musa Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 peace,if you could choose up to ten element of drumming from your favorite drummers to make the "perfect drummer" what that would be?mine:elvin's intensity,tony williams' vision of directions (expecially in his early years),art blakey's dynamics,roy haynes rhythmic precision,billy higgins' drive at low volume,omar hakim's feel,dennis chamber's chops and audacityvinnie colaiuta's ability to play all styles with authentic feel...and the list goes on.

Brenton Trott Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I think just putting Manu Katche and Stewart Copeland together would do it for me. Cheers Brenton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumtek Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 The hand/foot [and] independence techniques of guys like Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham, Virgil Donati, et alnot to mention too many of the older jazz cats! (I'm also trying to remember the name of the drummer. . . wore black a lot. . . played black cymbals for a minute. . . played incredible ostinatos. . . kinda looked like Boy George without the make-up. . . what was his name???) Oh, and the feel and pocket of Steve Ferrone. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progfusion74 Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Ostinato's = Terry Bozzio. I am not too sure what Missing Person's-era Bozzio looked like, but your description fits some of the pictures I have seen http://www.indiegrooves.com/dnm/images/dnm_small.gif My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 A great feel above anything else. Second, a steady tempo. I have seen too many drummers loose jobs because they could not keep the correct tempo in songs. Robert This post edited for speling.

Garon Kittle is really the best.
