Hello Daniel, thanks for visiting my blog and introducing me to yours and your facinating work! I think I need to explore more here to learn about your process...which I will do.
You asked about my favorite drummer...well, there are so many. I would have to be remiss, though, not to say it is Jay Rosenthal who is really more of a percussionists. I would also have to add Ringo into that mix along with Mic Fleetwood.
Keep on creating...there are some cool things going on here.
Heather, nice ones! '80s and '90s alt/post-punk rock drummers certainly don't get the widespread rep they deserve. Often they're the most important part of their band's sound! Thanks for the excuse to listen to some music I paid less attention to growing up.
Randy, excellent. Session drummers are frikkin' amazing to me.
Brann Dailor - absolutely fantastic Nick Menza Mitch Mitchell Carl Palmer Neil Peart Mike Bordin "
Great list!
Dailor, wow! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqayQGHHMhg He'd like my Randy Rhoads apparently, too. And Megadeth, Jimi Hendrix Experience, ELP, Rush, and Faith No More/Ozzy! Holy crap, good bands, awesome drummers.
Of course the usuals - John Bonham & Keith Moon are excellent.
My other favorites: Ginger Baker (Cream), Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) with odd facial expressions & all, and also Don Henley (who isn't usually recognized as being any good, but he really is a pretty okay drummer!).
Mike Joyce - The Smiths Rob Ellis - PJ Harvey Budgie - Siouxsie & The Banshees Laurence Colbert - Ride Alan "Reni" Wren - The Stone Roses Uriel Jones - Motown Stewart Copeland - The Police Dave Grohl - Nirvana Gregory Slay - Remy Zero Stephen Perkins - Jane's Addiction David Lovering - The Pixies
