Posted October 3, 200618 yr Often forgotten and ignored in most bands, but they usually keep the thing together,and they're usually a bit mad. But who were the best drummers. Just a few names to start with, just add to the list others that I've missed. Dave Grohl John Bonham Keith Moon Ginger Baker Carl Palmer Charlie Watts Bill Bruford Bill Ward Nick Mason Ringo :lol: (who could leave out dear Ringo) Animal (muppets )
October 4, 200618 yr Bill Ward or Keith Moon :D Dont have rock stars like Keith Moon any more <_< too true, drummers nowdays are very bland... just look at the quality in the list above, none today can come close.
October 4, 200618 yr was Animal from the Muppets based on Keith Moon? He (Animal) seemed to have the same old crazy drumming style :D
October 4, 200618 yr too true, drummers nowdays are very bland... just look at the quality in the list above, none today can come close. Wrong mate - Dave Lombardo from Slayer is a brilliant drummer with a very distinctive style, and he played with a lot of really different sorts of bands in the period when he was out of Slayer including Jazz bands, he was a bit of a 'drummer for hire' who can turn his hand to just about any style of drumming... Danny Carey from Tool is a fantastic drummer also, Ben Viglione from Dresden Dolls is a fantastic Jazz drummer, having seen them play live twice I can vouch for how good he is. Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures is a truly gifted percussionist who can play just about any percussion instrument to a very high level of competency... John Bonham and Keith Moon would probably be my all-timers, but there are very good percussionists that exist now...
October 4, 200618 yr i was looking in the book and there is an entry for cozy powell, drummer who had 3 top 20 hits in the 70s. so were these songs just mainly instumentals with him drumming?
October 4, 200618 yr i was looking in the book and there is an entry for cozy powell, drummer who had 3 top 20 hits in the 70s. so were these songs just mainly instumentals with him drumming? I think he was actually drumming and singing on them.... And, yes, it IS actually possible for really exceptional drummers to do both at the same time....
October 4, 200618 yr I think he was actually drumming and singing on them.... And, yes, it IS actually possible for really exceptional drummers to do both at the same time.... yeah like in that hippy band that was posted. it just says in the book cozy powell - drummer nothing about singing like it normally will so. this is why i was wondering
October 4, 200618 yr it just says in the book cozy powell - drummer Hmm, strange, maybe he was just using his name as the band name... From what I hear, he's not exactly very unassuming or shy..... :lol:
October 4, 200618 yr Hmm, strange, maybe he was just using his name as the band name... From what I hear, he's not exactly very unassuming or shy..... :lol: so its a bit like pj harvey and alice cooper? well nearly
October 4, 200618 yr Joey Jordison's my favourite. Fast double bass. Not as fast as Dave L though.... Or indeed Nicolas from Dimmu Borgir/Cradle of Filth..... :P :lol:
October 4, 200618 yr Not as fast as Dave L though.... Or indeed Nicolas from Dimmu Borgir/Cradle of Filth..... :P :lol: I don't care about them. I don't just like him coz he's fast.
October 4, 200618 yr I don't care about them. I don't just like him coz he's fast. Joey's a competent drummer, but he doesn't really do that much to be honest, I've seen Slipknot live and the other two do all the percussion stuff....
October 4, 200618 yr Joey's a competent drummer, but he doesn't really do that much to be honest, I've seen Slipknot live and the other two do all the percussion stuff.... Well I like Joey, I think he does do a lot coz I've watched plenty of performances where the camera's just on him, and he does a lot. :huh: I would have thought if anything it was the other way round to what you said. Chris does a bit of percussion but Clown doesn't really. :lol: Edited October 4, 200618 yr by x-The_Royston_Poisoner-x
