Drumming

Jazz, rock, techno, rap, whatever... gimme the songs and/or
drummers that drop killer beats!

When I was young it was New Order's Stephen Morris that got
me into taking drum lessons when I was young (even though I
knew half of those beats were pre-programmed drum machines)

Here's a current fave of mine: Joey Baron. The guy looks
like he actually enjoys what he's doing.

Autechre's Gantz Graf is one of the more complex beats
I've heard in recent years. Beautiful stuff.

theres a banging track on miles 'big fun' album the drums
pan left right to some wild guitar and wind instrument. the
rest of the album is very mellow and dark.

worth download for the one drum track.

That track is "Go Ahead John" from Big Fun. Personally I
find the effect annoying, it sounds too gimmicky and would
have been better used sparingly.

possibly the most listenable, enjoyable drum solo in all of
history, and it was played by a frickin' 10-year-old:

tony royster jr

apparently this kid is one of the top session drummers in
the world now.

sorry, he's 12 in this vid, not 10. one of my favorite parts
is the sound in the announcer's voice at the end, you can
clearly hear him saying "holy fucking shit where did that
come from?" in that one little choke/chuckle.

Most of those drummers underwhelmed me to quite a high
degree. The kid's drumming I didn't enjoy, mostly because he
just plays for the sake of it, without integrating their
playing into real songs.

This guy plays just about every percussion instrument ima...

How about something electronic


 

offline redRummy from Brighton (United Kingdom) on 2008-12-12 15:30 [#02258518]
Points: 403 Status: Regular



I like that electronic one, but its interesting to think
that whilst its difficult to play on something like the MPC
he has there, it would be quite easy to play the same rhythm
on a proper drum kit...

Maybe he should try using a electronic full size kit, and
trigger the samples that way :)

It's all about the interface.
(at least thats what my girlfriend keeps saying)

only 2 of which are visible at any point in time

i don't want to get into a discussion about 'the best
drummer', but stewart copeland is certainly one of the most
influential in modern pop and rock the last 20 years.

It was clever how that Harrison guy used one of the cymbals
like a tabla drum. And the parts where he put a
cymbal into water was also realy cool. Cheers for posting
that, spculum.

Bill Bruford's drumming on those early Yes albums was truly
sublime. Alan White had some big shoes to fill.

Three greats right here. I particularly love the opening bit by Weckl.
Vinnie Colaiuta is one of the finest drummers alive. A lot
of feeling in his playing.

I second the Jack Dejohnnette mention.

Elvin Jones is a bad man. Listen to A Love Supreme.

I don't really care for Tool's music, but Danny Carey is an
excellent drummer.
