I remember this episode ... for real ... but remember it in English.

Cord, I also remember Dave Lombardo of Slayer and even have an album of theirs.

I always remember Bune E. Carlos of Cheap Trick when I was younger where his seat busted and he finished the show standing up.

Believe it or not, I actual even went to a Platinum Blonde concert when I was 14 or 15 that I really enjoyed and the drummer was pretty good. Can't remember the song but he cranked it out and had the sticks spinning in his hands and in the air plus had water or something on the drums that sparkled in the light ... frickin' cool at that age.

I also enjoyed Alex Van Halen and seen him twice, once with David Lee Roth in 1984 and once with Sammy Hagar in 1995. However the hilight was always Eddie Van Halen and his guitar solos ... but that is another thread for another time.

this may not be a solo, but it is me playing the drums in my band.

Def Leppard ... probably my all time favorite group. Rick Allan is great and has accomplished a lot and the band never gave up on them.

couple more phenominal drummers:

Stewart Copeland (the police)

the drummer from 'Yes' and 'Toto' (forgot their names).

All good groups with good drummers. Grew up on The Police, Yes and Toto. Toto was a really good band but started to get softer as the years went on. After their release of Toto IV in 1982 (love this album), things went soft but they still were okay. They did not have the attention grabbing music like earlier with "Hold the Line" (awesome song), and stuff line "Rosanna" and "Africa". And as far as Yes ... I spent countless hours listening over and over to their hit song "Owner of a Lonely Heart" from their 1983 album 90125. I recently purchased their best hits album.

Hey Matt, why isnt this thread about the truly important person in the band? You know, the lead vocalist?

*spits out water he was drinking*

Them's fighting words, pardner.

How's about drummers that sing? Don Henley, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter, Levon Helms.....

No, no. Go ahead and start your new, vile thread.

INTERLOPER!!!!!!!

PS - RazorFoot was the lead singer for several of the bands I have played drums for. So, you see how wrong he is.

We all know that the drums are the back bone of any band. They work the hardest (loading and unloading all that equipment), they are the most technical (incredible rhythms), and they get all the recognition...well...they...umm...well they do work the hardest. Did I mention that?

Drummers and singers are in no way as important as the Bass player. we have responsibility for rythm and melody at the same time. we are ther adhesive that holds a band together.

Drummers are people who hang out with musicians, and vocalists are interchangeable (how many bands manage to carry on with a new vocalist?- even Queen sell out stadiums with that guy from Free, he is no freddie Mercury, but as long as the words go in the right order, people dont seem to care)

Bass player wins as a multi tasking heart and soul of any band

Also, Chad Sexton of 311 is a good mix or rock and reggae drumming. He has good wrists. Yeah, I know that was a weird compliment.

Hey Razor......did you hear something? Me neither.

Can't hear a thing. The vocals and drum solo are drowning out all the other unnecessary people in the band.

Ahh, thats why the crowd is heading to the bar.

Cool stuff, Chang! I like all the rhythm changes, and a nice tom roll in there.
