The REAL drummer thread.
 

I know there is a thread on this.
But i want some less unheard of drummers that you think are good.
Cuz classic rock isnt the only genre out there.
List your top 1 or yer top 1242342354 dont care =/.

1. That guy from the the berzerker
2.Joey Jordison (Slipknot)
3.Dave Grohl (Nirvana)
4.Travis Barker (Blink 182)
5.Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)
6.Danny Carey (Tool)
7.Brendan Canty (Fugazi)
8.Blake Richardson (BTBAM)
9.Josh Freese (alot)
10.Igor Cavalera (Sepultura)
11.Derek Bloom (From First To Last)

of that list, i like Jordison and Grohl, especially Grohl, i agree, he should be mentioned more often. Only heard a couple of 182 songs but i remember thinking the drummer wasn't bad. i've only heard one song by tool and i didn't really pay attention to the drums. haven't heard the others, well i've heard things about Tommy Lee....not necessarily good things, so i'll just say things.

Josh Freese. Great choice.

Brad Wilk (RATM, Audioslave) Specifics: None, just a wicked drummer overall.
Brant Bjork (Kyuss and others) Specifics: Kyuss-800; Kyuss-50 Million Year Trip.
Phil Taylor (Motorhead) Specifics: Hellraiser, Speedfreak.
Matt Cameron (Mainly Pearl Jam and Soundgarden) Specifics: PJ-Alive; Soundgarden-Jesus Christ Pose.

They'd be my first four that I think truly miss out due to the old timers. Probably others better but these four made it to my mind first. Other mentions:

Dale Crover (Nirvana and Melvins)
Sean Kinney (AIC)
Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)
Tom Diello (Monster Magnet)

Kazaa is miles better in that department.

Man i Had kaaza for the longest time and then all of the sudden all my songs were gone so i decided id go with Limewire...I like it better...my computer is so *** and everytime id finish dl'ing a song on Kaaza and id go back to my library it would freeze and then like do this messed up thing..

This has gone far off topic..

dont forget his work on "late night with conan o'brian"

hehe...

Max is somewhat "over the hill" now. But in his younger days, he was actually an excellent drummer.

Thats a great list, but I dont think we are allowed to mention any classic rock drummers, it may anger misfitspunk, because he thinks joey jordison is better than any classic rock drummer. Your welcome to post in my drummer thread, because I, along with you realize that the majority of great drummers come from the classic rock era.
P.S. Im ashamed that you have forgotten Bonham, Moon, Peart and Baker

he's a great drummer on Conan, especially for drummin on such a small set

No need to be ashamed, Kash.

The guy who started this thread stated "But i want some less unheard of drummers that you think are good."

So I had no intention of naming "elite" drummers like Bonham, Moon, Peart and Baker--all of whom were household names in their prime.

Thank you, I am reassured now. I started a thread with a poll between moon, peart, bonzo, baker, and carrey, and misfitpunks (aka alexisonfire, i think he changed his name to try to ditch his past reputation), said that he thinks joey jordison is better than all 5 of them :laughing: :rofl:

He never said he thinks Joey and such are better.

This thread was for drummers who are overshadowed by the likes of Moon, Carey, Peart and co.

He is making a thread for the men/women who get less recognition then they deserve. So don't be ashamed, because Music Man did not forget those guys, he was merely posting about what this thread is actually for.

Actually, if you read post #127 in my best drummer thread, he states:
I'd vote for joey jordison if he were on there out of all those guys.
It just means i think hes the best out of them.

(those guys = moon, peart, bonham, baker, carrey)
:rofl:

Thats right I THINK not IS.
Leave my thread now or i swear to god ill PM a mod.
Your trying to start an arguement jackass.
