Neil Peart of Rush

The dude handles time signature changes as smooth as a Benz on the Autobahn.

Canadian Turtle · 03-17-2010, 09:12 PM

There is no better than Danny Carey of TooL along side the god of time signatures Tomas Haake of Meshuggah. There those are THE top two... can't beat em!

Cowabunga Kiefer · 03-17-2010, 09:22 PM

Dango from Amber Pacific is killer...plus he graduated from Belmont University (where I go)

Uh...it's hard to decide a favorite percussionist. I mean most of the celebrities in the percussion/marimba community are pretty much jerks. If I had to land on one, it would have to be Emil Richards. Recorded thousands of film soundtracks (was in Ratatouille, vibe dude in Sex and the City, xylophone dude in The Simpsons, pretty much everything). It'll take me a while to compile to great marimbists but I do love the works of Michael Burritt and Eric Sammut.

Koschei · 03-20-2010, 04:46 AM

Joey Jordinson-Slipknot

Neil Peart-Rush Even if you dont listen to rush it's a given,

Mike Smith-Suffocation

Shannon Lucas- The Black Dahlia Murder

Martin Lopez- ex Amon Amarth and OPETH

Va Drum- The guy from the youtube vids. I love his Metallica mix, he's not even trying and goofing off and sounds way better than Lars.

If you remember the old Nick series, Hey Dude, that's Johnathan Galkin playing the drums

Roger Taylor of Queen, playing a two minute tympani solo

Damon Grant

*Buslady* · 03-24-2010, 06:40 PM

Pecu Cinnari: fastest set of legs I've ever heard, machine gun bass drums lol

A little *too* Raph · 03-25-2010, 07:57 AM

I'm gonna have to go with John Bonham, Steve Gadd and Steve Jordan. The drummer from Third Eye Blind is also amazing, but I can't think of his name.

*Oculus Orbus* · 03-26-2010, 09:34 PM

Dan Peters, probably. He's Mudhoney's drummer, wich probably makes him my favorite just for that, but also he's played in Nirvana, Feast, Bundle Of Hiss, Love Battery... to name a few.

Sword Slicin' Leo · 03-27-2010, 10:00 PM

you gotta give props to Rick Allen of Def Leppard.. the man learned to play with his damn feet for cryin out loud...And he hits those drums HARD!!!! bad ass drummer!!

*Guitar_Raph* · 04-07-2013, 11:21 AM

Chase Jackson (of The Thirstbusters)

Before he was Young & Restless, Michael Damian played vibes in his family band, the Wierz.

optimus_convoy · 05-21-2013, 09:03 PM

Vinnie Paul - Pantera
David Silveria - Korn

papa_smurf73 · 05-22-2013, 06:02 AM

Daren king - mute math
Jose Pasillas - Incubus
Adrian young - no doubt
Joey Marchiano - pax217
Dominic Howard - muse
Tony Royster Jr. - this dude was amazing at age 12. Look him up on you tube.

*Bauer536* · 05-22-2013, 07:44 AM

Phil Collins. Ringo Starr might have been from the Beatles, but Collins knows how to make drumming sound cool. You should hear songs like "In the Air Tonight." It's awesome.

Ive gotta second this, he is just amazing. Lars Ulrich is probably my favorite metal drummer, but thats factoring in his personality as well.

Another great one! and what challenges he faced!

joefsas · 05-22-2013, 08:16 AM

Personal fave of mine

Matt Traynor-Blessthefall
This dude has got so much energy and seems like such a nice guy

Damn pics won't work.....AGAIN!

RaphAndDonnie · 05-22-2013, 09:08 AM

In no particular order...
Tre Cool- Green Day
Andrew Dost- Fun.
Mark Pontius- Foster The People
Benjamin Thompson- Two Door Cinema Club

I wish that TDCC would make Thompson an "official" member of the band already, instead of him just being a touring member.
