Worlds Greatest Percussionist/Drummer....

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

It is a good show if you have not seen them. I would rank them live up there with Metallica.

yip I saw on the Wacken website that Mainden is playing, would love to see them. Have you ever seen Stratovarius live? now there is brilliant drums, guitar and bass \m/

 

[seesul]

This is the list I´ve found on Internet:
1.Neil Part(Rush)
2.Ian Paice(Deep Purple,Whitesnake)
3.Dave Lombardo(Slyer)
4.Reed ST. Mark(Celtic Frost)
5.John Bonham(Led Zepelin)
6.Vinnie Appice(Black Sabbath,Dio)
7.Matt Cameron(Soundgarden)
8.Bill Ward(Black Sabbath)
9.Dale Clover(The Malvins)
10.Tommy Lee(Mötlye Crüe)

But my vote goes for Rick Allen, one-handed drummer from Def Leppard

Yes I have seen Stratovarius at the Longhorn in Stuttgart. It was a pretty good show.

1.Neil Part(Rush)

Agreed at number one in my opinion.

3.Dave Lombardo(Slayer)

This man is a killer Drummer. I have seen Slayer several times and when it comes to the double bass this man is a genius. My heart almost jumped out of my chest the last time I saw them back in June at Rock im Park 2007.

I didn't vote because my name's not on the list (and why isn't it?!)

Because you are not Niel Peart, Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, John Bonham, Mike Portnoy, etc....

Becasue Elvis is dead, and if I recall correctly, he played the guitar...

He is not dead. I saw him dropping acid with Jimi the other day at the Rock Fabrik!

 

[Elvis]

I'm obviously not dead and Jerry Allison taught me to play drums.
Turns out I really enjoy it, so I hung up the axe.

You guys are so oblivious.

...and as for the, "Because you are not Niel Peart, Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, John Bonham, Mike Portnoy, etc...." comment, I would like to think I play with a little taste.

Anyway, I don't aspire to be a copycat. I aspire to be a musician.

...by the way, has anyone noticed that Gene Krupa's name is misspelled?

You guys are so oblivious. :rolleyes

No we were only kidding around. Grow some skin.

Anyway, I don't aspire to be a copycat. I aspire to be a musician.




Elvis

I certainly hope you dont. I enjoy playing guitar and I take influences from my favorite guitarists but I like to invent my own style as well.

 

[magnocain]

Dafnis Prieto.

I have met him and heard him, and (almost) played with him. He is a semi-jazz-soloist and dosent uses bands to support him.

 

[Elvis]

Very cool, individual.

...and I want his girlfriend.

On another thread here i mentioned a remarkable British band named Porcupine Tree i discovered a few months ago.

Meet Gavin Harrison, Porcupine´s drummer/percussionist...top class. A drummer of the very highest quality and skill. One of the very best in the present-day world.

The song he´s drumming for in the studio (Futile) is from the band. Pay attention to how he handles the double pedal.

Check him out:

P.S. The other videos available there titled "Gavin Harrison" as well do not show Gavin playing; have no idea who those other drummers are. "Futile" shows Gavin himself.

What?!?!?!?!?!? Bonham in second place?!?!?!?!?!?! I love Rush as much as the next guy (seen them three times in concert, pre-Presto), but Bonham was uncanny; if there was ever such thing as a natural-born drummer, he was it. His timing was perfect; 30 years later, he still amazes me. Listen to When The Levee Breaks , or Black Dog.

Sod Stitch:

Did you see the video of posted of Gavin Harrison?

Looks like Knebworth, '79.
