Vin is the man.

Also, anything by Terry Bozzio, Simon Phillips, Greg Bissonette, John Robinson, Ralph Humphrey, Carlos Vega, Joel Taylor, Abraham Laboriel Jr., or Toss Panos is guaranteed to kill.

I like turning Happy Jack just to listen to Moon the Loon pound on the kit.

I LOVE Abe's playing! Oh man. He just flat out GROOVES. And he always looks like he's having more fun than everyone else there, which he probably is.

Yeah buddy!

I'm glad he's catching a higher profile w/ the McCartney gig.

I used to go see him play in little dives in L.A. like The Baked Potato (where the audience was usually comprised of, like, 60 M.I. students) and he (and his dad) always took no prisoners.

If the search option here wasn't messed up, I could bring back at least five previous threads dealing with this same topic.

In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Does that date me

The same could probably be said about almost any topic on the OM.

BTW, what's wrong with the search option?

All I get is a blank page when I try it.

Yeah, that happens to me sometimes too - usually when I include too many words in a string. It doesn't seem to be able to deal with more than a couple terms at a time, for some reason.

Yes it does, and me too, but this song was the first that I really started to notice the drums.

John Bonham's(RIP) drumming in Kasmir is some of the best. Can't forget Keith Moon (RIP) either, but I can't think of any one song that stands out, he is good in everything.

Oh man, I would have loved to see him and his Dad kick ass together. I can't imagine how tight that was.

Laboriel has been slowly becoming a bigger name over the past few years. I remember reading about him in Modern Drummer 3 years ago or so. I believe he was touring with Sting at the time.

I can't believe we got this far without someone mentioning this song.

Too many favorite solos to list, but I found this cool link so you can see him in action.

After sitting on this for an evening and, not coincidentally, tossing in a Who CD as I cooked dinner, my top prize goes to Keith Moon. Dude was just 'off' enough to make him special.

Boobs McGee · 03-28-2006, 08:57 AM

BTW, www.drummerworld.com is a pretty comprehensive site. Tons of pics and videos and soundclips from the best AND the rest.

One of Mike's setups

If you think Portnoy's set-up is impressive, you really need to check out Terry Bozzio's. Two words: chromatic toms. Sadly, I can't find the picture that was in Modern Drummer a few months ago, but this one is close to it:

GREAT CALL! It's not a "solo", but the drum & bass thing he does around the 3:30 mark is unbelievable.

Boobs McGee · 03-28-2006, 09:39 AM

WOW - that is QUITE the setup

Rush - YYZ - Drum Solo by Neil Peart
Absolutely the BEST... Number 1 solo ever.

Carl Palmer at CalJam - I think it was Toccata
A close second. Carl was just Awesome.

I keep seeing this brought up (and deservedly so), so you guys should check out the new DVD Peart came out with "Anatomy Of A Dum Solo". It breaks down his solo from the tour that gave us "Rush In Rio" ("O Baterista" was the solo's title). Pretty good stuff.

alkemical · 03-28-2006, 11:54 AM

In no particular order:

clyde the funky drummer

?uestlove

Buddy Rich

Dave Weckl

Tito Puente

Neil Pert

Bonham

Danny Carey

Vinny Paul

Jimmy Bower (one of my personal fav's)

Matt Cameron

Sean Kinney

Dave Grohl

Billy Ward

Ginger Baker

Keith Moon

just to name the ones on the tip of my head... I love the drum work on lots of jazz cd's but since most of mine are... the maxell version

i don't always have song names or liner notes.

alkemical · 03-28-2006, 11:58 AM

The drummer for the doors, Mo from the velvet underground, the drummer for the clash, man i could go on and on for those who influenced me.

And yes, i actually love ringo's style.

anthonypacino · 03-28-2006, 12:16 PM

Am I the only one that thinks Jimmy Chamberlin is one of the best?
