^Great discussion, Mike and Özgür! Thanks! Just the kind of civil, on-target commentary I was hoping to generate with this thread. 

I agree that I'm not trying to make this out to be a competition--I appreciate the skills and styles of so many artists (including athletes)--I'm just trying to expand my awareness of what artists are out there that I might be missing.

Also, Özgür: Yes, that physical dedication component is super important. I know from many, many examples in athletics and health care that even a seemingly insignificant absence from one's craft of a day or two can significantly affect one's fine tuned timing and skill levels. Dedication is key. Great point.

^ Thank you Drew. It was my pleasure. I also am learning lots of things from this forum. Let's all keep it that way. Also be thankful to yourself. Your intentions to create this thread were already clear. I would be sorry if I happened to be an a****le here. Ying Yang

Another great young drummer I wanna mention: Michael Mitchell.

Not just because he has got the killer chops (which he has for sure) but because, like the proper jazzman he is, he’s all about listening to and interacting with the other players. Check out the dialogue between him and pianist Greg Spero around half way into this Spirit Fingers track:



It would be interesting to hear him in an extreme metal context. Here he is with Cameron Graves, which seems about as close to that as you’ll get in jazz fusion:



Special thanks to Mirakaze, who just recently turned me on to Cameron Graves.

Hi,

Even better ... the strings and the tension. Nowadays everyone has them at 80 PSI or better since the rackets are strong and all that. In the old days, McEnroe had his strings on the Wilson (wood) rackets at about 50 PSI so the ball would "die" when it touched it and he could get the ball to spin even more when he placed it over there in that spot, which made him one of the best "spot" players ever. And using the spin on the serve was even tougher on the opposition. But it changed when Lendl came along with strings about 70 PSI or more and he was blowing holes in John's rackets!

This black metal guy has attracted lots of attention in the recent years. I think he is fun to watch. Should I join the Darkside? LOL



I REALLY enjoyed that! He makes it look so smooth and effortless--and sensical! Such economy of motion. Does he even sweat?

^ Cool, Drew! (I used to be Shadowyzard, BTW.)

Hahah. He can play in such an outfit without being out of breath, so you must be right. Darkside is a good drummer. He definitely has style and creativity.

Must include a mention here for Eric Harland's performance on Dave Holland's Prism (2013) album!

Foals have great drumming if we allow for non-prog.

You may prefer younger and less established artists in this thread but the three drummers live performances of King Crimson were outstanding.

Both non-prog and old in the 2010s, sorry. Rest in Peace Tony Allen!

And another legend who is no longer with us. Cry
Jaki Liebezeit still did very creative and fun things in the 2010s.

OK just one more... hard to stop... Charles Hayward, phantastically creative drummer, lots of very varied stuff around (I decided against his 30 minutes snare drum roll video Cool).
Not really young anymore either, but who cares?

I totally respect metal drummers for their technical ability and precision which is unparalleled. 

However, musically I prefer fusion drummers. They seem to be able to vary swing feel, being on top of or behind the beat, and all those musical nuances like no one else. 

There is a reason Devin Townsend gets different drummers on different songs including metal monsters like Samus but most often leans on Morgan Agren.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Hi,

Marc Layton-Bennett on the Jaki Liebezeit Tribute show, makes a lot of these drummers look ... not very good. Maybe it is that Marc is playing with Jah Wobble that makes the difference? ....
