There are some greatly talented and entertaining drummers out there who I believe are do more credit and spot light than they get. I love drums and drummers and I wanted a thread to celebrate the people who keep the beat and so much more. Post pics, stories, articles or whatever you like of some of your favorite drummers.

I'll start...

Not Mike Joyce

my fav drummer.

(that was a terrifying task to go and get that picture. :( cause he still scares me. and yet he's still awesome. :( )

^^

Thats and excellent pic! What's the story behind it?

I once dated a drummer. for two weeks. back in the summer of 03. fact.



also, these two guys are pretty kewl:

Agreed, Spencer is a delight

What scares you about him??

:)
The We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful video.
*shrugs* I just have unnatural fear of him. I still think he's awesome though.

There's also this one I found on google:

They're from Pretty Petty Thieves apparently. *shrugs* I just picked the first one, haha.

Not Mike Joyce

he was still a good drummer. :rolleyes:

LOL @ your fear. That video is ridiculous. I think Gary scares me in that video. He looks like he is ready to cut someone. :eek:

And this pic of Spence and the dog is adorable!

I also like John Bohham (RIP) ...his skillz on "Since I've Been Loving You" blow me away every time.

http://www.tim-brooks.co.uk/images/drummer/john_bonham.jpg


and, whoever that chick was with the fro, that played drums in the Lenny Kravitz vid for "Are You Gonna Go My Way." yeah. she's cool.

he was still a good drummer. :rolleyes:
He was indeed a good drummer, and I give credit for that.
(He is a bit of a douchebag though, but I'm not gonna pretend he wasn't part of The Smiths.)

but please, for the love of god, no pictures of Joyce. He scares me more then Spencer does. Even though I have a couple of pictures of him on my Smiths wall. One of which doesn't even LOOK like him.

Gary does look like he's gonna cut someone. He scares me a bit too. :( He reminds me of Gollum for some reason. I mean, he's a sweetheart, (at least that's what I've heard), but he does scare me a bit too.
Nonetheless, I wanna give all of them (Boz, Alain, Gary, even Spencer) big hugs. :D

Moz can be a bit of a douchebag too, but we still love him! :p:D

I think every Moz fan has to realize how much a douchebag the man can be. The people who don't are living in a pretty little fantasy land. :p
it's what makes him ~Morrissey~.

I also like John Bohham (RIP)

http://www.tim-brooks.co.uk/images/drummer/john_bonham.jpg


and, whoever that chick was with the fro, that played drums in the Lenny Kravitz vid for "Are You Gonna Go My Way." yeah. she's cool.

Yes Bonham was the shit as well. He and Moon died way too young.

Also, I dated a drummer too. For 3 years. It was filled with dramz but I learned a shit ton about music and gained a huge respect for the art of drumming.

Josh Freese has probably played drums on a large percentage of music released in the past 15 years, fact...

http://www.mccstudios.co.uk/_global/images/shop/products/1233.jpg

Phil Selway of Radiohead!!! ;)

http://www.der-ingo.de/pic/radiohead_phil.jpg

well, bonham's the best really. what a right foot that man had. i can only dream of being able to do anything like him. so i keep on trying ... anyway.

my current favourite drummer is bryan from 'the national'. he's pretty amazing.

oh and how could I forget?! :D:guitar:

being a drummer myself, I'll chime in with a few of my favs most people wouldn't mention

Reni - Stone Roses
Loz - Ride
Mitch Mitchell - Hendrix
Greg Lyons - Laguardia / Eastern Conference Champions
Pete De Freitas - Echo and the Bunnymen

PS - I have no probs admitting Mike Joyce is my favorite drummer to ever play with Moz :guitar:

I was waiting for you to join in. :) I'll have to check out some of these I am not as familiar with the likes of Greg Lyons.

And I think Mike Joyce did progress quite a bit over the course of the Smith's career. Right at the begining you can tell he wasn't that experienced but I will give him credit for improving a lot. But he is not my favorite Moz drummer.

I found a much better appreciation for MJ once I started collecting bootleg Smiths DVDs..

Laguardia was from Southampton, PA so I went to see them live 40/50 times easily..He was my favorite drummer from the Philly area ever..They got signed to Universal and put out a record but have now split. ECC is a couple members from that band are signed and touring the world..Not as good as Laguardia in my opinion but Greg is so damn creative..he is a total drum hero and a friend..Once former member of ECC is now in Kasabian funny enough.

Oh yeah, I neglected to mention Stephen Perkins of Janes Addiction..of course Moon the Loon and Bonham top my list as well.

I would have put money on this thread being moved to "off topic" and not "other music". :)

No one hasn't mentioned My Bloody Valentine's drummer Colm O'Ciosoig!! :eek:

I saw MBV for the first time in June 1988 at a small venue in Shepherds Bush that was sensational.
He's undoubtedly the best drummer in his generations.

I admit Mike Joyce is as good as Colm.

These are excellent! Thanks so much for sharing! I adore the "My Love Life" video, good shots from it.

But beware Renia!!! There's a lot from "We Hate It..." :eek::p

Was he in the band in 1991?? I have a MBV show from the ULU on DVD I've got to watch and your high praise has peeked my curiosity.

As far as I know since late 1980s MBV kept steady line-up (Kevin, Belinda, Debbie and Colm).


Also did people realize many drummers had fairly short lives?

Billy Murcia (NYD)
Pete De Fraitas (Echo & The Bunnymen)
Ruzzle (Hanoi Rocks)
Cozzy Powell (White Snakes)

Apart from Murcia all three were killed road accident.

