Best Drummer

He won a high school jazz competition that's great.. I could win a high school jazz competition, dosn't mean I'm good.

And you must not drum, because basically Jazz and Latin drumming are the 2 hardest, rock is pretty much the easiest, I mean seriously, I could teach you 12 rock beats in the matter of an hour, where as latin and jazz it's a bit harder.
 
Well Simon Phillips is a AMAZING drummer, Steve Lukather is a excellent rhythm player...From a technical perspective, they are the sh*t.

From a non technical perspective, they are just sh*t, period.
 
well said, and I think that the corabined talents here, the fusing of their "meddles" if you don't mind the referrence, led to far more interesting things than any of the merabers of Floyd were capable of individually. Gilmour's solo albums, by and large, were of far inferior quality compared to any of the great Floyd albums ("On an Island" might be an exception). Mason's drumming, and I think you touched on his "preciseness" which was where he drew a lot of his strength, directly contributed to the magic.
 
Alright, to tell you the truth I didn't know of most of their histories so I quickly looked them up and I found out something bizarre; none of them went to the Juilliard School of Music at nine years old and were identified as a prodigy! But yeah, if someone did that and had professional classical training at that age, they'd have to be like a God at the keys or something. I wonder if Rudess fits that bill...

Oh btw I love how you said "anyone who has played with Yes."

lol. Right so if you play with Yes that automatically makes you better than an elite prodigy. I know you were joking but whatever.

The only non-lols are Emerson and Wakeman. Both are extremely skilled, obviously, but.....
lol. Sorry but come on!! Rudess could ****ing play in a ****in piano ****ing concerto if he wanted to. In fact that was what he was initially set out to do! Well I know Wakeman's a classically trained pianist but he'd be totally lost in a concerto.
 
Neil Peart mastered his little trick of throwing one of the drumsticks about 20-30 feet in the air while his octagonal platform rotates and pretty much never drops it. I'm not saying that seals the deal on him being the best, but he's simply awesome to watch live.
 
Thank you boo boo, I was listening to a interview of the White Stripes who knows how long ago, and Jack said that he would actually try to keep Meg from play the drums so that she would keep the simplicity that is her name-sake. Because really what would the White Stripes sound like with the likes of a Joey Jordison? It would sound like crap because there would be no solid back bone bass drone. It would sound like putting Buddy Guy in to play with a Speed Metal band.
 
Pffft flag Audioslave, check out Rage Against The Machine.

Apart from Audioslaves singer, Chris Cornell, the rest of the band belonged to Rage in the 90's. The drumming isn't much different but the overall band kicks so much more arse.

Chris Cornell was originally from Soundgarden. So if you like his vocals on Audioslave then check out Soundgarden too.
