Riffster Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 He is/was that much alcohol and drug abuse take their toll. I never get tired of the drums on Children of the Grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrosion of conformity Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hey Dem00n, why don't you like nu-metal? There's a lot of good nu-metal bands out there, like Korn, Disturbed, Slipknot, Linkin Park, System of a Down, early Papa Roach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrosion of conformity Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 By the way, The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold is a pretty good drummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 By the way' date=' The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold is a pretty good drummer[/quote'] agreed, his idea of keeping beat is by doing drum fills up and down around. Its to much for my taste. But never the less a very good drummer indeed, probly the fastest ive ever herd beside that guy from slipcantnot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Bill was a great drummer. My favorite drummer from that time was John Bonham. As for new guys, I dig Brann from Mastodon. He's sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 No disrespect to the nu-metal drummers out there. Their technical skills are great, but none of them are Bill Ward. That guy was one of kind. Not too many drummers in rock that had the loosy goosy jazz style. Every drum part of his sounds like a train barreling down the tracks at 100+ miles per hour, always on the edge of derailing, but never does. And sorry to hate, but Charlie Watts ain't nothing. He gets named because he drums for one of the biggest rock bands in history. I can think of a million drummers that keep better time (Ringo Starr) and play in pocket with more groove (Levon Helms) than him. Watts just rushes, which maybe what kept the Stones propped up through those god awful albums in the 70s/80s/90s. Maybe he should have stuck to jazz?

bjb06f Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Mike Portnoy anyone? he definitely kills everyone who's ever been a nu-metal drummer even Joey from slipknot, fast kid, but just nasty... nasty.. (i was a marching percussionist before i tried drumset, completely different stuff, but you know clean drumming when you hear it, and his is not) . Stewart Copeland was always wonderful. and I totally agree on Bill Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
