Starting Drums!
turtlspinr:
if you want people to listen to for greatness without flash, three pop into mind.
-Pat Wilson from Weezer. Listen to the Blue record. Repeat. Listen. Repeat. Copy. Perfection. Flow, groove, feeling, fits the song, great drum sound.
--Jason McGerr from Deathcab For Cutie. HATE HATE HATE the band, love love love the drummer. The playing he does on the Deathcab records doesn't even come close to showing what this guy can do. Check out the Modern Drummer 2006 video and be amazed. Again, great feeling, great flow, great touch.
--Daniel Svensson of In Flames and Sacrilege. faster than the rest, and in a very different style, but he's just as good at fitting the song, laying it down heavy, and keeping it relatively simple.
and please, for the love of god, avoid Neil Peart. last thing we need is another Neil Peart worshipper/clone. I'm sure he's a great guy, and he is talented, but his playing is the absolute cure for insomnia.
also, while you're at it, if you want to be completely amazed, check out Kai Hahto, of Wintersun and Rotten Sound. He's got the speed thing down, plus he's real slick with the jazz stuff too. youtube it for his name, Wintersun, or Rotten Sound, and you'll be simply amazed.
and, if you want all out mechanical speed, Derek Roddy and Romain Goulon fit that bill.
Spluff:
Marco Minneman. Mmm.
Patrick:
GUYS GUYS GUYS
THAT GUY FROM DISMEMBERMENT PLAN

Neil Peart is not a great guy. He writes Ayn Rand bullshit.
Billy Cobham is great, but I imagine I'll have to put him in the same category as bandmate M.J. McLaughlin: 'I ain't teachin nobody this shit cuz I'm never gonna can learn it!'
Yeah, playing drums is fun. We were moving some junk today and came across one of the toms littering the garage and my girlfriend got the biggest grin on her face just hitting it with her hands. :D
The Viz:
Has anybody mentioned Cozy Powell? Listen to Rainbow's "Rising" and "Long Live Rock and Roll," you'll see why he's one of my favorites (not to mention the guitar prowess of Mr. Ritchie Blackmore). Oh, and make sure you look into Buddy Rich, he might just be the greatest drummer of all time (definitely the most influential).
