  • i think alcxxk insulted me last time i said bad things but

    its hard to tell from that clip, the best drumming isnt necessarily the fastest.

    sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 17:25 | X
    • its not just that its fast

      its so intricate and difficult to fully understand, but easy to grasp the overall metre of it

      alcxxk @sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 17:27 | X
    • agreed

      but still, a technically gifted drummer who is brave(?) enough to put it into practice in his music.
      alot of drummers don't display their skill in such a way as guitarists do perhaps. i like it.

      neecho @sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 17:28 | X

  • this guy is better

    because the stuff he does isn't just endless flubberdydubberdy

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp5XqUxxe94

    Plus he sings.

    mug_mug_mug | 24 Feb '07, 17:30 | X

    • i cant fathom how people think chippendale is comparable to hill

      hes a good drummer and it works and lightningbolt are fun and they kick ass live, but imo theyre just not on the same level

      alcxxk @Alex_b | 24 Feb '07, 17:39 | X
      • on same level.

        by far. as a drummer i testify to that.

        Hill cheats slightly by using a different setup. Not that he aint good mind. Plus chippendale does all the squaks and distorted singing. not my fave though.

        Alex_b @alcxxk | 24 Feb '07, 17:43 | X
        • how is having a different setup cheating?

          i rate chris corsano by the way, and hill. corsano's set up seems much much more restricted than all the other examples.

          RUINS impressed me too.

          (rapscalion not 82)

          Hannah82 @Alex_b | 24 Feb '07, 17:53 | X
          • also,

            has anyone heard anything on the hill/rodrigues-lopez album?

            rapscalion-jones @Hannah82 | 24 Feb '07, 17:55 | X
            • i'd expect NO GOOD to come of it

              alcxxk @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 17:56 | X
              • i'd expect

                AWESOME PROG ACENESS and lots of ARGUMENTS to come of it

                rapscalion-jones @alcxxk | 24 Feb '07, 17:57 | X
                • I love Hella

                  Zach Hill has to be seen to really get the full effect.
                  Ah the old Chippendale , Hill arguement eh, and of course don't forget Corsano.
                  Love em all, did anyone mention Hill taking one shoe off?

                  JungleKing @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:17 | X
          • corsano = legend

            that is all.

            -gen- @Hannah82 | 24 Feb '07, 18:51 | X
          • well, i dont mean cheating

            but you dont have to out-train certain habits of movement to learn how to play a kit like that. His kit also appears set up to allow easy rolling from one drum to the other. A perfectly sensible move, but it does mean that if you're going to make a chippendale/hill comparison you have to take it into account.

            Eric Craven From hangedup is my all time favourite, because he can make a drum kit sound like machinery. And that gets my vote.

    That guys just doing drum rolls and hitting the snare on the accents.

    Now this: The epitome of drumming. Watch the whole thing. amazing

      can't sit through ten minutes of that.

        • i watched it all

          i love the mars volta, but you're wrong. compared to hill and corsano (and chippendale) that drumming just isn't as varied, quick or inventive.

          rapscalion-jones @yes_ | 24 Feb '07, 18:32 | X
          • ^^

            this

            alcxxk @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:40 | X
          • granted, its not the best example

            jon theodore is unbeatable.
            Battles drummer is amazing too.

            yes_ @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:41 | X
            • theodore is great

              but i have friends who've studied the first two albums and can now play along accurately.
              i cant imagine anyone i know ever being able to do what hill does
              john stanier(sp?) is very good but i dont see why people get so excited about him. i mean, he plays live drum and bass well, and does some great polyrhythmic stuff

              i cant believe that this thread still gets replies when its been made so many times.

              i notice noones come up with any "omg keith moon" yet. i reckon thats more of a weekdaypeople thing to say

              alcxxk @yes_ | 24 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
              • Stanier is great because....

                of his playing in Helmet.

                Betty has the best drum sound ever. There's something just beautiful about his timing and feel on every track on that album.

                DeadJames @alcxxk | 24 Feb '07, 18:55 | X
    • no he isn't

      his stuff is more complex than that.

      it's by no means the most complex stuff about, but it's showy and people like a show

      TMV druumer is ace too though

      bottom @yes_ | 24 Feb '07, 19:47 | X
  • I don't know how to rate

    drumming, speed? diversity? a sound that appeals to me...and my semi-indie sensibilities?

    doubtful | 24 Feb '07, 18:28 | X
    • well i think

      its how the drumming compliments the music. this guy is kinda the equivelent of a guitarist doing wanky solos all the way through the song, it just kinda gets annoying although the guy is obviously technically gifted

      sharp_yet_blunt @doubtful | 24 Feb '07, 18:31 | X
      • no

        that guy is the eqivalent of swapping all the conventions around and carrying all the music with percussion rather than guitars.

        and wanky solis are ace.

        rapscalion-jones @sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 18:34 | X
        • no they're not

          The reason hella are good is because they're both doing wanky solos and it sounds really impressive.

          But it can get so boring even though it changes every 20 seconds.

          I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say he's the best drummer ever.

          millionaire @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:43 | X
          • they're both doing wanky solos

            but all the hella i've heard has focussed on hills drumming

            rapscalion-jones @millionaire | 24 Feb '07, 18:45 | X
            • They're both at pretty much the same tempo

              I don't think that means the focus is on the rhythm of the percussion. They're equal measures.

              millionaire @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:50 | X
              • by pretty much the same tempo I do of course mean exactly the same

                bluh

                millionaire @millionaire | 24 Feb '07, 18:51 | X
        • Nile

          Way metal I know, but how intense is this?

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41CVK6si-sE

          I love at the very end when he puts his sticks down like he HASN'T just been playing the fastest blast-beats ever for 6 minutes.

          Beats all this wimp-core being posted. ;-)

          DeadJames @rapscalion-jones | 24 Feb '07, 18:47 | X
          • If we're talking metal

            or even Nile for that matter, then Derek Roddy wins hands down. John Longstreth is also ridiculous.

            Everyone should watch this

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhQ-Bk7W8H0

            :D

            suedehead @DeadJames | 24 Feb '07, 19:19 | X
          • Get fast double kicks sorted

            and youre done with that mate. Soloing ont the hands aint hard, but getting kicks at the right time int the right place is the fucking killer.

            It makes the lower end of the sound lose all its potency, that does. Inneffectie, wasteful drumming- why be heavy ALL the time?

            Alex_b @DeadJames | 24 Feb '07, 22:45 | X
      • its not that at all

        if it was razorlight, and he played like that throughout, it wouldnt work.
        his playing is the basis of the music and the guitar slots into it perfectly

        alcxxk @sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 18:40 | X
        • tbh

          i couldnt judge from that clip really and i dont know that much about hella

          sharp_yet_blunt @alcxxk | 24 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
          • watch the whole clip

            if you haven't already done so.

            waterwings @sharp_yet_blunt | 24 Feb '07, 18:51 | X
    • Given that this is the most amazing drummer thread

      amazing = best drum wanking ever.

      So stuff like it appealing to you gans oot the window, like. Otherwise stuff like

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le3LU8va59w
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71cGLyOKhSc

      would win for me. Rock.

      mug_mug_mug @doubtful | 24 Feb '07, 19:13 | X
  • Um, may be completely wrong here...

    Not exactly my area of expertise.

    But doesn't the Hella drummer drum on the new Marnie Stern record?

    ...Anyone?

        i like it.

        thommo @waterwings | 24 Feb '07, 21:43 | X
    • i think that was his 'look'

      i saw him play with one stick clenched between his teeth, bashing away on the kit with the other which i think was his bad hand...

      thommo @Glen_Chap | 24 Feb '07, 21:44 | X
      • As I've said before.

        He is AWESOME. But he plays way too fast for the rest of the band to keep up!

        tom_from_sparks @thommo | 24 Feb '07, 22:47 | X
    • yeah

      totally unique. i don't know shit about drumming, but easily my favourite drummer.

      marke | 24 Feb '07, 19:40 | X
    • yeah he's good...

      there are a lot of drummers about playing this type of stuff.

      this guy is my kinda thing.

    • In tribute to Guthrie

      Here is an amazing singing drummer:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCtecNPQ2zw&mode=related&search=

      Charles Hayward innit, OK that track doesn't really show off his drumming ability but seeing as there is fuck all This Heat on youtube then make do with it as it's an awesome track.

      There is some solo stuff filmed by alcxxk here, sound is terrible though!

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UppqkgvjUbU

      tom_from_sparks | 24 Feb '07, 21:10 | X
      • the best drummer

        is Ben Koller.
        No need to post in the thread again

        TheKennedyCurse @tom_from_sparks | 24 Feb '07, 21:23 | X
        • he is quite underrated actually.

          i think 'no heroes' has his best drumming so far, really variated.

          Effloresce_Sean @TheKennedyCurse | 24 Feb '07, 21:27 | X
