Favorite Modern Day Drummer

[THE_T0XICITY]

Pick and explain your reasoning.

And I just had to take off Travis Barker because he's terrible compared to others.

I like Brann Dailor of Mastodon right now.

"Who is your favorite drummer listed here?" isn't "Favorite Modern Day Drummer"
forgot to include that haha my bad.

Works for me. Bag this thread up.

[EdHaag]

My pick is Terry Bozzio, but as he's not listed, I'll go with Bonzo.

[a21schizoidman]

how are Peart and Bonham "modern"?

[WhiteManJohnson]

Yeah, Bonham has been dead for quite some time.

[Onslaught_fei]

how are Peart and Bonham "modern"?

Well Bonham only died 30 years ago. Still very modern if you consider Ancient ****ing Greece.

i guess that must be what the title meant!

He's a better drummer than Lars Ulrich.

Niel Peart is the greatest drummer ever to be around in my opinion. I have seen him live and wow, even at his old age, he can drum just as good as he could in the 80's.

I think this is the kind of rush fan that Ultimatum was talking about.

[Squaretriangles]

A modern day drummer-er*, mean, mean stride/

Today's John Bonham, mean, mean pride/

DUH DUH, DUH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DUH DUH, DUH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DUH DUH, DUH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DUH DUH, DUH DAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Since Peart isn't really all that modern, I'm gonna go with Mike Portnoy, (who still really isn't all that modern, but eh.)

Opinions are fun.

we have a whole thread for that


"hAVe u HErd nieL PErT? HE Iz liEK Gud!!!!!"

[Onslaught_fei]

I like this guy a lot. Just the latin jazz grooves and rhythms he brought to the table are some of the ones Ive enjoyed the most. Just proves you dont have to play fast to make insane music.

[zeldazeppelin]

Brann Dailor. Since you included non modern drummers in your list

[afterstasis]

brian chippendale.

[ArmsAreLoud]

If Bonham counts, then Buddy Rich does, too.

[instantdeath999]

Neil Peart is modern now?

Neil has a pretty different style than most of the ones you listed, honestly.

QUOTE=WingsOfSteel;2177730]He's a better drummer than Lars Ulrich.[/QUOTE]

Travis is even more generic than Lars. And Lars may be pretty meh now, though he wasn't bad when they began.

[Onslaught_fei]

He really is. Hes more of a percussionist than a pure rock drummer. Also, his ability to levitate and bend matter at will would put him in the realm of a wizard as well.

[RoadHog]

My favorite drummer on your list is Peart. As far as "modern" drummer on the list i'd go with Larkin.

[My name is Fez]

Bonham, Peart and Ulrich are about as non-modern as you can get. I know everyone else said that. But wtf were you thinking?

My favorite drummer on the list that's actually modern is Dailor.

[Cubecubed]

Chris Pennie from Dillinger Escape Plan and Coheed and Cambria.

[Fizzeler]

You have Bonham and Peart, but not Copeland or Palmer?

Also, no Portney

Anyway I go with Palmer after all he is still making music (released an album with Asia last year) so he is still technically modern :D

[Bub]

how are Peart and Bonham "modern"?

You beat me to it.

[Cpt. Overkill]

Oh yeah... I forgot to post.

Brann Dailor. He is my favorite drummer, pretty much.

[Insane3]

Well Bonham only died 30 years ago. Still very modern if you consider Ancient ****ing Greece.

I thought Ancient ****ing Greece was modern.

[MronoC]

I thought Ancient ****ing Greece was modern.

Yes, modern is anything that is included in written history, of course this topic of discussion is totally irrelevant, the best drummers were all cavemen.

[My name is Fez]

Well, the results prove it

Brann Dailor > Neil Peart

Even his name is better.

[Soror_YZBL]

I voted for Lars Ulrich, cuz he's just so adorable. I'd keep him in my pocket and pat him on the head whenever I felt sad.

[SteelersFreak1]

Considering half of them aren't modern drummers I'll say Nathan Followill of Kings Of Leon.

[My name is Fez]

I voted for Lars Ulrich, cuz he's just so adorable. I'd keep him in my pocket and pat him on the head whenever I felt sad.

That made me laugh.

[supernova1324]

I heard that if you rub his head you get three wishes.

i've heard that your hand turns black and falls off

[Rockbandfan23467]

I voted for Fred Savage, cuz he's just so adorable. I'd keep him in my pocket and pat him on the head whenever I felt sad.
Fixed.
