Okay, we see that many here are MEGA Neil Peart Fans, so let deviate a bit from the usual "Beter than nonsense" and get to the "meat and potatoes" let's have you write down your favorite drumming performances, by which drummer, and on what song/album...AND P.S> it could be by any drummer.... i.e. Phil Collins and Bill Bruford on "The Cinema Show" from Second's Out I'll be back later to see everyone's results....

Bill Bruford "Heart of the sunrise" from Fragile. Or, since you said any drummer, John Bonham on "In my time of dying" or "When the levee breaks". |

I'm not that drumming specialist but I'm always impressed by Michael Giles performance at '21st Century Schizoid Man'. In general I like several drummers: Bill Bruford, Neil Peart, Carl Palmer, Graeme Edge, Phil Collins, etc. Drummers are very well represented in the prog-scene (same for all other main instruments). ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Neil Peart on the live "Rush in Rio" DVD/CD, Richard Christy on Death's "Live in L.A." album, Flo Mournier on Cryptopsy's "Phobophile", DragonForce's David Mackintosh on "Valley of the Damned", whoever played on Ozzy's "Over the Mountain", Andy Galeon of Death Angel on "The Ultra-Violence," and Nick Mason's playing on "Division Bell". I love his drumming on that album- not complicated, fast, or flashy, but incredibly tastefully-placed and... well, it just goes by that less-is-more principle, which I think is true in this case. Oh, and my band's drummer on our version of "Wipeout". He is one crazy dude... ------------- THE DEMON CODE PREVENTS ME FROM DECLINING A ROCK-OFF CHALLENGE!!! |

Phil Collins - the exerpt from Supper's Ready "Apocalypse in 9/8". The feel for the time sig in this song blows me away. It has to be completely improv but he hits the crash on the "1" of every measure while not holding a formatted pattern. No structure yet he knows exactly where he is. I wonder how the other musicians in the band keep their time during this segment. |

Pierre Moerlin - Master Bulider (Gong - You (1974)) Christian Vander - Mekanik Zain (Magma - Live (1975)) Well everything Magma did contained unbelievable drumming, but his performance (with stunning contribution by Didier Lockwood on violin) in the 20-minute version of "Mekanïk Zaïn" from the 1975 live record is perhaps the most breathtaking. Jaki Liebezeit – Halleuhwah (Can – Tago Mago (1971)) Robert Wyatt – Part of the Dance (Matching Mole (1972))

out of frustration trying to play the beginning of that song), and Beelzbub. Carl Palmer: Tank (DRUM SOLO), Toccata, Karnevil 9 2nd Impression.

Danny Carey on the songs "Push*t" and "Ænima". Ginger Baker on live version of "Toad" Neil Peart on "O Baterista" from the In Rio DVD. TheProgtologist pretty much nailed it though  ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a drummer. Two of
the first singles I bought were Dance with the Devil by Cozy Powell and Radar Love by Golden Earring because I liked the drumming on them so much. ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |
