Mitch Mitchell. Where is the love for him and Hendrix? That guy was fuckin' KILLER.

Jimmy Chamberlain of The Smashing Pumpkins/and his side project i can't remember the exact name of right now.

And I will second Zach Hill, I saw him play with Team Sleep, and sweet zombie jesus! Awesome.

Vinnie Colaitua. From Frank Zappa's band, also an idependant and well known studio drummer nowadays.

If you own Zappa's 'Joe's Garage' album, listen to him play on 'Keep It Greasy'. Insane.

I'm saying this partly because it will fuck off all the drum-wankers and partly because she plays beats that suit the songs they accompany perfectly and partly because she is way cute.

Meg White.

Okay, so it's mostly to fuck off the drum-wankers (or beat-beaters, if you will). I don't care what you think, because I reckon she is fucking choice.

yeah, the topic is favourite drummers, not best drummers. my favourite drummer is probably dave lovering because he does magic, or probably some really good-looking girl drummer.

Rick Allen, or apparently Richard John Cyril Allen.

The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm!

I'm agreeing with you man, she suits the songs she plays very well. PLUS I mean she's totally cute. Espically while drumming, that's just attractive.

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).

So how would you describe Stinking Lizaveta, from the pics I'm reminded of riot grrrls or hardcore.

Edit: or I could look at thje picture and notice the big yellow STONERROCK sign :p

hands down greg saunier of deerhoof. and nervous cop if you're into that which is totally rad (greg saunier, joanna newsom, and the drummer from hella).

he just looks the coolest and craziest behind a drum set. bass snare and cymbol (though last time i saw him he had a hihat instead). sitting on a little milk crate jamming crazy.

John French (Captain Beefheart + Solo)

I looked for like half an hour and seriously couldn't find a picture of him with his drums. Oh well. Here's this one because it's kind-of scary looking:

I mentioned him earlier in the thread, isn't he amazing? Like, seriously, I can not imagine playing drums to Beefheart. too chaotic.

and now, a lady who absolutely destroys at the drums.

she is Sayuri, from the post-hardcore band Bleach. imagine a cross between System of a Down and Fugazi with Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto and Serj Tankian replaced by yelling Japanese girls. they rock faces off.

Oh I need more with them, I only have Revenge of the Canary Empire from when it was in the Forced Listening thread. It slays just about any male hardcore band I have heard and it is almost on par with The Blood Brothers, which is a huge compliment in my book.

I read the Beefheart once put his tape recorder in the kitchen sink and recorded he and his wife talking. He gave it to the drummer and told him to play it. That guy's demanding.

Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire, Belle Orchestre) Simply the best helmet and keyboard player ever.

Chad K. · « **Reply #92 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 11:07 »

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.

I can't believe this thread has gone on this long without mentioning Max Roach:

Also, Billy Kilson:

and a close-up

Of course, the biggest dick of them all, the chopmaster Buddy Rich:

I don't care how many time signatures you can play in at the same time, how many 32nd notes you can play, Buddy Rich just sold it better. He could also play like a motherfucker.

Now Krupa could definitely sell it, though he didn't have anywhere near the chops that Rich did.
