Hey! Maybe somebody will take a lookie loo at this- though the chances of that happening are drastically low after I said lookie loo- Anyway, I've got my own opinions on this- Personally, I think Shannon from Godsmack is awesome- though he's more stylistic than technical- either way, he looks great in person- Uhhh- I also kinda dig Tucker from Thursday. I'm not real big on old music, so anyone willing to toss their two cents in, feel free! ;D

don't listen to much godsmack but...
tucker has gotten a lot better in the past year or two. i've always loved his playing, the band lends itself to great drum stuff, some big heavy parts that you can really lay into. but since they recorded their last record his hands got way better, great stick control... little nuance type stuff. he said he's been working on that stuff so kudos to him for self improvement...
now if i could just follow his lead and work on my chops...

hey everyone...
i'm a drummer and i'm so glad that this topic is up here.. thanks, will. i'm not a big blink fan... but travis barker has got some serious chops. his work in the transplants and boxcar racer is way sweet. and nofx's drummer has got mad endurance. the best drummer i personally know is this kid named Ben who goes to my university.. damn.. he's incredible. you should check out his band (www.nicetrymusic.com) i don't know if much of his good stuff is on there, but he rocks. anyway... yeah... i'm off but i'll talk to you guys later.

I too agree that Travis is a bloody amazing drummer. I'm no Blink fan, by any means (especially since Brand New had to cancel their tour to Sydney because Travis broke his foot [mind you, totally not Travis' fault, but still]) but yeah, he is incredible. I also agree with you about Tucker. He is probably my favorite drummer. Awesome. The drumming in Thrice is pretty damn good aswell... Peace and out.

i think Daman from Hey Mercedes is an underated drummer, he looked really smooth live
but yeah 3 drummers that i think really rip are Heath from Mock Orange who can do some crazy off beat stuff, George from Hot Water Music is real sold, and nathat from the casket lottery, they switch meters like crazy and he's got all these impressive little things going on if you listen for them

Neil from Rush, best drummer ever. From a newer band it would have to be Riley from Thrice. He's gotten so much better over the last couple years.

I know its kinda cleche, but I'm gonna have to go with Carter from DMB... the stuff he does just is so good with all the hat and ride work. The drummers who are really are insane though are those underground jazz and fusion guys. Its ashame they dont get any mainstream play, cause some of those dudes are just jaw dropping.

John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. He was insane. He once got one of his drum solos up to 40 minutes during a show. Now come on, I don't see drummers doing that anymore. He had lightning fast triplets. He was a drummer. R.I.P

Ryan from Lucky Boys Confusion is a pretty good drummer. i like the fact that he never had any training/lessons or anything of that sort and he got super good from just pounding away...

i can't believe Dave Grohl hasn't been mentioned yet. Not only is he an awesome drummer but he's also a wicked awesome singer and guitarist. I heart Dave Grohl
