Inspriational Drumming
CommunistDaughter:
Is that the proper term? Drumming?
So, here is the deal, my little brother finally saved up enough money to get a drumset - he's been playing "percussion" in the school band since however young it is you start such things. I want to make him a Mix CD, or several mix CDs with some really good drumming. Stuff to inspire him, you know.
I don't know much about drumsets, but his looks like a pretty basic one to me.
Anyhow, I figured since this forum is full of music lovers, you would have good suggestions?
Anything I absolutely must include in order to inspire my little brother to become the coolest drummer ever?
Thrillho:
Well first of all, off the top of my head, some general bands who have good drumming:
The Who
Blink 182 (fuck all of the people who hate them on this forum, Travis Barker is a brilliant drummer)
Secret Machines
Joy Division/New Order (Stephen Morris may be a six-foot metronome, but he gets the job done)
Stevie Wonder in the mid seventies
Bloc Party, the songs tend to be shit but the drumming's amazing more often than not
And some specific songs that come to my mind when I think awesome drumming:
Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine
Idlewild - You Held The World In Your Arms
The Mars Volta - L'Via L'Viaquez
Interpol - Say Hello To The Angels
Bob Dylan - Honest With Me
Sigur Ros - Gong
Nick Cave - Abattoir Blues
Wilco - At Least That's What You Said
Misereatur:
Robert Wyatt and his time with Soft Machine.
Al Foster
Porcupine Tree (both Gavin Harrison and Chris Maitland are superb drummers and their work with the band is great)
Led Zeppelin
Gene Hoglan's recordings with Death (even if your brothet is'nt a Metal fan, he'll be blown away. Shit, I'm gonna listen to Symbolic right now).
Martin:
First of all, he should listen to Led Zeppelin. John Bonham were, and still is, the worlds greatest drummer. Amazing. Songs such as Kashmir, Rock 'n' Roll, Black Dog and of course Moby Dick are all esential. Those were at least some of the reasons I got into drums. KISS is an aweful band, but their album 'Destroyer' has some pretty nice drumming. The song God of Thunder, amongst others.
Drummers that I like are Danney Carey (Tool), Martin Lopez (Opeth), Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta), Matthew Martin Bajda (Funeral Diner), Stewart Copeland (Police, Oysterhead), Ben Koller (Converge), Bill Bruford (King Crimson, etc.), Andy Ward (Camel), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), and so on.
These names might say you nothing, so therefore I will make a list of songs with some these drummers:
Tool - Stinkfist or The Patient
Opeth - Windowpane or The Drapery Falls
The Mars Volta - Inertiatic ESP or Cicatriz ESP
Funeral Diner - The Wicked or We Become Buried
Converge - Concubine/Fault and Fracture
King Crimson - 21st. Century Schizoid Man
The Police - Don't stand so close to me or Walk on the moon
Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine
Porcupine Tree - Sound of Muzak or Blackest Eyes
