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...

 

 

i was watching the readig festival prgrame in bbc3 and i saw the dresdon dolls!!! the drummer was superb

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?

2 songs were instrumentals (Man In Black and Dance With The Devil) and one (Na na na) featured repetitive lyrics.

 

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....

 

I'm guessing your not including Phil Collins in this analogy :lol:

God no.... :lol: But I never thought he actually did both at the same time, I thought he started out as the Genesis drummer and then graduated to the vocalist position when Peter Gabriel left.... Didn't Genesis get another drummer after Collins became vocalist...?

 

I like Phil Collins. Got his greatest hits video.

He's got a really good voice live.

can we vote for one out of tilly and the wall :lol: :rofl: :lol:
