Sorry, but metal doesn't count. It BLOWS!
Yeah, it does.
If you know anything about real drumming...no it doesn't. Take it from a former percussion major.
Nah dude, pants14 said it blows. He must be right.He is right, that's what I just said. I was responding to you.
I know. Metal is horrible.
That's openminded and informed of you :| All I'm saying is that metal is completely stiff and lacking in feel and groove. It takes alot of skill, that I realize. But it lacks emotion and that all-important groove.
What about Bill Ward of Black Sabbath, or Dave Lombardo of Slayer? What about Vinnie Appice? Heck, even Joey Jordison makes Slipknot somewhat bearable. Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Vinnie Paul, Lars Ulrich, the guy from Mastodon, et.
I'm not saying metal has to be liked by everyone, but, yes, metal drummers do count, because there are PLENTY of good ones.Woah, buddy...Mike Portnoy and especially Danny Carey are not metal drummers at all. They are progressive rock, which is way different. The things Danny plays, a lot of the other drummers you just mentioned wouldn't even be able to understand. There is so much theory behind the complex patterns and overlays that he write. Unfortunately, people like him don't get enough credit, because most "musicians" these days are completely ignorant to the technical aspects of playing.
By the way...Danny has a background playing jazz and African percussion.
You should know better than me that both Tool and Dream Theater belong in the category of "progressive metal."Tool is certainly not metal...maybe their earlier stuff to an extent, but there has been no resemblance of that since Lateralus, and Aenema too really. It was their first album which got them labeled as "metal" by some people. I can see how you would say Dream Theatre is something close to metal, but that's still a stretch. I'd prefer to throw the labels aside and just call them both progressive, because I think that's what counts.
