Carl Palmer rules! I'm still perplex with his solo I watched last March. How can a human being produce the music he produces?

I think Bruford and Collins were the most innovative of the Golden Age prog drummers. Palmer and Bruford were probably the most influential. Peart and Christian Vander both are extremely important for reasons that go beyond the drum kit.

Bruford because of how many bands he played in and how many good albums were made with him on the drums.

UK - s/t
KC - Larks Tongues In Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red
Yes - Fragile, Close to the Edge

etc...

I know I missed a few good albums out but thats because these are the only ones I've heard so far

Peart is way overated, in my opinion. His playing lacks originality. He is a fast man, sure, but lacks ideas. His fill-ins are very ordinary. He is in my opinion too tight-arsed to be a really good drummer (which is proven by the fact that he has been playing the same solo over and over again for years. I wouldn't even play the same solo twice).

Neil Peart

I can't believe I dropped Morgan Ågren's name here, and nobody reacted!

Think I'm gonna go stand inthe corner and sulk.

Threads like these are always a great opportunity to remind people of some less-known - but not less-worthy - drummers. This time it's going to be the late, great, Ian Wallace - beautiful, exquisite playing on King Crimson's "Islands". In general, KC's pre-Bruford drummers - Wallace, Michael Giles and Andy McCulloch - are undeservedly ignored.

Mr.Bruford was extremely influenced by Mr.Michael Giles from the 2 first KC's album.. Does that make you feel better?

Not really. I know Bruford was influenced by him. Still, he is rarely mentioned here.

For now Andy Ward's (Camel, golden days) style appeals to me. so I voted other... Bruford is also one hell of a drummer and the others are fine

Don't get me wrong. I was a huge Peart Fan in my teens. A few things about him changed that for me. I met him in Philly after a show. I was like 18 and a huge rush and peart fan. Long story short he was an asshole to me. It really hurt me back then, and it turned me off the guy. No reason to be a jerk to other aspiring drummers that admire you. I went home and took all his posters down.

Then I fouond guys like Morgenstein in the Dregs, and tony williiams, Miles Davis and Gadd on that Chick Corea record. Peart was a big influence on me too, but I did discover when I got older much better drummers. The only Peart thing Istill do to this day 20 years or more later is tune my drums to the call of the races like he did.

Karma was a bitch for him when he played with Buddys' Band. Its on Dvd. I actually felt bad for the guy. He took lessons from Freddie Grubber after that experience. It was really bad, but hey in Rush he kicks ass.

joe

I got get off this site, its like crack

Yep, I remember a letter years back in Modern Drummer where he was a complete and utter ass to a young drummer. And I agree, there is no place for it. I admire his contributions. To this day he remains an introvert. Although he may not outwardly admit it, he hates his public. Thank god the other two in the band make up for his, well, rudeness.

Yes, this site can be very addicting. It's the premiere Prog Forum in my book.
