Rod in Toronto Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I honestly didn´t know where to post this, but this seems like a suitable thread: Pearl Jam´s Matt Cameron has just released a solo album. I know, hardly anything to be too excited about, but check out the track "All At Once" on the link below- it has such an addictive groove!!! http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/pearl-jamsoundgarden-drummer-matt-cameron-releases-new-solo-song-all-at-once/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 So favorite - as opposed to "most talented" or "best" necessarily. Gotcha. In no order: 1. Neil Peart2. Taylor Hawkins3. Gavin Harrison4. Stewart Copeland5. Tommy Aldridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Barriemore Barlow doesn't get mentioned often in these list threads, by me included, but he's definitely a favorite. One of the best at infusing complexity into rock drumming without sacrificing musicality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best at infusing complexity into rock drumming without sacrificing musicality. His work on Thick as a Brick is pretty amazing There's a slick little fill at 9:15. Definitely musical and complex! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj03RuK1IQ4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Speaking of drummers, what do all think of Alex Van Halen as a drummer? He's rarely mentioned, at least from what I recall, on here when we're talking about good drummers. Do you think he was good or just mediocre?

But I find his solos pretty dull, to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashWho Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Innovative fills = good Extended solos = snooze That reminds me, I was so annoyed that "Headlong Flight" had a drum solo in it when performed live instead of getting to hear that ridiculous drum fill he plays on the record. I so wanted to see him do that live. Might be the craziest, most epic drum fill of his entire career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
