I would put Ulrich in the same class with other drummers like Alex Van Halen, Tommy Lee, Dave Grohl, etc. Basically a hard hitting and solid drummer. A tight package none the less. |

Perhaps i'm a little hard on lars due to the whole napster thing and that the sound of metallica has always rubbed me the wrong way (save maybe three or four songs). I've also seen some videos of him royally sucking balls. I should make a point of remembering that they started recording in the days when recording multiple takes was not only extremely time-consuming but also the only way to get a decent track... Meaning they couldn't quantize drum tracks to a digital grid, and he pulled those albums off quite well. I should give him some more respect despite the fact that i think he's a bit of a turd, and note that he's also getting up there in years which probably affects his skill level. I say all this because my first instinct was to respond by saying that he doesn't deserve to be grouped in with the drummers you listed, when perhaps he actually does. EDIT: well, if this is rock and metal, i don't know how to properly classify zappa, but i think he definitely played some rock. Is there any way terry bozzio can get onto that list? He's crazy good. |

Billy Cobham definitely deserves some recognition.
I don't think he's been mentioned at all in this thread.

I remember seeing a Stewart Copeland interview, in which he said he could not play like Billy Cobham and then he played some examples!
