Best drummer

Re: Best drummer

Lars just didn't want to give his music away , nothing wrong with getting paid for your work
record companys crashing in record numbers show they were right

I don't blame Metallica one little bit for the Napster thing. Who the hell are Napster to give away Metallica's recordings anyway?

I just think Lars is a tool by the way he craps on. It's like he's so full of himself.

Re: Best drummer

<sigh> Sadly agreed. Ive been a fan of Metallica for over 20 years. Lars is a hell of a drummer, but he's a tool. :-\

Carlos(Cheap Trick), Sheila E., Cindy Blackman(Lenny Kravitz), Mick Fleetwood, Don Henley, Joey Kramer(Aerosmith), and my favorite Animal(Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem).

Re: Best drummer

DOH! How could I forget Animal?!

Re: Best drummer

Animal is great! Did we mention Max Weinberg? "Born To Run" came on the truck radio today and as always knocked me out of the water. Max can play, too. BTW - he wrote the book on drumming, literally. He has a nasty case of arthritis and had to completely change his style so he didn't beat himself up. It was that or quit playing. He wrote a book about which I keep meaning to buy and read but haven't yet.

Re: Best drummer

[Vegaman]

I think I may have mentioned him before, but ... Kenney Jones. Check him out here playing with The Faces

If you don't want to sit through the whole song (and why you wouldn't is beyond me) skip ahead to about the 4:10 mark for his solo. I think somewhere around the 6:00 min. mark Rod has to yell at him to let the rest of the band back in on it, lmao

I must be late model, but my votes:

by technical playing, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold) and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)

by big, stupid fun playing, Tommy Lee and Jeremy Spencer (Five Finger Death Punch)

how can you tell.. the mastering and mixing is so poor.. that it sounds like the cymble is tape hiss..
with no channle seperation and no db punch.. they have everything at11.. no headroom at all

[dieselgeek]

Tommy Lee absolutely sucks at drumming.

By watching above-shot film. For the most part, I agree with you. But the music I like is all like that...
