Hey man if you like Barker that's cool. Some of the drummers I've listened to were not technically too intricate but as long as they work within the band that's all that matters.

BEST DRUMMER ON THE PLANET!!!!

Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater.. and now drummer for Avenged Sevenfold.

+1 - to me it's just a step or two away from randomly hitting shit in a drum kit. Don't get me wrong, he's fast at hitting random shit.

Most of you here would not like my taste in music either, so it all works out.

Well its just that anybody who plays anything knows playing fast is the easy part .. Its playing a something thats real slow that is the hard part .. Going real fast you can hide your mistakes .. But slow they really stand out .. Just my two cents ...

Blues Traveler - saw them once - my first concert at Red Rocks

Celtic Woman - saw them twice last year - awesome shows

I also like most of the 80s rock bands, but I'm not much into what most of the people here like. a7x, disturbed, korn, ICP, etc. - not a fan at all but everyone seems to like them. Screamo does nothing for me.

Celtic Woman sound kinda like The Corrs ...

fail. Neil Pert isn't even on the radar anymore. Drumming has evolved.

How do you mean .. I think the days of a Drummer needing 25 drums and 16 cymbals is over .. Good drummer can make a 3 or 5 piece set sound great ...

wrong, and yes drumming has evolved however without Pert you would not have the amazing drummers we have now, or progressive drummers

large drum sets will always be part of metal and progressive... however you are correct a good drummer can still be great on a 3-5 piece set.

remember the stray cats... solid drummer cant remember the cats name

No way someone can need that many drums ..

Yes that's rediculous.

You said he was second best. If you meant back in the day yes he was all the rage back in the 70s/80s.

I'd still post Peart as my favorite drummer. Great to watch.

And he plays the mini-piano thing, too.

I don't know if posting singers is okay and I won't post my favorite because his music is even more soft rock than the good song above.

That's some funny stuff there. I'm kinda surprised Metallica isn't whining copyright infringement or something and making him pull it down.

A little lame I suppose, but talented even if it is misplaced talent.

Ibanez: Ask your drummer -Any drummer worth their salt can play quads (LH, RH foot, foot - some folks start with the RH) and 6's (LH, RH, LH, RH, foot, foot - some start with the RH) which is what Portnoy is doing a lot. Don't get me wrong as I like him and what Dream Theater has done (I own all they've put out and I've seen them twice).

But I'd rather be a master at playing drums with 4-way independence and have the ability to play open handed (both of which I currently am practicing at).

Even at my age (old dog for sure) you can learn new tricks.

If you wonder what I'm referring to (open handed and 4-way independence in a drummer) then check out what I posted on page 1.
