so there's my rather punk rock-centric list.  i wanted to include more jazz and funk drummers, but i couldn't think of any off the top of my head.

also, whoever was the original drummer for Dick Dale & His Del-Tones was AMAZING.

Matt Tong, of Bloc Party. The drumming on "Banquet" is pretty wicked. Come to think of it, the drumming on the entire album is pretty wicked. Yeah.

Basically, Dave Grohl is god, he's drummed in a few things; Tenacious D, QotSA, Nirvana, occasionally the Foo Fighters when showing off.

Also, Travis Barker and that guy from Rush, who also has a fucking HUGE drumkit.

    Concerning Lars Ulrich...

    1. You might want to look up "humour" or "joke"  in the dictionary some time. I knew mentioning him would make a lot of people angry. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously ("Your favourite midget with a Napoleon-complex").

    2. I believe Lars is a better drummer then most people think. I mean; look at all the (ex-)Metallica members. Jaymz, Kirk, Robert Trujillo, Jason, CLIFF BURTON, Dave Mustaine. All first rate musicians and he played with them.
    If he really was good for nothing, I think Cliff would have kicked him out long time ago.

    BUT  agreed, he is no match for Mitchell or Bill Ward (Black Sabbath whom I forgot).

    3. No material from the ...And justice for all (except One) live?
    Then I have several bootlegs where Metallica gets off the stage and a briliant Metallica-tribute band (who sounds EXACTLY like Metallica) plays "Harvester of sorrow", "Dyer's eve" and "Blackened" for them...

    First of all, Lars was responsible for kicking Mustaine out of the band in the first place, and Metallica's fame is a sick zombie of Mustaine's creative ideas in the first place. And I certainly wouldn't call Trujillo or Newstead 'first-rate' musicians. Hell, I would say we can't even tell how good Burton was, because on Metallica's early recordings you can't even hear the bass (Although because of Orion, we know he could write songs).

    Secondly, go listen to Master of Puppets for a few minutes, and make sure you listen carefully to the drumming. There's absolutely nothing interesting going on there. I know 13-year-olds (literally) who can drum better than he does in that song.

    And finally, Metallica may have played some from AJFA live early on, but I know that they stopped doing so.

    You're either pulling my leg or you don't know your metal history... With the risk of making a total ass out of myself.

    If anyone was responsible for sacking Mustaine, it was Burton. Lars and James will never admit it but there are a lot of people who will tell you that that Cliff was the leader of Metallica. He and Mustaine never got along in the first place.

    When I say "first rate musicians" I'm talking about musicians with high technical skills. Maybe that you're a brilliant bassplayer but I would say that Jason and Robert are fuckin bass monsters. I've heard Robert do a solo and it was impressive.
    Jason however indeed wasn't much of a songwriter. And it's a bit early to say anything about Robert.
    If you search the Internet long enough, you shouldn't find it very hard to find some Cliff Burton footage (from Trauma to Metallica).
    And you should be able to hear bass on the early Metallica songs...
    Anaesthasia (pulling teeth) which is a 4 minute bass solo...
    The intro of "For whom the bell tolls". Yes, it's a bass...
    The Call of Ktulu

    The only album where the basses are mixed in the background is ...And justice for all.

    And no, they still play songs from ...And justice for all. Maybe they didn't play many songs when opening for the Stones but they did play at least 3 songs from AJFA on the last tour.

    Post by: Storm Rider on 16 Jan 2006, 13:27
    I don't play bass, but I can think of plenty of bassists that are better than Newstead or Trujillo.

    But I was under the impression that Lars and James kicked out Mustaine for his heroin addiction, not that Burton kicked him out because their personalities clashed.

    And isn't Trujillo out of the band now anyway?

    Dave Grohl is not a good drummer. In fact, I would go as far as to say he is an average drummer who happens to be in one of the biggest bands in the world because he happened to be in a band that a dead guy was in.

    That's not opinion. You can't look at someone like Dave Weckl and then say that Grohl is a good drummer. Like, seriously. Dude.

    dude, dave grohl is not an average drummer, average drummers are the twenty-somethings who play in local punk bands for six years. maybe he isn't as good as some of the technical death guys or whatever but, that sure as hell doesn't mean he's average.

    Post by: Kai on 21 Jan 2006, 15:45
    No, I'm pretty sure he's average. I don't know what exactly everyone talks about; the Nirvana durmming isn't anythign to write home about, and the same to the Foo Fighters. Seriously.

    Quote from: Shaft
    Dave Grohl is not a good drummer. In fact, I would go as far as to say he is an average drummer who happens to be in one of the biggest bands in the world because he happened to be in a band that a dead guy was in.

    That's not opinion. You can't look at someone like Dave Weckl and then say that Grohl is a good drummer. Like, seriously. Dude.


    Ever listened to "Song for the Dead" by QOTSA?  I've been looking for three years and I'm still not sure if I've found as decisive a display of drum pyrotechnics as that song (particularly the first and last minutes).  I'm not going to say Dave Grohl is the best drummer that ever lived, or the best drummer in rock right now, but he's pretty freakin' good.

    Very Ringo Starr.  And like Starr's drumming, there's little I can criticize, because even though it's simplistic, it works quite well.  And bravo to the girl drummers (eulogy to DMBQ's China implied).

    I know there are supposed to be pictures, but I'm at work and that would be too involved.  That said-

    Tim Dow- Season to Risk, Shiner, On, Year of the Rabbit
    Jason Gerkin- Molly Mcguire, Season to Risk, Shiner
    John Stanier - Helmet
    Max Weinberg- E Street Band, Late Night with Conan O'Brien


    Also- Jason Newstead and Robert Trujillo are both ridiculously talented musicians, and I hate Metallica.  Both are very schooled, play upright and electric eatremely well, can read and score, and have chops in varying disciplines for miles.  I have seen Newstead play slap that would make Flea weep.  I have also seen Trujillo play upright bluegrass music in ways that would make Lee Sklar consider retirement.  These guys are not only the bass players for their respective bands, but sought over studio guys, (especially in the case of Trujillo).  While their preferred forms of music aren't my cup of tea, they're good.
