Drummers That Will Kick Your Ass

[Dan #2]

Maybe because i'm only a casual drummer, there are drummers out there that i find nothing short of inhuman.

 

Homies like Tomas Haake, Travis Barker, Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy and Joey Jordison are absolutely stunning. I never really gave the crazyness of their drumming much thought, as i have stuck to easier stuff, but hearing Slipknot's live album made me realise how amazing these guys really are. During a full concert, when a drummer can do something like 9.0 Live's drum solo, it's so impressive.

EDIT: I should note that during this solo, Joey is mounted into a chair like in a cockpit, and the stage moves in vertical circles, powered by hydrolics. Check out the Disasterpieces DVD if you can.

 

 

Who here drums?

Name some other good drummers.

I have that DVD and I think the fact that his platform is moving is pretty well the only part of that drum solo that's actually noteable. Besides killing the double bass, s'just a run of the mill duggita, duggita, duggita.

 

There's a fucking wicked Joey Jordison solo somewhere on my computer. S'just a rudimentary taping of him practicing but I used to fucking love it. Gotta find that again.

 

As for the question, Neil Peart is and forever will be my hero behind a kit.

I've been plying drums for about 2 years (self taught) and yeah, Neil Peart is the ultra-god.

Hellhammer (Mayhem, Arcturus, Shining, Antestor, The Covenant, & more)

Horgh (Immortal, Grimfist)

Oh! The drummer for Godsmack is quite good actually. Godsmack? Yeah, I think it's them. He's a skinny guy with a lot of tatoos...

Art Blakey

Max Roach

[crazycanuck]

Lars Ulrich will kick your ass if you download music.

[HoboFactory]

The fellow from Cream.

 

edit: Slipknot's drummer is hella over-rated.

Who was the drummer who replied to the ad that said "no junior Ginger Bakers"?

[borntohula]

Carla Azar

Dave Grohl

Josh "the Notorious One Man Orgy" Freese

[Katastrophina]

Ronnie Vannucci from The Killers. He goes crazy on the drums. He sweats buckets, works his ass off, and doesn't miss a beat. He looks like the tazmanian devil... It's awesome.

If you find it, you should share it.

 

I forgot about Hellhammer, i'm silly.

Did i mention Nick Barker, from Anaal Nathrakh, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth?

 

Even if you don't like the style of a drummer like that, to be able to keep that crazyness up for hours at a time is amazing.
