Who do you think is the best drummer in a band???

Daniel Lijekvist of Katatonia is my personal fav.

He is the perfect drummer. He can play like a madman but he also knows to hold back in order to accent the band, which is exactly what a drummer should be.

Other favs:

Dave Ghrol-Nirvana, Queens of the Stoneage, Foo Fighters (Great vid featuring great musicians)

Nick Menza-Megadeth (This performance of his is absolutely sick. Totally amps up the song to a new level)

Jason Costa-All That Remains (He does a great impression of a machine gun using drums. His ****fits the band well)

Andhols Herrick-Chimaira (Another gunner who accents the band well)

Chris Pennie-The Dillinger Escape Plan (Everyone of these guys involved with the Miss Machine CD is insanely talented)

Dave McClain-Machine Head (This band is underrated as a whole)

Meg White-The White Stripes (She does so much by knowing WHEN to play)

Brian Vigilone-The Dresden Dolls (This vid speaks for itself)

[QUOTE="Yagami-Iori"]Travis Barker... he may not work with the best artist, but his skills are nutsKid-Icarus-

Well, Travis lacks technique. He just trys to play fast and informal. Just banging away. No one cares who the hell he drummed for. They just dont like how he plays and how he puts out music. He's overrated.

I'm not sure if he uses them or not, but most of the time you hear that kind of sound from drums, its usually triggers, the drumming equivalent of hacking in videogames.

You make it sound like he's just randomly hitting drums, which he's obviously not. The speed of his drum work is amazing and stans on it's own rather well. And from the lack of pros here & a lot of places, I'd have to disagree with the overrated comment whole-heartedly. And as the last guy said, he does get screwed for his band choices.

Also I notice jazz isn't getting much love ... Buddy Rich anyone??!Kid-Icarus-

I was going to mention him before, great drummer.

Everyone uses double base these days. It's so overused it's sad.

um, no? It'll be overused when bands like Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 start using it, which won't happen. Double bass >>>>>>> Single. As for All that Remain's drummer, if its really really unbelieveably fast, its probly triggers.

Heres a vid that shows him playing the fast part of the song.

He has a pretty interesting tecnique going on....

I'm not trying to flame or anything, but thats a music video. Have you or the other guy seen them live? The telling signs would be when the band is setting up and when they play, you can usually tell if a drummer is using triggers or the real deal.

Can't say I have seen them live, but at least that vid shows he can play.
