Wala akong masyadong kilalang drummer.  Drummer ng Slipknot.  Meron yung video niyang halos magdrums siyang patiwarik (concert.  yung stage mismoang umangat.  nakastrap siya sa upuan niya gamit 5-point harness na pang car-racing).  Subukan nyong i-Limewire.  Doon ko nakuha, e.  la lang.

[toybitz]

ako si Vinnie Colauita, sobrang drum whore na ito, pati Megadeth (trash metal) pinatulan!  He played/plays for Sting, Chick Corea, Karizma, Helen Hofner, Frank Zappa, David Benoit, Ron Kenolly (Gospel), Chaka Khan, John Patitucci, Randy Waldman, and countless others...basta't kapag may record kayo ng solo artist, tignan niyo na lang yun listahan ng drummer niya, malamang kasama siya.  Inodolo rin siya ni Jeff Porcaro.

Yun mga tinitingala naman ni Vinnie ay sina Steve Gadd at Buddy Rich at Tony Williams...

Labs ko rin si Steve Smith at Dennis Chambers.

Yun nagbigay naman sa akin ng inspirasyon na masaya pumalo ay sina Dave Abbruzesse (Pearl Jam, Green Romance Orchestra), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden), Tim Alexander (Primus - tingin ko siya yun "Father" ng syncopadong double bass na na-associate kay Herrera ng Fear Factory...listen to Primus' Sailing The Seas of Cheese at Pork Soda...wala pang FF nun, Laundry), Pat Torpey ng Mr. Big, Chad Smith at ang walang kamatayang JOHN BONHAM.

Kun pabilisan ng paa, si Donati...gusto ng tumayo nun bass drum niya sa bilis ng paa niya...kun kamay, yun kaibigan niyang si Mike Mangini naman(Steve Vai, Extreme, Tribe of Judah)...na sa Guiness siya dahil sa single strokes.

Sa local si JV Torres ng Color It Red at Ethnic Faces, siyempre si Bagets, gustong gusto ko trabaho ni Harley sa Breed at Rizal U...si Koko Bermejo...Zach Lucero ng Imago and Cynthia A...J-hoon Balbuena (Kapatid, Kwjan)

Si Vic gusto ko palo niya sa recording pero live hindi...ganun din si Wendell (pro lupit na lupit ako sa kanila!).

Napansin ko lang, opinyon ko lang mga Ser...dito sa Pinas, mabilis ang pasikat ng mga "busy" style drumming kaysa sa "swak" na drumming...

[cs_mapper]

madali kasing ma-appreciate ang mga technical/chop oriented drummers vs dun sa mga mabibigat na groove masters.

well, in my experience just play the rosanna beat againts ah death metal/fusion drummer and most of the time they will shut up for good.

[toybitz]

bagay pala yun mapper? try ko din magrossana sa hoochie coochie...

[whirpool]

neil p. of Rush and mike portnoy

[gameboysmile]

Ringo Starr= hes not into speed drumming. i like him coz hes drumming has emotions put into it. and besides any drummer who can takes up the challenge and play for TWO of the greatest songwriters (ofcourse its JOHN LENNON AND PAUL McCARTNEY )in rock history is definitely good.

[jake0413]

for me lahat sila magaling different styles nga lang!! pero sa akin ang gusto ko  si Thomas lang malupit talaga!!!

[screamingdemon2005]

Para sa kin kahit sinong drummer, basta marunong maki-jive sa groove ng bahista niya ok siya.

[YJMCowboy]

I guess kung pure virtuosity on drums, isa lang yan.

Buddy Rich.

Why? Kasi if you ask the top guns, Weckl, Donati, Bozzio,
anybody, even the one's who have stretched the boundaries of drumming to the limit. Kung tayo tatanungin sila Weckl, Chambers, Donati, bozzio etc. Pero pag sila tinanong mo, sasabihin nila si Buddy Rich.
Sabi din sa 25th anniversary ng Modern drummer, Buddy rich is the greatest drummer who ever lived as voted by the readers.

Eh kahit manood ka nalang ng video ng drum solos. Meron akong dvd ni Virgil Donati, drum solo for Ring of Fire band, and yun drum solo nya sa Steve Vai in Astoria. When I first saw it i said , ultimate ito. It's unreal!
Pero i saw a Video of buddy rich doing a drum solo in the 70's, gamit nya yun maliit na four piece nya. P#ta, yon ang impossible talaga. Kahit sabihin mong dobol bass si Virgil, eh P*cha si buddy isang paa lang gamit kayang patayin si Virgil Donati, baka manginig pa yun Australian sa takot.
Parang mabagal pa si Virgil pag ikumpara mo kay Buddy.
Yun mga rolls ni Buddy, sobra. Parang impossible gawin. Then i tried watching the virgil solos again, and they seemed boring, biglang nawalan ng dating.  Tingin ko kahit dalawang kamay lang kayang patayin ni Buddy Rich kahit sinong drummer, ke dobol bass yun o hindi. Kahit snare drum lang gamit niya.

