I thought I would share this with you guys as I greatly admire Manu Katche, Omar Hakim, Steve Gadd etc.

The best thing about the three guys that you mention is their "feel". They all have great technique but they play to the music if you get my meaning. It's not just technique for technique's sake! Thomas Lang is utterly awe inspiring and arguably the greatest technical drummer out there, but he's not at all musical IMO and I get bored quite quickly watching him. One of my favourite drummers is Dave Weckl. He has become a lot more musical over the years. I also like Carter Beauford from the Dave Matthews Band. I'm never sure how he gets away with being so busy on those tunes but somehow it just works.
So how many drummers do with have here on the forum??

Neil Peart is awesome...saw him on the Hemispheres tour!!!
So many great drummers out there, from many different periods of time.
Youtube is fantastic when it comes to looking back at old footage.
I have recently been blown away by Elvin Jones...the man was totally amazing and he played right up until he passed away.
A highly respected drummer in the jazz circuit.Comment

Did anyone catch the BBC series I'm a rock n roll star? Great prog on drummers, but I dont agree about them being peace keepers of the band, was always me they had to control .LOL
Got kicked out of a few bands tho for stealing girlfriends, guitarists just couldn't keep the pace so the girls told meComment
