Top 5 Drummers: your all-time list

[ThePhilosopher]

People need to check out Origin to hear John Longstreth's amazing work...its hard to understand speed until you hear him.

 

[Bombasaura]

Jason Rullo!!!

 

[Strychnos]

i agree in most cases, but some of their songs are truly metal.

Case in point: "Pull Me Under".

I think highly of Carcass' drummer too. Too bad Carcass didn't last.

Jason Rullo vs. Mike Portnoy ?

 

[segaszivos]

I think that you are all biased to your favorite metal bands. This is a list of best drummers, and it includes how much they have influenced music and drumming as we know it today.

1. John Bonham - Led Zepplin. (OMG, he invented the drum solo. How the hell did 25 people forget him :/)
2. Keith Moon - The Who (The Who were a driving force of Hard Rock in the 60s asnd 70s. You can't forget this guy. He would go wild on the drums and get everyone in the head banging mood.)
3. Mike Portnoy - Dream Theatre (Great song-writer. Best progressive drummer of our time. Let's enjoy his masterpieces while we can.)
4. Danny Carey - Tool (If you don't think that he is good, then I suggest that you go out an buy every Tool album and then tell me what you think.)
5. Dale Crover - The Melvins (If you have seen the Melvins live, then you know what I speak of.)

 

[The Stormbringer]

Thomen Stauch (storch?) from blind guardian

Stauch is correct, and finally someone who mentions him!

 

[Strychnos]

Ahh..John Bonham. Very monumental in his own right. So is Deep Purple's drummer and Rod Morgenstein, who're both lefties. Like me.

 

[urinalcakemix]

Terry Bozzio
Neil Pert
Jason Rullo
Mike Portnoy

LARS ULRICH - How could ANYONE not love his garbage can Snare?

Lets Mix it up a bit, who is your top 5 WORST drummers?
I think Strato's Drummer is the #1 there... Fill in the rest

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Oh, your so funny! Lars

 

[Strychnos]

worst drummers? I'd have to agree that Strato's drummer leaves a bit to be desired.

other drummers who I've no respect for usually fall outside of the metal umbrella. Drummers like that one from Linkin Park, Evanescence(the only reason I listen to this group is Amy Lee's voice--that's it) and those that think they represent the new face of punk. Whatever that means.

 

[Strychnos]

Needled24Seven: "Sloppy" is the word that comes to mind.

What do you guys think of John Dolmayan(System of a Down) or Tommy Stewart(Godsmack)? They're pretty good, far as non-metal drummers are concerned.

 

[urinalcakemix]

who are the white stripes?

 

[Strychnos]

Yup, I think Danny Carey really is good. So is Freese.

and no, no one has to know about those abominable white stripes.

 

[segaszivos]

Ya, that chic from White Stripes sucks sloppy donkey dicks.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche is a great drummer.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

Some of these jazz/fusion drummers like Dave Wrekle, Dennis Chamber, Virg Donati (he also does jazz),
Are extreemily amazing

 

[Johnny Wonderpants]

1. Neil Peart
2. Mike Portnoy
3. Virgil Donati
4. Carl Palmer
5. Martin Lopez...

 

[Harp Heaven]

The White Stripes =

Fuck that chick sucks on drums. But even worse than her drumming is the final product she and her ex-wanker Jack releases... Every damn rock clichee in the book, released with a talentless "minimalist" sound, designed to appease the retro-posers. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR....
