Your drummer just leaves and you have the choice

[jeffrey]

Danna Carrey. I dont think I spelled that right, but itll sound right.

Danny Carey.

For me it would depend on style:

Funk/Jam : Billy Martin (Medeski, Martin and Wood)
Fusion/Jazz : Akira Jimbo
Groove-based Metal : Kenneth Schalk (Candiria)
Technical/Exteme Metal : Chris Adler (Lamb of God)
Crazy/Indie/Rock (ie: Primus type stuff) : Zach Hill (Hella) or Tim Alexander (Primus).

 

[Dodgeball]

Ian Mosley, Terry Bozzio or Jerry Gaskil

 

[slukather]

There are so many drummer to choose from.

Jerry Gaskill,
Neil Peart,
Jeff Porcaro,
Simon Phillips.

Scott.

 

[Eilif]

Yikes! What a question. It so depends on what kind of music the band is playing, etc. etc.

So you go with a favorite (one of many!) and hope for the best.




Steve Smith

I was close.

Simon Phillips or Abe Laboriel Jr---oh and Shawn Pelton from Saturday Night Live--did a tour as his drum tech many moons ago---an absolute freakin monster player. I played a few fun gigs with him and a guitar player called PK Lavengood(who plays most of the time with John Eddie from NJ) in a little dive in Asbury Park. It was called PK's Band Without Fear. A rotating cast of guys would show up for the gig and we would play whatever the audience yelled out--whether we knew it or not----man was that fun!!!!!!!!!

 

[kbaim]

This won't be a popular answer, but I have a twin brother who drums and I wouldn't want to play with anybody else. His influences are basically all of the aforementioned, but with a connection that we were born with. Lucky me!

I think this is one great answer. And Calvin and Hobbs celebrating to boot!

 

[SteveB]

Ian Mosley for President!!!! (Sorry, that's an inside joke for Marillion fans )

Geezabun...

 

[lumberjack]

Ohh! That's a tough one Spud. I think if I had to choose it would be....
In the following order:

Neil Peart
John Bonham
Keith Moon
Mike Portnoy
Vinnie Paul (Pantera, Damageplan)
Joey Jordison (Slipknot). This probably surprises a lot of people and Slipknot aren't my favorite band, but he is amazing LIVE!!!

 

[edensdad]

Hell of a choice. You must know some people

Mine would be Portnoy.

Directly followed by Andy, my drummer for about 10 years - amazing player. Really intricate like Portnoy. I wonder where he is . . .

I also like Bonham, Peart, Nicko McBrain from Maiden and Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews.

 

[jongitarz]

Peter Erskine

 

[jeffrey]

Peter Erskine

I just watched Diana Krall's new DVD "Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival" and she picked up Erskine as her drummer.

I really enjoyed watching him play.

 

[Eilif]

It's hard to choose just one, but I'd go with Steve Smith.

I'd consider bringing Jeff Porcaro back from the dead, but that might be a bit spooky.

So who's your favourite Eilif?

 

[shamus63]

Peter Erskine

Weather Report fan, eh Jon?

 

[DaveB]

Just got back from seeing Tool at Hammersmith in London.

I'm changing my answer to Danny Carrey.

A-MAZING

Dave

 

[jongitarz]

Weather Report fan, eh Jon?

Big time

 

[koogie2k]

Danna Carrey. I dont think I spelled that right, but itll sound right.
