Who are your favorite drummers? Mine: Jack Lawrence Brown from the White Lies and our Rob Bourdon from LP.
Of course Rob, because he is my number one! (only as a drummer) Then there is that YouTube guy I don't know the name..I think something with Chris or so...I don't know anymore... Rob Gardener from Guns N' Roses & Jack Irons from Red Hot Chili Peppers
Kieth Moon (the who), Mitch Mitchell (the jimi hendrix experience), Joey Jordison (slipknot), Rob Bourdon. John Dolomayan (SOAD)
Chris Pennie (formerly of The Dillinger Escape Plan and Coheed and Cambria) Abe Cunningham (Deftones) Jon Theodore (formerly of The Mars Volta) David Sandström (Refused) Ben Koller (Converge) John Stanier (Battles, Tomahawk, formerly of Helmet) Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Hmm, interesting topic! There are probably some incredible drummers in bands that I don't like or I'm not aware of, but some favourites of mine off the top of my head (apart from Rob, naturally): Stewart Copeland (The Police) Nick Augusto (Trivium) Cobus Potgieter (the YouTube guy) Wuv Bernardo (P.O.D.) - Nothing particularly technically amazing about him, I just love his energy and his vibe Jose Pasillas (Incubus) Tony Royster Jr (Jay-Z + various live drumming roles) Danny Carey (Tool) And my friend Gav from Semperfi. I'm biased, since I engineer all his drum sessions, but he's dope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COJAmb-oGvc
Of course Rob Bourdon, but besides him... Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (RIP) Luke Holland (formerly a YouTube cover guy, but recruited to join the Word Alive metal band) Rob Rolfe Scott Phillips Garrett Whitlock
...Did RHCP get a new drummer? Last I checked, Chad Smith was still their drummer. Also, I think Vinnie Paul needs a spot on this list of "favorite drummers." If you don't know who he is, take that surf of shame to google and feel defeated.
Irons was the original RHCP drummer in the '80s, prior to Hillel Slovak's death. He also played with Pearl Jam for a while. Some of these have been listed already, some haven't... Danny Carey Matt Sorum Dave Grohl Shannon Larkin Buddy Rich The Rev John Dolmayan Josh Eppard Chris Pennie Neil Peart John Bonham Keith Moon Eric Singer Tre Cool Josh Freese Chad Wackerman Brooks Wackerman Vinny Appice Carmine Appice Bill Ward Tim Alexander Nick Mason Brian Mantia Roger Taylor Chad Smith Bernard Purdie Gene Krupa Rick Allen Travis Barker ...Wow, I got a bit carried away there.
I implore you all to watch this. Carter Beauford - Dave Matthews Band [video=youtube;edLhkzAynY4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edLhkzAynY4[/video]
These are some of my favourites: Rob Bourdon (LP) Matthew Greiner (August Burns Red) Adam Grey (Texas in July) Jordan Mancino (As I Lay Dying) Daniel Williams (The Devil Wears Prada) Morgan Wright (I The Breather) Brandon Barnes (Rise Against), he just looks so relaxed while drumming Rob Rolfe (Enter Shikari), probably one of the funniest Aaron Gillespie (back when he was in Underoath) Daniel Davison (Underoath, ex-Norma Jean) Lars Ulrich (Metallica) Jen Ledger (Skillet) Travis Barker (Blink-182) Vom (Die Toten Hosen) Florian Weber (Sportfreunde Stiller)