I also like Mick Fleetwood but I don't have a picture.

I loved the story relating to Fleetwoodmacs album Tusk. It was assumed by reviewers at the time that the title tusk referred to the ongoing problems with poachers in Africa but it turned out that it was an in joke referring to Mick Fleetwoods tusklike member lol

He was the best thing about the band, IMO. I LOVE the Tusk song & video

I always thought Boris Williams, former drummer of The Cure, was an excellent drummer.

Kevin Haskins-Bauhaus

and

Stephen Morris-JD/New Order

i've never been impressed much by drummers...but i can tell you two things that annoy the shit out of me:

1. drummers who are also lead singers
sorry, you can't do both

2. drummers who drum standing up
don't drum kits come with a stool? use it!

I always thought Boris Williams, former drummer of The Cure, was an excellent drummer.

He was a much more solid drummer then Jason Cooper that's for sure!

1. drummers who are also lead singers
sorry, you can't do both


What about Francis Mark?

http://www.vater.com/artists/images/franmark.jpg

He started out as the drummer for From Autumn to Ashes who did backing vocals.

Then while writing their 3rd album the lead singer Ben suffered from intense writers block and only had about 3 songs on the album that he wrote, so Francis primarily sang lead vocals on the whole album.

Then Ben left the band, so Francis took over as lead singer and gave the drumming position to their new drummer Jeff Gretz who also now sings back up but is sadly not as great a drummer as Francis. Its funny how these things happen.

Anyway, if you are intreged but this, check them out www.fromautumntoashes.org

What about the drummers for Hanson or the Jonas Brothers? :p

Oh you mean Zac Hanson who ended up being the hottest of the Hanson brothers??? Why didn't I think of him before. Behold his hotness...

Opening August 1st, “The Rocker” :D

Rainn Wilson stars as a wanna-been drummer who wins a second shot at fame with his nephew’s band, 20 years after being kicked out of his first band.

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809909025/photo/970471618

A failed drummer (Rainn Wilson) is given a second chance at fame. Robert "Fish" Fishman is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius, who is living the rock n' roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band. Twenty years after his rock star fantasies are destroyed, just when Fish has finally given up all hope, he hears that his nephew's high school rock band A.D.D. is looking for a new drummer. They reluctantly make him the newest member of the band, giving him a chance to reclaim the rock God throne he's always thought he deserved, and taking the young band along for the ride of their lives.

Will Arnett is in it too –and Pete Best makes a cameo!

Oh you want Hanson thru the years? Why didn't you say so...?!!! ;)

Here is Hanson in 1997 when MMM Bop came out. I was 14 and had a poster of this picture on my bedroom door. That poster stayed there until I moved out in March :o

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/covergallery/img/1997/jul251997_389_lg.jpg

Here is Hanson at the time of their second major label release "This Time Around" which is still my favorite of their albums...

But we can never forget the whacky young brothers from Tulsa that the world fell in love with in the spring of 97. Those were the days *sigh*...

But to stay on topic, a great drummer I've had the pleasure of seeing 3 times:

Er, we CAN forget those whacky young brothers. In fact, we had....:p

Can't post pics.

But i'd say definitely Mike Joyce, Sean Moore (Manic Street Preachers), Phil the Bald guy from Radiohead and Matt Walker who's been Morrissey's best drummer so far.

Its Neil Peart actually and I didn't mention him cause I can't stand Rush :thumb:

Maybe you can't stand Rush but he is phenomenal.

Being a drummer myself, I've not into guys for their technical prowess. Its more about the parts they bring to the songs like what Bryan Devendorf from The National or Sam Fogarino from Interpol are doing these days.

I'm not gonna lie, I saw Rush on the Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo, Greatest Hits and Vapour Trails tours and back in the day when I was in High School I thought Neil was the shit. But by the end I was bored out of my mind and not feeling the music at all. Nowadays I'd rather listen to Mike Joyce's groove on Interesting Drug then Neil Peart's drum fills on Tom Sawyer. But that's just me :thumb:

Very true, but in saying that I dont think Rush would be the same without Peart,So the parts he brings, makes their sound,he actually writes the lyrics too.The band and their music are very technical,hell Lifeson and Lee are some of the most technical guitarists around and that's probably why it all fits nicely as RUSH,sometimes it's nice to hear technical perfection if only for the confirmation that it can be done,it also helps for future learning.

For me when I feel like listening to some heavy rock i will often throw on moving pictures ahead of anything else,but I admit it's been a while.

oh skinner:)..the first look i had on the title i misread it as celibate drummers...:lbf:

I just noticed that the title of the thread was not actually "Celibate drummers", as I had it mentally filed as. I didn't even stop to think it was odd, this is a Morrissey forum afer all. Talk about letting the context determine the reading. :lbf:

cheers

Taylor was always the best looking one and he still is! Maybe this is because I like my men to look like women, I don't know.

Best drummer to ever live, let alone actually play the drums (and he's not a bad singer either!):

Claude Coleman

Absolute unknown drumming god. He's Ween's drummer, watched him do a 30min solo as part of a 3hr set they did last year. Just for some drumming awesomeness check out youtube clips of songs like "Man and Woman" and "Johnny on the spot" .. the guy is insane, switching between drumming while juggling his drumsticks, drumming with 3-4 sticks in each hand to going bare handed. I've read reports of a gig where he wouldn't stop during a drum solo so the rest of the band dismantled his kit during the show to stop him haha
