Got a drummer friend looking to learn rock, so I'm building a playlist for him.
I've already got Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters, and Bloc Party, but I'm having trouble finding other god tier drummers.
I'm not going for Rush. Neil Peart is overrated af to me.
Other urls found in this thread:
You're making a huge mistake not including Rush, Moving pictures has god tier drumming.
Alas, i recommend checking out Bill bruford, he's a jazz drummer, but king crimson (one of the bands he was in) is rock. check out Discipline
Neu!
Show him Ian Paices "the mule" from the 1972 live in Japan Album!
...
Journey has an amazing drummer OP
and put some Cream on that playlist
This, and MkI/MkII Deep Purple in general
Neal Peart is shit and only understands how to overdo a drum track, not serve the song
Great tracks for him to study:
The Beatles - Rain
Can - Vitamin C
David Bowie - Breaking Glass
ALL of Ginger Baker's Air Force album
if you wanna put him through the wringer:
Captain Beefheart - Lick My Decals Off, Baby
anything Hella
anything Deerhoof
anything Lightning Bolt
Also all drummers need to listen to jazz like:
Art Blakey - Orgy in Rhythm AND Drum Suite
the Actuel released album "Africanasia"
Max Roach - We Insist! Freedom Now Suite
Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach - Money Jungle
Miles Davis - Live/Evil
You should remind him that every single great rock drummer has had some jazz influence
Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles
Journey - Wheel In The Sky
System of a Down - BYOB
Guns n Roses - Welcome to the jungle
Blink 182 - Dammit
just a few off the top of my head
Van Halen could be good as well, stuff like Hot for teacher.
you need Buddy Rich in there somewhere
Jazz Neal Peart
Any track with Dave Grohl.
I found his drumming on TCV's self-titled to be really, really good.
I also really dig the QOTSA albums he played on. But that's just my opinion.
>Journey has an amazing drummer OP
>Journey has had amazing drummers
fixed
cause they had both Aynsley Dunbar and Steve Smith
I would show him some Phil Collins before the drum machine… he could learn from the drum machine beats
Study Bill Ward, Ringo and Phil Rudd to show him you don't need to be all over the place to be a good drummer and you could develop your own style based on the way you count
Bill Stevenson and Jimmy Chamberlain are my favorite rock drummers with a lot to be learned from both
Vinnie Colaiuta on Zappa's Joe's Garage is phenomenal.
Mitch Mitchell my dude
and Keith Moon
Carl Palmer is underrated af
Here you go friend youtube.com
Deep purple is good so drumming. Others have said it, but Bill Bruford is a great drummer; So bands like Yes and King crimson would be good. Outside of Rock/Prog some absolutely solid as fuck drumming comes from motown and 70's soul music. If you wanna learn how to groove some MJ would be perfect, or James Brown. That'd be difficult, but the control would be extremely useful to learn.
Seriously though, I don't think you should discount Neil Peart, if you don't like Rush that is understandable. Yet it's crazy to deny that he's not a very talented drummer, 'Moving Pictures' is a very strong album.
You know Neil Peart is a jazz/swing drummer too right? He studied jazz drumming in the 90s and reinvented his technique to be less "overdone".
If the music Rush made wasn't supposed to be that way, you'd be right.
Coincidentally Neil Peart also does jazz
Barriemore Barlow of Jethro Tull is extremely underrated.
Good call with Bloc Party OP; Matt Tong's work on SIlent Alarm is fucking incredible.
Elvin Jones man, gotta have the rhythm machine, I mean you just gotta have it
>Got a drummer friend looking to learn rock
If he's a drummer, he should already know rock. Is he retarded?
Viet Cong or whatever they're called now
King Crimson
Neu!
The list goes on..
Neil Peart sucks.
Bump
Stewart Copeland?
One More Red Nightmare by King Crimson has the best drumming of all time.
Also by King Crimson -
Discipline (the song)
VROOOM
B'Boom
The Power To Believe pt.2 for creative use of electronic drums
seconding Bill Ward
