yes thrash drumming in 4/4 time......
its really akin to tapping and shredding on a guitar...looks impressive, sounds impressive...really not that hard.

Jazz fusion drummers like Dennis Chambers and Dave Weckl sh*t all over any rock drummer you can name. Neil Peart might give them a run for their money, but not even he's as good as those guys.

You mean he DID lol. Although you could be talking about his son, but he is not all that.

Tough choice between John Bonham and Neil Peart. But I'd give it to John Bonham based on the simple fact I'm more of a Led Zeppelin fan. Never liked Rush too much.

seconding this. was trying to decide which to lean towards, but think i'll have to go with bonham. i'm pretty sure he was stomping the high-hat for every beat of every led zeppelin song ever... always thought that was awesome.

I don't know much about drummers, but I've gotta say that Joey Jordison from Slipknot's a beast.
