Favorite Modern Day Drummer

[supernova1324]

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.

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.)



*I needed three syllables, bite me.

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.

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

[afterstasis]

brian chippendale.

If Bonham counts, then Buddy Rich does, too.

Neil Peart is modern now?

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

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