Modern drummers

Post by gtrmu »

Are there any drummers out there today who have grabbed your attention and have made you sit up and say "Wow, who is this?" in the same way that Ringo, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, etc. did back when they first came out?

Hmmm, not really. Granted, there are some fabulous players out there, but I don't hear anything truly new from the up & coming players. The last really different and exciting stuff I heard was from Terry Bozzio, and that's been 30+ years. I dunno, maybe there's nothing new left? :)

But I do like a lot of drummers who aren't necessarily amazing technicians or inventive. If they play what they play well, I enjoy listening to them.
