turrifield Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I saw The Streets on Saturday, their drummer was good he was solid funky with good feel. Anybody know who he is? Also when I saw Herbie Hancock he had an excellent drummer he was only about 19 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew_peacock Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Topper Headon was a tremendous drummer before Mr Brown interfered with his life. Give 'em enough rope is his testimony and in my mind the best Clash LP of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Topper Headon was a tremendous drummer before Mr Brown interfered with his life. Absolutely drew, Topper Headon was great. Can't agree on "Give 'Em....." being the best album though.I'm afraid I'm gonna have to follow the crowd and go for "London Calling".

roadslave Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 No one has mentioned Ian Paice! Nor Mitch Mitchell! Mitchell's career was short lived but when in his prime, he was awesome. Cozy Powell is another that deserves mention - although he is bombastic - he must be one of the few to have a hit single!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marooned in Maywick Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just been on the bar at a function tonight and - for the genre - Dougie Johnstone must be one of the best around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorleague Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I know some great drummer jokes, does that count? What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?A drummer. How do you know when a drummer is knocking at your door?The knock slows down. What's the difference between a drum machine and a drummer?You only have to punch the information into the drum machine once. How do you know if a drummer is sat on an level drum riser?He drools out of both sides of his mouth. A drummer, tired of being ridiculed by his peers, decides to learn how to play some "real" musical instruments. He goes to a music store, walks in, approaches the store clerk, and says "I'll take that red saxophone over there and that white accordion." The store clerk looks at him a bit funny, and replies "You're a drummer, aren't you?" "Yes," the drummer replies, "So can I have my new instruments or what?" The clerk thinks for a moment, before saying "OK, you can have the fire extinguisher but the radiator's got to stay". --Oh, and straight off the top of my head, on the heavier side of things I vote Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory), Igor Cavalera (ex-Sepultura, just), Dave McClain (Machine Head), and Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters).

motorleague Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 ^ :lol: ^ Might i add that the Grohl-man also guest drummed on Killing jokes last album He's been cropping up all over the place recently. He drummed for Quenns of the Stone Age on "Songs for the Deaf" a wee while back, and did a track on the new Nine Inch Nails album too. I remember when Songs for the Deaf came out, a listening party was arranged in a rock club called Spiders in Hull, which I used to frequent with my ex-girlfriend, who was at Uni there. They were forced to issue a public apology after a minibus full of deaf people accidentally turned up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
