No Portnoy is way too good for me. That guy has a monster set up so big, he needs TWO chairs... TWO CHAIRS. When he does drum solo's I've literally seen him just jump from one chair to the next midway, it's fucking sick.
I love, no, worship Portnoy .. I love his style and I try to throw some of it into mine. His "Siamese Monster" really amazes me.. I'd love to play that kit once. I envy that Japanese dude who got to play with him on their Japan tour in 2004, it was on the "Live At Budokan" bonus material DVD ):
Hve you seen terry bozio's kit? It huge! i would post a pic but I cant seem too.
I saw him live on his solo tour through Europe in 2003. Really, really, really awesome. A 2 hour show, only drums. I still regret not having any paper autograph )':
This may not be the most metal thing ever, but do any original drummers here incorporate the hip-hop syncopation and hit-hats with the speed, power, and raw power of metal...plus the uniformity of pop rock..??
Well not really combine it, but for example I love to play jazz or blues as well. As I drummer you should be open to different styles, to broaden your knowledge
do any of you guys play to dreamtheater or symphonyx? they have ridiculus times,like 13/7.
I love, love, love Dream Theater and Symphony X. I don't really play along to them, but I listen to them a lot and sometimes I try to pick up some of the drumparts by ear and put bits of it into my play.. and yeah.. they have some weird times..
Ah, does anyone know Carter Beauford? He's the drummer of the "Dave Matthews Band." Amazing drummer, although pop, he is really, really good. You should check out their song "Tripping Billies"
