LU Rockstar: Drummer

[nöyd]

The nominations have closed, the following 8 guys will now be voted on to see who is the best of the best according to LU members.

You only have 1 vote, use it wisely.

 

[Bomber]

Are we just doing one poll at a time?

 

[Hallatia]

my top choice was not on the list, but it seems every one on the list has a vote

 

[HevyDevy]

That list is embarrassing.

Some of them are not only NOT among the best, they're not even good.

 

[FunkyMonk]

That list is embarrassing.

such as?

 

[HevyDevy]

Dave Grohl and Lars for a start.

Grohl is obvious - he's just not anything special at all.

Lars - I love early Metallica but it's certainly not because of Lars. He's okay but he doesn't do anything stunning. More recently he has degenerated into being quite bad.

The best on that list are Lombardo and Danny Carey who are both brilliant and of course Bonham.

But even then they're not Vinnie Colauita or Dave Weckl or Carter Beauford or Dennis Chambers etc

 

[madunit]

I must admit seeing Dave Grohl ahead of someone much more talented like Roger Taylor is a bit of a shocker.

Hows about two drummers poll's?

 

[julian87]

Dave Grohl.

 

[LESStar58]

Carey

 

[Marshall_magic]

Lars

Vinnie Calouta should be the list, no one here is in his league
I have always been a fan of Bonham though, Lars is not the best, but I love Metallica and want to be him

 

[Pistol]

gotta be Ginger Baker

Locky, I often disagree with you but in this case I agree 100%.

Nobody on this list is even close to being in Vinnie's league. They simply cannot play what he plays.

But yes, Bonham was a pioneer and Lars, although being quite an ordinary drummer, did some half decent stuff in the early Metallica days.

The less said about St Anger the better.

 

[Hallatia]

I love drums and drumming

and this list does not the art justice

 

[nöyd]

this list does not the art justice

That's the list comprising of who was nominated the most by members, if anything it's simply an indication of the age of said members, as well as their taste in music.

Nobody has to agree with it, all that is asked of you is to vote for who is listed, not moan about who is not.

 

[Hallatia]

apologies, I voted for Bonham

 

[hineyrulz]

Moon the Loon for me.

 

[FunkyMonk]

Chad Smith and Joey Jordison should be on that list

 

[HevyDevy]

No they shouldn't.

Seriously Funky, as far as drummers go there are an elite group that very clearly stand above the rest and no, Chad and Joey don't belong on it.

Joey at least has some speed but that means nothing. Hellhammer wipes his arse with speed anyway.

And Vinnie Colauita wipes everyone else anyway.

Now, the list could very easily be 10 jazz drummers but just to be fair and incorporate all genres, here's what the list should be:

Vinnie Colauita
Carter Beauford
Mike Portnoy
Terry Bozzio
Danny Carey
Dennis Chambers
Dave Weckl
Hellhammer
Dave Lombardo
Chad Wackerman
Stewart Copeland
John Bonham
Manu Katche
Gene Hoglan

etc, etc

There are so many more that should be there but I don't want to get too abstract with them.
