I think the 2 bands that have the best drums/drummer are Slipknot and
Nickleback. Slipknot because they got that double base thing going on, but i
also think that they can turn rage into the beat of the drum. I saw Slipknot in
Concert last year and their drummer did a drum solo in which he made some pretty
sick music, all while the platform he was sitting on was moving up and down,
side to side and upside down!
Nckleback got good drums simply because their Canadian, and well their drummer
is just naturally talented. When i saw them in concert they had a sweet drum
solo too in which the drummer's stage moved forward and shot fire and fireworks
while he drummed for about 3 minutes straight this
guy rocks
I agree that the Slipknot drummer is pretty good (I think in one concert he and
the drumkit were attached to a sort of crane that turned them upside down while
he was playing!) Impressive but not the best.
You should listen to some Dream Theater and Tool. Both Mike Portnoy (drummer for
Dream Theater) and Danny Carey (Tool drummer) have insane timing and skill. Tool
is a very progressive metal band and so they use a lot of weird timing in their
songs. Listen to Parabola for a taste of their songs. Dream Theater is more old
school but still has some progressive metal elements and will rock your socks
off. BTW the Dream Theater guitarist, John Petrucci, is a god on the guitar :P

Yeh, i listen to Tool, the one album i own is AEnima (which is a pretty sweet
work of art) and i think they got some good skills XP
Yeah, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater is awesome, it's much more interesting
listening to the drums than generic arpeggios and the like ('cept it songs with
less that, oh, let's say twenty minutes). However, take a good listen to Shinya
from Dir en Grey, he's pretty kick ass (and pretty).
Danny from Tool.....hands down. They've got a new CD coming out next month
(which I've got a copy of hee hee). Listen to the song Vicarious.....simply
awesome.

sweet can't wait till that comes out. I've been pretty bored of the stuff I've
been listening to recently. I'm looking foward to a new album to listen to.
What's the new album called?
Hands down, Neil Peart from Rush, and let ya know, that's Mike Portnoy's Hero,
BTW. =P That should tell ya something. Despite, I think Peart is more of
Percussion type of person. Still, I think he is on the better ones that is
currently alive.
There is a lot of good drummers out there, so it's hard.
Buddy Holly, Ginger Baker (I think they started the long insane long drum
solo's, well, Cream), and a few others that I can't recall off hand. That's
where I said it's hard, for everyone has different style, and it's hard to
choice besides coming down to fave thread. =/

To me it's more about the drummers ability to come up with a suitable and
original beat for a song rather than an ice age long solo. Portnoy is a true
musician through and through, he co-writes a good portion of Dream Theater's
songs and always comes up with great drum riffs.
Edit: I just watched a bit of the Neil Peart vid... dayum! he's a great
percussionist! I'd say he's better than Portnoy when it comes to solo
performances since Portnoy tends to just bash the drums when he solos whereas
Peart actually plays a song. Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing
Yeah, told ya that Neil Peart pretty much wipe the floor with most current
living folks out there. Not sayin' he is the best, but he is one of 'em, that is
for sure all right. =P Kinda funny, for Geddy Lee (Rush's Bassist) is like a
personal hero (I'm a bassist) and they meld really nice together musically, if
you hear other stuff. Granted, it's not as complicated as the solo of course.
Still work lookin' into, espically that he that they are pushin' 50+ and been
together for 30 some odd years.
Kamelot's drummer isn't to bad, Casey Grillo, but there is a lot better than
him. For Portnoy, I agree, he has talent, but I just wish he would play off of
it more since he does just tend to bash. Despite, a lot of people makes a good
drummer is speed. IMO, it's making a song, just like any insturment that's what
shows the talent. =) He has it, just needs to ulitilize it.
I know there was a 12 year old, can't recall his name. But he was like flippin'
sweet for his age, and that time. I'm sure he is a lot better now. Anyone know
who I'm refering too? BTW, your welcome for the video sharing. =)

the best drums?
MARCHING BANDS OF COURSE! ^_~ (polyrhythms ftw!
D)
(/band geek)
I think Anders Jivarp ( Dark Tranquillity ) did a remarkable jod in the album "The Gallery".
I also like Yukihiro's style ( L'Arc~en~Ciel ) a lot.
Those are my favs.
OH, and Dave Suzuki's ( Vital Remanis ) playing in the album "Dechistianize", i still dont know how a living man can play like that jejeje.
best drums.... Phil Collins is really good, but one of the best drummers is guy from "King Kobra"
Best Drummer?
>>>Slipknot
is the one i'm thinkin' about!
dont u agree? their beat is powerful
Cuz da sound of their Drummer
I Love their beat
