you might wanna rethink the Lars thing.

**chuckie669** · 04-03-2008, 06:10 PM

Might seem out there, but I thought Chris Vrenna from NIN had some serious skills.

Any death metal drummer will own any of those drummers.

Check out John Longstreth from Origin for shear drumming brutality; Lars or the Rush drummer would be complaining of their arthritis flaring-up after a few minutes of blast beats.

Thomas Haake from Meshuggah is on another technical drumming level than all others, acutally that whole band is on another level. If youve never heard of the metal band Meshuggah then click the link and you can read about them and understand why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meshuggah

Sorrry but I think you are confused on thinking Neil couldn't easily play any death metal......

So where's the love for Billy Cobham? He practically invented open handed playing, something I'm still trying to achieve.

Check out this site: http://www.drummerworld.com/drummersolo.html

Lots of good solos.

Death metal drummers do tend to be better than most owing to polyrythmic playing skills. AFAIC, all drummers have something to offer, even simple rythyms as these types are what make for pop music's popularity as the drums (unless your a drummer of some sort) tend not to be a lead instrument.

Peart, as well as others (surely you don't think BR couldn't have played rock if he wanted to) have capabilities beyond what they tend to express for $$$.

Have you seen NP doing the BR tribute? Big band jazz is just as easy to play as most rock songs.

**310stanger** · 04-03-2008, 08:40 PM

some of my favorites......

1. Danny Carey of TOOL
2. Raymond Hererra of Fear Factory
3. Keith Moon of The Who
4. Alex Van Halen
5. Phil Collins
6. Vinnie Paul
7. Joey Jordison of Slipknot
8. David Silveria

**ss~zoso~ss** · 04-03-2008, 09:06 PM

ya know, i think the last post was the first to mention Kieth Moon, and i'm a bit upset at my self for forgetting about him, he'd be my number 2 with number 1 being john bonham

**yellowv** · 04-03-2008, 09:36 PM

Bohnam and Peart.

**danziger** · 04-03-2008, 09:54 PM

Of the zillions of rock drummers I've seen live:
Dave Lombardo
Danney Carrey
Scott Travis
Neil Peart

Also worth noting live:
Simon Phillips
Tommy Aldridge
