dream Band Poll (drummers)
blindsuperhero:
William Goldsmith - Sunny Day Real Estate, plus one-and-a-half Foo Fighters songs (interestingly two of their best songs - Doll and Up in Arms. He plays the quiet bits)
or
Tucker Rule - Thursday
Two drummers quite similar in style, not flashy or overly loud or anything, but really musically sensitive and detailed drumming.

By choosing the drummers you think qualify as the best, the poll has some bias to it. A bias to you, the investigator. We want to eliminate this bias and make it a valid study.
Well if we really wanted to do this the correct way, we would accept nominations. Everyone would vote for say 5 (or whatever) drummers and the top 10 (or whatever) would make it to the poll. We could then have rounds of voting until one drummer has the majority. When we settle on a drummer we will eminate black smoke from our chimney, because, well we all know that drummers are the most dysfunctional, and most replaceable members of a band.
So really we need to establish a set criteria for 1) nominations, and 2) voting. Once we all agree, then we can move onto actually figuring out who the dream drummer is. Yes it will take a long time, but face it folks, where are we going? We'll all be here to participate.
Don't you love beauacracy?
Of course we can just do it your way. :)

yeah - i definatelly agree with wills here. if we're to do anything of this sort and not expect it to degenerate into a proverbial dick contest, we definatly need nominees, tabulation of those nominees and then a poll with say the top ten tallying nominees. Rinse and repeat with guitar, base, vocals, handclaps, etc.
In fact, I humbly suggest we start something like that and see where it takes us. could be fun.
.loyally yours.
Druid:
I'd definately have to give props to William Goldsmith and Joe Easley, both are very good.
I'd have to give my vote to John Stanier (Helmet, Tomahawk, Battles) or Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins, Zwan, The Jimmy Chamberlain Complex) really.
Lance Carter (Maroon, Sonny Sharrock), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Two Dollar Guitar), or Brit Walford (The Breeders, Slint, Squirrel Bait might factor in depending on the type of music.
KharBevNor:
I vote for Michael VanDyne of Arsis.
Or Cain from Crotchduster :D
Jolouie:
