Lars definitely.

 

I'd hate to be stuck in an elevator with that guy, or my probation would end real soon!! laugh.gif

 

As an aside, I have always been of the opinion that no one compares to Peart. I drill that into my kids always. In fact my youngest and I are looking for drum lessons because of Peart.

 

Perkins is a different style. He can play punk/alt and jazzy stuff. I waould say Banyan is progressive alt jazz if you had to label it. You should have a listen to it sometime. I have an album in mpg if you want.

That would be cool. Send it to me some other time though. I'm busy right now doing some homework that's due tomorrow that I totally forgot about doh.gif

Lars is kind of a jackass

Rolling Stone KIND OF hates Rush.

Limp Bizkit is KIND OF the worst band ever.

George W. Bush is KIND OF a bad president.

 

 

 

I guess I have to agree with everyone here...Lars, Alex, Travis Barker, Tommy Lee, and Mike Portnoy top my list. I guess Portnoy is the most talented out of the 5 I named, but like someone said he's all chops and no feel. That goes for the rest of DT too. Plus I hate how Portnoy always compares himself to Neil. He needs to get it through his head that he will NEVER be able to touch Neil on any leevel of drumming.

Nice comments Puppet King. I totally agree with you about Portnoy. He's easily the best out of the list you posted, but he is still overrated. My friend at school loves Portnoy, and says that he is so much better than Neil. I always tell him that he is greatly mistaken, but he never listens to me. Oh well, it's his loss.

God, I'm so tired of hearing about Portnoy this, Portnoy that. Listen people, he is a GREAT DRUMMER, probably the BEST ROCK DRUMMER (yes I'm yelling!). Open your 'non musical' ears and listen to what he plays. And then ask yourself 'does anyone else play that way'? Or 'play that clean'? Or 'play that strongly'?

hint=NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd hate to ruin everyones day on this forum, but he blows ALL away. In every aspect of drumming. Period!

**Not just 'my opinion'.

 

Alright, now hammer me..............................

At least your friend doesn't think Travis Barker is the greatest drummer alive. Sad to say, I know people who will tell you that TB blows away all drummers.

I hate Blink 182.  They suck.  All their songs are the same and they're all bad.

Blink 182 Sucks ass.

Most emo groups do.

He does nothing original or innovative. He plays a lot of drums. He is good, but not great. All he does is rudimentary. Portnoy is the drummer equivalent to Yngwie, all chops and no substance.

Weckl is great. Bozzio is great. Neil is Great.

Danny Carey is twice the drummer that Portnoy is. Carey is just as clean, but far more inventive. Portnoy is a yawnfest, as are the rest of DT.

Portnoy IS a geat drummer. He has very good variety, but he is not the best.

Porntey - I just don't listen to music to be impressed, so not matter how hard he tries it leaves me cold. Other than 'listen I'm great', what is he trying to say to me ?

 

I learnt to play drums by playing Rush songs, picking them out n that, I loved Peart's technique. Then for a good time I thought, no man you don't groove, it's all too hard, you never leave space (blah blah). But that was just me learning what I wanted to say on the drums, I guess a bit like a teenager regecting everything to find themslves. I now back in the Peart is awesome club - yeah I don't want to play like that, but he does ,and it is stupidly awesome.

 

People I rate are the Stone Roses drummer - his groove blows me away, real dance music and the Muse drummer (he's been listening to a lot of Peart)
