Chad Smith, my favourite drummer ever.

Plus one of the coolest guys on the planet :cool:

Being a drummer myself, I've not into guys for their technical prowess. Its more about the parts they bring to the songs like what Bryan Devendorf from The National or Sam Fogarino from Interpol are doing these days.

I'm not gonna lie, I saw Rush on the Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo, Greatest Hits and Vapour Trails tours and back in the day when I was in High School I thought Neil was the shit. But by the end I was bored out of my mind and not feeling the music at all. Nowadays I'd rather listen to Mike Joyce's groove on Interesting Drug then Neil Peart's drum fills on Tom Sawyer. But that's just me :thumb:


Maybe you can't stand Rush but he is phenomenal.

Very true, but in saying that I dont think Rush would be the same without Peart,So the parts he brings, makes their sound,he actually writes the lyrics too.The band and their music are very technical,hell Lifeson and Lee are some of the most technical guitarists around and that's probably why it all fits nicely as RUSH,sometimes it's nice to hear technical perfection if only for the confirmation that it can be done,it also helps for future learning.

For me when I feel like listening to some heavy rock i will often throw on moving pictures ahead of anything else,but I admit it's been a while.

oh skinner:)..the first look i had on the title i misread it as celibate drummers...:lbf:
 
I just noticed that the title of the thread was not actually "Celibate drummers", as I had it mentally filed as. I didn't even stop to think it was odd, this is a Morrissey forum afer all. Talk about letting the context determine the reading. :lbf:

cheers
 
Pictured here on the left with brothers Isaac and Taylor (Zac=hottest)

And to think they started out as these guys in 1997 (still cuter than any other brother band)

Taylor was always the best looking one and he still is! Maybe this is because I like my men to look like women, I don't know.

Best drummer to ever live, let alone actually play the drums (and he's not a bad singer either!):

Claude Coleman

Absolute unknown drumming god. He's Ween's drummer, watched him do a 30min solo as part of a 3hr set they did last year. Just for some drumming awesomeness check out youtube clips of songs like "Man and Woman" and "Johnny on the spot" .. the guy is insane, switching between drumming while juggling his drumsticks, drumming with 3-4 sticks in each hand to going bare handed. I've read reports of a gig where he wouldn't stop during a drum solo so the rest of the band dismantled his kit during the show to stop him haha
