Best Drummers

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Do grown men need an excuse for that?

Aren't you making an assumption there that may turn out to be a little rash? :innocent:

Off at a tangent but back on topic, when my eight year old saw this as he walked by he said 'Daddy, 'drummers' ...tell Heartland I like the Bernard Matthews turkey ones ...'

Out of the mouths of babes and children. :wink:
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

Drum solos I have enjoyed:
#1 Kingdom Come, supporting the dreadful Magnum, Glasgow Barrowlands, sometime in the 80s. I only went because I thought their first album was brilliant (remember, it had been a long time since we had heard any serious Zeppelinish sounds), Magnum to me were a 'pie & beans' circuit type of band, i.e. on every second month at t'workenmens cloob, 'appen.
A mate forced me to stay for Magnum, I lasted all of.... oh, 69 seconds.

Drum solos I have enjoyed:
#2

there were no more :(

Can't decide between Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus|Tones On Tail|Love And Rockets), John Lever (Chams et al), 'Big' Paul Ferguson (Killing Joke|Pigface etc), Martin Atkins (PiL|Ministry|Lard|Pigface etc etc) or Neil Simms (Catherine Wheel) so I'm cheating and having them all.

Common denominator? Well.... I'm a drummer meself and I always used to spend a lot of time at gigs watching the drummers (present company excepted; stared at the strobes instead :) ) trying to pick up tips and figure out patterens. All the above managed to drum "as if they were trying to knock their kits into a more interesting shape" whilst maintaing an aura of boredom exemplified by Mr Charlie Watts. The "Have I left the gas on?" expression of the uber-sticksman.

Chris 'Podboy' Vrenna is a bloody good drummer as well, but not quite in this league.

I watch drummers too....but for completely DIFFERENT reasons.... ;)
