sullysue Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Very cool. Thanks, tangy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Fascinating. I never would have imagined that a Flaming Lips bandmember could be a Rush fan. There's a gulf or difference between the two, but it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I saw Mastodon back in may. Brann is a fantastic drummer. I like how Neil inspired him to do both, write lyrics and drum. If you have never checked out any mastodon, you might want to do so. Apparently those 3 drummers interviewed are just a few of many that will be quoted in the next edition. Should be fun to what they have to say about Neil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Interesting stuff. I look forward to the main atricle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Sphinc-Tor Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 That was interesting....I'd never heard of those guys (Had heard of their bands though) and I love to hear of other drummers giving accolades to Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Anyone know who the 30 drummers are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 From what I see, it is ridiculous article. I have never heard of any of these kids except Zonder. I am guessing Portnoy will have to be one of the 30. Why has Neil been on the cover of Modern Drummer at least 7 times and Louie Bellson not made a cover tribute story? Why have the following drummers/percussionists never made the cover and more than deserve to?: Clive Bunker Barriemore Barlow Mark Craney Doane Perry Graham Lear Michael Shreve Ian Paice Michael Giles Jamie Muir Evelyn Glennie Ian Wallace Brian Davison John Marshall Pierre Moerlen Mike Clarke Frank Katz Chuck Burgi Toss Panos Pierre van der Linden Cozy Powell Andy Parker Gary McCracken Jerry Mercer Tony Smith Pete Gill Nigel Glocker Tommy Campbell Bobby Rondinelli Gil Moore Alphonse Mouzon Mark Mondesir Ralph Humphreys ?????????????????????????????????????? A lot (not all) of these guys are just as good, if not better than Neil. Certainly many of the jazz drummers listed are much more proficient. And a lot of these guys were out gigging around the world when Neil was hawking on Carnaby St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
