Ugh, you people wouldn't know good drumming if your face was a kick drum.

I'd take Dave Grohl's, Ringo Starr's and Phil Collins' simple and tasteful drum work over double bass wankers like Joey Jordison and Chris Adler any day of the week.

Couldn't agree more. That stuff is over-playing, and most of the time it's used at the wrong time. It takes away from the music for the most part, although some drummers (Neil Peart included) can be very tasteful with their double bass work.

Another overrated multi-instrumentalist wannabee. Happened to be in a cool as **** band for a while but that doesn't make him better than Dave Grohl. Or even close for that matter.

Collins' skills in particular are very underestimated. His work with Gabriel era Genesis, Brand X and Brian Eno had him dealing with a lot of tricky time signatures, polyrhythms and tempo changes. People only know him for his 80s pop stuff, which is a shame. He's a very very very underrated drummer.

I do have a hard on for some of the more technical drummers, like Bruford and Peart. But while they're very technical they still know how to suit the songs perfectly. |

I think Jack Irons is pretty underrated. But perhaps Im biased if I told you what album he played on lol. I also think Steve White is pretty awesome. John Bonham doesnt go a miss either. Theres more, but I cant remember them right now.

because you're an idiot if you think Bjork wasn't an integral part of the songwriting core of Kyuss. he wrote or co-wrote at least half of Kyuss' first three albums alongside Homme, he got more songwriting credits than Garcia ever did. and it was the absence of Bjork that drove the band to seek alternative berths for their creative output.
