Influences?

Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2003 5:44 pm

I'm hoping for mad-assed live off the floor kind of stuff from Primus. David

It took me a while, but I recently started listening in depth to The Who, and I can understand why Keith Moon was so revered as a drummer. The boy really was quite good. :tu:

Do you like Omar Hakim? He did a Weather Report stint. David

I saw 2 shows on that tour. Omar was just amazing. Sitting up there, straight backed upright posture, smiling away like he was relaxing on the beach, and the grooves and sound and power coming out of his kit were like a locomotive.
Other than that you all have pretty much nailed all of my influences, at least the well known ones,

Paul,
Two shows on the tour? Sounds like Lady Luck gave you a big, fat kiss. I only have had the opportunity to see the film, which of course kicks serious tuchus. Happy Hols, David

Well, coming from a bassist, here are a few that I did not see:

Ray Cooper - could do more with a tambourine than some drummers do with an entire kit. I saw him with Elton John in the late '70s, just EJ with acoustic and electic piano, and Ray with a stage full of percussion

Max Weinberg - kind of a Charlie Watts with a little more balls

Dave Garibaldi

Ringo Starr - yeah I know he wasn't fancy, but I don't know of a rock drummer who played songs rather than just beats better than him - think of the pickup to Day Tripper as an example.

My 2 cents for what it's worth (yeah, I know - $.02)
Very Happy

I felt pretty lucky. They played twice in Chicago on thet tour, on the outgoing leg & the homebound leg, so I saw them 2 times several months apart. Both just awesome shows, those guys were on fire.

BTW, what is this film to which you refer? I gotta get me a copy.

Paul,
I refer to the film "Bring On the Night". Good to see you here. David

I like all that have been mentioned.
Some more of my favorites are
Fred Below- check many blues records
Kenny Aronoff- killer snare
Peter Erskine

well here's my list of the guys who got me banging and drooling!

trilok gurtu :tu:
john bonham :tu:
mitch mitchell
dave weckl
steve gadd :tu:
neil peart
John Fishman
billy cobham

no one heard trilok gurtu??! i think he's the one guy who can blow my mind any given day or time. miles davis asked him to come and play with him but died before that could happen. he's played with don cherry and joe zawinul. you really have to check him out. :p:

speak of bill bruford's dynamics, i really like the way Fishman uses that around his kit along the jams with Phish.

Danny Carey.

all I have to say.

Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 10:05 pm

In no order:

John Bonham
Michael Shrieve
Jimmy Chamberlin
Keith Moon
Joe Morello
Whoever R.A.T.M.'s drummer is
John Densmore
Chad Smith
Brian Bennet(Excellent Soloist)
Tony Williams
Mitch Mitchell did some pretty impressive songs("Fire")

There's tons of drummers whom I don't know the names of that are also amazing

Bring on the night is a Sting Movie/documentary, about the tour behind Dream of The Blue Turtle record. But Mr. Hakim is the drummer there. Sting managed to get together some serious jass/fusion musicians, way above his league Cool

.

Uppdate and addition to my list:

Gulli Briem (he's Icelandic Laughing

)

Hi,

I'm a splendid drummer, howcome don't I, in comparison to you guys, know a single legendary/Classic drummer?

It's kinda wierd...
Also I don't know all the technical conceptions which are used in world of drumming,... But I could with guarantee take the most of you guys down...

Why am I not interested in knowing all of this... ?
Where do you get your information from ?

Wow!! I am not even a drummer, but I can't believe I haven't seen DANEY CARREY from Tool on this list yet. This guy is top notch

Me Too! And that's exactly what I was thinking jlee462 (Forty Six and Two, just ahead of me)
How about Dave Lombardo guys! IMO that dude was the best until Daney Carrey. Well atleast the fastest. His fills were sick.
Buddy Rich was NOT from this planet, so he doesn't count Laughing

(fu*kin wild man!)
And what about Vinnie Paul? I love him! IMO one of the few drummers that plays with harmonies.
I saw Dave Grohl's name on here too (page 1 I think?). He also plays with harmonies (and not so much just beats and measures)and I love the loooong snare rolls he is famous for.
Igor Cavalera was good as well.
