but it ain’t what music is.

    Coincidentally I was reading a joke thread on another cycling forum (a bit less PC than STW) whilst at the barbers today and there were a load of drummer jokes. One that made me chuckle was:

    What’s got three legs and a c@nt?

    A drum stool.

    Really??? I mean, he’s a decent drummer for sure, but the clips you’ve posted aren’t all that. Fairly basic beats that he’s laying down, a few nice fills and frills. But compared to that Buddy Rich clip, he doesn’t even deserve to be in the same room.

    For consideration Stewart Copeland – [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUpeY0Bhl4Y[/video]

    Also John Bonham (obvs) and Ainsley Dunbar who turned down Led Zep and missed out on being Jimi Hendrix’s drummer on the toss of a coin (allegedly). Not to forget the late, great Mitch Mitchell. And Art Blakey. Buddy Rich is still the greatest though. Some of that drumming on the video above is mind boggling..

    So many! I grew up listening to (worshipping) Peart and Bonham and Collins (early Genesis V 0.1). Then I heard Michael Shrieve (Santana) and started falling in love with music and rhythm beyond the 4/4 + run up and down 6 toms winkery. Although do like motorik stuff, hence:

    Jaki Liebezeit (Can) – the TITTZ!

    [video]http://youtu.be/5a_XVM7LGnk[/video]

    Christian Vander (Magma, Offering) Not so much ‘good’, more ‘barely believable’ – his work is outstanding for 40 yrs now. Mad chops, but still no dry perfectionist, full of passion and inventiveness. His music consistently tips my tree, has me asking how the f? A clip (drums drop in around 2min 10):

    [video]http://youtu.be/23icR0qVVpw[/video]

    ‘A’ (Green Milk From Planet Orange) is insanely good [video]http://youtu.be/lc59-uXE9ZQ[/video] like a beast!

    Also – John Weathers (Gentle Giant) – holy SHHEEEEET!

    And who’s that guy drumming in The Mars Volta!? Mr The Shizz, that’s who!

    PS I do watch/listen to the 200bpm mathy stuff and it drops my jaw, but in the same kind of way that it also drops watching someone really fast on a Rubiks cube or very fast/accurate ppl on arcade ‘dance’ games? It’s dead impressive, yet also sort of dead/soul-less?

    For your consideration – Ginger Baker.

    Reggae drummers amaze me, when I smoked that much dope I couldn’t count to 4 let alone hold a beat!

    Danny Carey from tool is brilliant

    From different schools of teh drumz:
    Jojo Mayer
    Kliph Scurlock
    Sarah Jones

    Also Dana Carvey (yes it’s really him doing Garth’s drum solo) and a well-programmed sample/sequencer. 😉

    I completely agreed on Peart and Danny Carey, although I wasn’t really intending this to be about every single drummer who’s ever lived: I was mainly talking about the current crop, but it’s all good :mrgreen:

    He wasn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles. Allegedly.

    Mark unpronounceable surname from Big Country helped make the band sound different to other rock bands of their time.

    The Stone Roses’ Reni is definitely one of the best drummers I have seen or heard. Great swing and his drumming really serves the music.

    mark brzezicki.
    The bloke who drums live for m83.
    Will Blanchard aka Wildcat Will .
    & Reni is definitely quality.
