    Alex Van Halen?

    I would argue that he is one of the most underrated rock drummers...my vote goes to Neil Peart, dude has never made my foot tap once, hate his style, so non swinging

    His drumming is too convoluted for my tastes.... works for Moon and Mitchell, but not for AVH.

    I do like his drumming on this track. Effective Four-on-the-floor.

    I'm looking at a big collection tomorrow. This thread will really help me keep from making mistakes.
    I will be sure to buy nothing with:
    Bernard Purdie
    Idris Muhammad
    Jack Dejohnette
    Lenny White
    Tony Williams
    Harvey Mason
    Steve Gadd
    ?uest
    Ringo Starr
    Alex Van Halen
    Billy Cobham

    I notice a number of these have played with Miles Davis, who is renowned for his poor choice of sidemen.
    What do you all think of these other Davis drummers; Philly Joe Jones, Jimmy Cobb, Al Foster, Max Roach, Art Blakey?

    But enough about drummers.
    Which guitar players do you just hate? I'll start:
    Django Rhienhard, guy could hardly play chords at all.
    Jimi Hendrix, feedback? whats up with that?
    Freddie Green, never played a lead.
    Joe Pass, notes and chords, is all he ever plays.
    BB King, seriously, do people really like his playing?

    Title of the thread is "POPULAR drummers.. you don't like" so it's not surprising ..... folks can't all like everyone equally. And who dissed Idris Muhammad? He's my favourite drummer!!

    Apparently it was Ringo not Purdie on this:


  • I know a dude who thinks Bonham's drumming was schitt.

    I didn't think that was possible. I nearly god damn cried. I couldda punched him.. and then punched myself.

  • That drum solo on Get Ready by Raer Earth got a bit lost in the middle... that pissed me off, but then when he locks back into that beat all is forgiven again.

    Just joking around.
    This is a good thread.
    People are being specific about what they do and don't like about some drummers.
    Interesting reading.