[YJMCowboy]

I guess that was the final word on the greatest........

[bugoy_king]

Vinnie Colaiuta.

This guy can do it all. He plays every style of music, great chops, great time, great groove and feel for music, etc.

Buddy Rich may have the fastest hands and one of the best techniques of all time, but I've never heard him play anything other than jazz-style (bebop, swing, etc.). Vinnie Colaiuta played everything, including heavy metal, prog rock (Frank Zappa), jazz, big band, etc.

Kung galing lang sa instrumento mismo, walang tatalo kay Buddy Rich.

[YJMCowboy]

Well I'm pretty sure if you ask Vinnie he'd say Buddy....

I think Buddy chose not to play what "modern" drummers
are playing. I don't think he tried to learn to play  "modern" either.
Can't really blame him, his style is part of a certain era.
But IF, IF, IF he chose to, I think he would have been a monster
modern drummer as well, more so if he happened to be born in another era and had the same talent and drive he had.

Also depends on what your definition of greatest is.
If it's the greatest session drummer, Vinnie might
have a fight with Gadd, but Gadd kills him I believe.

My definition is sheer virtuosity. I've seen a long clip
of vinnie soloing, as an avid drum solo fan, I wasn't that
impressed really. I think Dave Weckl has a higher level of skill than Vinnie.

This is all debatable you know. It's just my opinion
as an avid drum fan.

Vinnie is part of that best list for sure but FAR from being the greatest,
I'm sure.

[bugoy_king]

If you ask any drummer, they would say Buddy. Heck, ask any pro musician who the best is in his/her instrument and they would probably say Buddy. He was a real virtuoso in his own instrument, really mastered it like no other (I agree with you here).

I think it's Vinnie because he tried out every style out there, and to me that means a lot. Gadd was the pioneer and was also one of Vinnie's influences. However, I haven't seen Gadd do heavy metal (like Megadeth), nor do a lot of polyrhythms and odd time signatures.

With regard to Weckl, I would have to disagree with you. Weckl is really good, he's like a drum machine, however his solos are more technical rather than musical. Vinnie is really deep when it comes to solos, even including a lot of metric modulation in them.

[YJMCowboy]

What you've said made perfect sense dude.
You're right.

Regarding Weckl, yes some people do consider him to be a
machine of sorts. I do however enjoy technicality a lot.
That's the only reason i placed him above Vinnie in my book.
It's his technical precision that attracts me as a listener.
As I said it's debatable. Actually Vinnie placed higher than Dave in that 25th nniversary MD issu. He was 9th and Dave was 13 or 14.
So more people might agree with your opinion.

For those reading ,Vinnie Actually was said to have played
the "Black Page", one of Frank Zappa's hardest pieces
with lots of difficult drumming, during his audition for frank,
used Bozzio's Double bass drum kit and passed the audition.

Vinnie's a GREAT drummer!



Peace dude.

[bugoy_king]

Haha, yes he was first known in the late 70's for his work with Zappa.

There's a story that he was reading sheet music from Zappa in 21/16 time signature while playing with one hand because on the other hand was a pair of chopsticks. He was eating sushi while playing the piece!

[nante]

dave weckel kaya???

 ayos b yun???

[legnacilyz]

Buddy Rich!!! the greatest drummer nga daw na nabuhay dito sa balat ng lupa!!!

may nagsabi na wag kalimutan si Jean crupa... korek ko lng po.. Gene Krupa po.. peace po tayo!!! ^_^

The fact na mas naunang mag drums si Gene krupa kaysa kay Buddy rich... naging inspiration ni buddy rich si Gene krupa ata kundi ako ngkakamali.. (correct me rin if im wrong! ^_^)

si Gene Krupa nga ba nag improve ng use ng hi hats na i-elevate un to body level pra mkapag ostinato ka using it??? dati kasi daw, history ng hi-hats is foot level lng used as pang-"chick" lng.. (ooops! off topic!)

naka show down din ni Buddy rich si gene krupa eh... May nkita kc akong pic thru internet.. black and white pa(xmpre).. tatlo nga sila eh... ksama nila si Mel Torme.. (not so famous ata si Mel..)

2nd to me is Akira Jimbo!!! Grabeh!!! One man band with the use of triggering devices attached at different parts of his kit!!! hirap ng ginagawa niya...

Sa Pinoy drummers nman, si Mr. Haley Alarcon ng P.O.T.!!! galing mgdala ng groove!!! and for over-all si Mr. Jun Regalado and Mr. Koko Bermejo!!!
