What are some drummers you must hear if you want to get inspired and bang away your own kit? Drummers with different approaches on how to play and stuff like that.
Pic related, John Stanier from Battles and Jojo Mayer are some guys that made me pick up drumming, whoelse should I be listening?
should add: Antonio Sanchez Eric Harland Jeff Watts
Ryder Perez
Greg Fox Literally the best drummer out there.
Juan Young
Liturgy's drummer? He's a beast, indeed. Does anyone ever pay attention to anything apart from his drumming on Generation? youtube.com/watch?v=qciRxrlTFGc
lol compare this to literally any performance by any of the jazz drummers mentioned in this thread and it is laughable
Owen Long
That was like the sloppiest shit ive ever seen
Adrian Bailey
Memes aside Ringo Starr
Not the most technically talented I guess but he always made his drumming colourful and unique. His creativity and unpredictability with fills made his drumming as important to the sound of the Beatles as any of the other instruments. The best drummers stand out because they forge their own sound as well as keeping time. Topper Headon of The Clash is a great drummer too
Ian Wilson
I know trips don't lie, but I have never liked ringo's drumming. It was just very bland and it didn't seem like he evolved. That drum solo on "The End" is kind of depressing.
Keith Moon's drumming is the definition of "creativity and unpredictability"
James Russell
I mostly agree with you but I would say that his style of drumming is a good place to start for aspiring drummers.
I got pretty good at drums and I started by mostly just drumming along with Beatles records and copying Ringo's simple but effective patterns and fills.
Dylan Allen
Watch Zach hill play, it's mostly endurance and precision but he's also very creative while playing like a madman, which is hard to find
Juan Perry
the guy from the flaming lips is my patrician answer
The only problem is that Reign in Blood (his peak) songs come and go so fast. Speaking of speed metal drumming, Scott Travis on Painkiller sounds fucking awesome. That intro man. That fucking intro. youtube.com/watch?v=UJ4Nel-aHZM
Carter Young
how has nobody pointed out that OP's pic is Brian Chippendale and not John Stanier yet?
drummers of Sup Forums, I'm disappointed in you
Lucas Martinez
I actually listed three different drummers; hence the comma after "pic related".
