OK...so, I can start calling groups "The Beetles", "Lead Zeppelin", and "Leonard Skynard"?
Sure.
 
Don't forget Van der Graaff Generator.
 
And be sure to use Googol instead of Google - we've suffered Larry Page's spelling mistake long enough.

Maybe it helps to have a far more interesting band to work with...

Yeah, I think I can agree to Danny being a better drummer than Mangini.

Of course, a guy who can play as many genres and styles as he can probably makes him a better drummer than Mangini. Wink

Also, I'm impressed this thread's gotten through 19 pages so far. I think I'm with Logan, it's definitely a gift that keeps on giving. LOL



Danny is a friend of a friend. Very nice dude that is not full of himself or up his own ass either.


And holy sh*t he is good.

Isn't Steve Gadd Gary Glitter?

Oh wait... think that's Paul Gadd.  Oops.

^ I guess they are all equally best. Me personally, I'm not a fan of Gadd (though I do know a bit about him). I could really vouch for Gurtu and Cobham. I gotta check out Williams, though.

What about Steve Gadd, Glen Velez, Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussein, Mattias Olsson, Martin Axenrot, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Thomas Pridgen and that guy with Tony Bennet?

It was obviously a fun opening post that produced a lot of amusing replies. Music is art and such is subjective.

There's no such things as the greatest drummer of all time, there's only favourites. For instance, my favourite drummer is Carl Palmer from Emerson, Lake & Palmer, but I would never be stupid enough to proclaim him the greatest drummer of all time. Because the enjoyment of music is purely opinion based.

I was actually rooting for DT to pick him over Mangini, until I saw Mangini and then I was like "well...ok, he'd be a pretty good fit." LOL

I really loathe Dream Theater, with or without Portnoy. I've hated everything they've released since...ehhhh... Awake (and that's pushing it). At this point I'd rather hear Mott the Hoople or some sh*t.



Try their album "The Hoople", my favourite.


Unhappy

you are entitled to your opinion for sure, and i think you are the first person that ive heard say the AWAKE album is no good. i think this might be a breath of fresh air for me.LOL
