This thread is hilarious! I love when people try to rate who is the best 'whatever' and they only listen to complete crap for music.
Ratings in magazines etc. don't mean $hit either! You have to listen to ALL types of music to decide for yourself (including the crap). But you can't let your personal opinion of the genre of music interfere too much (although it will to a certain degree). In any case, off the top of my head have a look at these drummers in no specific order:
*Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band)
*Phil Collins (Genesis Days)
*Dennis Chambers (Parliament, Funkadelic, Scofield Band)
*Neil Peart (Rush)
These guys kick the crap out of the above listed in this thread not too mention others like (haha) Dave Ghrol... lmao. Give me a break.... Whoever here has named this guy has a music collection that starts in about 1992.
I mean common... Nick Mason (BTW, its Mason not Manson). I love this drummer and the band. Especially pre Dark-Side days. But he is in no way close to the same realm as the guys I've mentioned above on a technical scale.
HOWEVER, Geddy Lee of Rush may be one of the best technical vocalists out there, but personally he makes me cringe! Whereas Neil Young can barely hold a note, but his shakiness and heartfelt vocals are felt through and through and loved by many.
So, it's not always as easy as who is better. Who is faster maybe, who is technically more competent maybe. But who is better is not a fair question. However, in any competition I think the above mentioned drummer would fair ok!
Drum ya later! Floor_pie out!
