Definitely Peart for me, with Portnoy being a close second. We had this debate a while back.

I dont like blink but even if I did I would not put him up there. He is no where near close to being the best drummer.

Surprised nobody mentioned Al Jackson, Jr. of Booker T. the MG's and Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Albert King, Rufus Thomas, Eddie Floyd, Johnnie Taylor and, basically, all the classic period STAX artists.

He continued his career by playing for all the early 70's Al Green hits on HI Records.

If you turn on an oldies station or a soul satellite channel, you'll hear Al Jackson, Jr. once every 25 minutes or so.

D Drum Education
First im a bassit in a metal band, but drums is my fav instrument for ever so im always very critical of drummers

Mr Uli Kusch!!! Do any body knows these two bands?






He is the master, (maybe even the first, I am not sure) in combining speed, incredible time signatures and most IMPORTANT is TASTE, TASTE and TASTE in combing your talents. I'm not here to point fingers at any drummers, but to use an example, Joey from Slipknot is very accomplished drummer, and very good wits his feet, but our drummer(wich by the way loves Joey) can play like him. I played a few Gammaray Helloween songs to him and he can NOT emulate Uli, because of "the TASTE factor"

I think drummers these day try to be to technical and forget sometimes the bigger picture of just playing basicly and make the song as a whole sound good

any way this is a bassit speaking.........

Ofcourse I have seen both of these bands live. They are from here in Germany and do concerts here all the time. Both are good bands.

What kind of Metal do you guys play? I used to do vocals in a Thrash band and I am hoping to start up a new one again soon now that I am no longer in the military.

I thought Dark Tranquility was the opening act at an Iced Earth concert I am going to in 8 days but it turns out they are not. I am not sure who the "guests" are.

Geeze.... Other than Gene Krupa and Ringo Star I have never heard of
any of these people. Gene Krupa was (notice the past tense) the best
there ever was ! Maybe I need to move back to the planet you guys are
on....

Yes I have been to Wacken once and I am going again next year because of Iron Maiden.

I normally go to Rock im Park and have been 10 times now because the big greats like Metallia, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and Megadeth play there regularly.
