Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted January 22, 2005 Is Buddy Rich the Danzig of jazz? Buddy Rich wouldn't get knocked the fuck out. Buddy Rich is arguably the greatest (jazz) drummer of all-time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Banky, I'm surprised that you agreed with me on Menza not being mentioned. As for Nicko. He's not the best, though he's not horrible. I'll agree Clive was better, and it shows when Nicko can hardly keep up to most of his stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Oh. Pshyeah right. In the spirit of big band, I recommend everyone a song called "Strawberry Soup" by the Don Ellis Orchestra. It's hard to find. If you cannot, hit me up on AIM and I will send its greatness to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Dude, top 100 drummers without my favorite drummer of all time, Jaki Liezbiet of Can? That's it, Rolling Stone sucks. Well, that's a given, so....Top 100 lists suck...wait, thats also a given... (though I mostly enjoyed Pitchforks best 100 albums of the 70s, even though I normally hate Pitchfork media) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 They mentioned metal drummers, and the lack of Nick Menza on this list is quite surprising. He actually isn't that great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 While I think he's a jackass as a person and a performer, I think that Fishman was robbed by being as low as 96. Trained in classic jazz but can play a variety of genres reasonably well - if not better than that. And, after the nauseating "what makes a drummer" debate, where was Avril?

Guest Kimaster1976 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Mitch Mitchell (The Jimi Hendrix Experience should be top 5) Kenny Jones (The Small Faces / The Faces) should not only be on the list somewhere but should be top 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Yeah, that's slightly annoying that they mentioned some metal drummers, but no nods to the jazzed up death mutant-machines like Flo Mounier or Derek Roddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonic Reducer 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 Ringo Starr is not a better drummer than Dave Grohl. He couldn't play No One Knows or Aneurysm the way Dave did if his life depended on it. However, Dave could play any Beatles song. Anyone can play any Beatles song. Christ. What the fuck kind of list is this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic Reducer 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2005 Jon Theodore's on the list, that's nice. He's too low though. Where the fuck is Buddy Rich? He's better than half of that list using just two limbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonic Reducer 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2005 Anyone can play any Beatles song. Christ. Shit. Go away and come back when you know something. Okay. Give me a Beatles song to drum. I'll learn it (should I not know it already), go record it, and send it to you. Ringo was the perfect drummer for a band like the Beatles. Skill-wise however, he was pretty much an average drummer. His song "I'm the Greatest", however, is a hell of a song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
