| Message Board > Music Chitchat - Heavy > Most versatile Drummers of all time ? |
| Ismail User Info... | Who do you think are the most versatile drummers of all time. People always mention drummers like: Jimmy Chamberlain, Dave Grohl, Vinnie Paul, Noel Redding, John Bonham, Stephen Perkins, Matt Cameron, Dave Lambardo, David Lovering, Neil Peart, The Pearl Jam Drummers....and a long list of other well known skin smackers. What do you folks think? - Tue, 11 May 2004 5:53pm | ||

| Japanese Air Force User Info... | Vinnie Coliuta would be the most versitile drummer to come to mind. He played with Frank Zappa back in the day, did his stint with Sting's band and is now on the new Megadeth album. Not to mention all the other stuff he's done over the years. ~JAF - Tue, 11 May 2004 7:39pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | All of FZ's drummers had to be pretty versatile eh? Jesus, the things he would make them do, in all possible genres (oft-times within the same composition). It was the Frank Zappa consideration which stopped me from being able to reply to this discussion initially. For pure funkiness (implied versatility), my vote goes to Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters). - Tue, 11 May 2004 7:44pm | ||

| ROSS B AY User Info... | Charlie Benante and Igor Cavalera. - Wed, 12 May 2004 8:26am | ||
| MethodAir User Info... | Vinnie Colaiuta hands down. -Jazz with Chick Corea -fusion with Alan Holdsworth and Mike Stern -country with Faith Hill -pop with Sting -countless movie soundtracks -metal with Megadeth... He's an incredible sight reader apparantly, throw the most complex chart his way and he burns it first take. - Wed, 12 May 2004 8:54am | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Mark Brzezicki: was in Big Country, and you will find his name on billions of other artists albums from heavy rock to folk Brian Blade: the guy who played with Lanois last year on tour. - Wed, 12 May 2004 9:02am | ||

| Pierce User Info... | Speaking of David Grohl. I managed to muster up enough curage to listen to "Queens of the stone age". The album with Davey boy on drums. Yup, my memory served me correct. That album fucking chews. The WORST album, hands down i have ever purchased ( i dont download music ). Fuck, it sucked, who else is with me? Listen to Davey boys drums on that album..it is "Weak at best" AND...... NEW MEGADETH ALBUM?????? WTF! No one advertises? - Wed, 12 May 2004 12:01pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | A no-brainer. My vote goes to Bill Bruford who can play anything from hard rock to real honest to God jazz with all the technique you could ever want and impeccable taste. - Wed, 12 May 2004 12:23pm | ||
| dAnny-P User Info... | travis barker is all the way one of the most versitile drummers of this day and age !! with love, dAnny-P - Wed, 12 May 2004 1:20pm | ||
| Hendrix User Info... | My favourites are Travis Barker, Lars Ulrich, and Phil Collins. Collins especially, because last time I was in Britain I saw him play at the Royal Garden Concert. For four hours he played with people like Paul McArtney, Ozzy, and some Spice Girl. Real talent! Plus he's a leftie. - Wed, 12 May 2004 2:07pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Andy Dick. - Wed, 12 May 2004 3:48pm | ||
| Troutbreath User Info... | How about the drummer with Paul Schaffer and the Late Show Orchestra, Anton Figg? He plays with more people in a week than most people do in a year. - Wed, 12 May 2004 7:32pm | ||
| Neil User Info... | Yup, Bill Bruford or Vinnie Colaiuta. - Thu, 13 May 2004 12:31am | ||
| Fred the Dragon User Info... | Steve "Smitty" Smith... one of the best ever. - Thu, 13 May 2004 3:02am | ||
| ticklefish User Info... | Bruford.... why didn't I think of that? - Thu, 13 May 2004 4:05am | ||
| Grain Fed User Info... | I like the Wright brother that isn't Mr. Wrong. Withtin a single at a NoMeansNo set you can hear immense versitilaty and he plays jazz style! And to the guy upstairs..... I personally think that Songs for the Deaf is one of the better albums I've purchased ever and I'd say Dave Grohl is deffinately one of the most versatile drummers. I'd like to see you do some of those fills! If you're still not convinced pick up a copy of Probot. It's a metal album that Dave played all the instruments. - Thu, 13 May 2004 10:06am | ||
| Zac User Info... | Kellen Ross, too bad he plays in such a shitty band. - Thu, 13 May 2004 10:59am | ||
| Troo_Kvlt User Info... | Niko McBrain from Iron Maiden - Thu, 13 May 2004 12:41pm | ||
| Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Yeah - I saw Bruford in '84 with King Crimson at the Queen E... He might take my vote too. And Joey Barron, who was all over the place with Naked City. - Thu, 13 May 2004 1:48pm | ||
| Tragedy User Info... | Animal. You know, the muppet. - Thu, 13 May 2004 2:04pm | ||
| BILL N. User Info... | Richard Karn - Thu, 13 May 2004 2:13pm | ||
| MethodAir User Info... | Dave Weckl is pretty versatile also: http://www.daveweckl.com/ - Thu, 13 May 2004 3:19pm | ||
