I play guitar, bass and sing which gives me an appreciation for a grat drummer. The new guy who blows me away is Yussef Dayes...

I always thought Pete Thomas from The Attractions was underrated...

He's laying down the main line for the song, but it's in 14/8 time so the rests seem awkward without the drums if you aren't expecting that. |

I'm a drummer myself, and have dabbled in guitar and keys, and can also sing. As a drummer, I differentiate between that which I call true "percussionists," those who use their skills in a wide-ranging and creative ways, versus those I refer to as "drummers" who have a skill for beating drums and cymbals in ways that really work well for the band they're in. Personally, I think true percussionists are way more talented (and I say this as someone who fits my own category of "drummers"). My favorite percussionist is Glenn Kotche--that guy literally made a boom-mike makeshift weird cymbal-thing? out of an old fruit bowl an extended family member got him for a wedding gift, among many other random crazy things: Contrast that to guys like Dave Grohl or Neil Peart who most certainly are "drummers" who were excellent at what they did, but did not engage in a study of percussive instrumentation at anywhere near the level that people like Kotche do. The most impressive thing is the ability to reproduce all that studio percussion work in a live setting, and to do it flawlessly. That takes some truly God-like talent. |

If we're ever in the same place we should jam. I see your point. Kotche is excellent and l like Wilco quite a bit. I tend to lean toward jazz drummers who l think have a bit of both the athletic "drummer" and more musicianly "percussionist" traits. I wonder where you put a guy like Steve Gadd (Steely Dan, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover etc.) who can do whatever. I think those studio guys like him or Hal Blaine can do it all. Cool post. Thanks! |

I appreciate versatile jazz drummers too. And yes, studio musicians are just able to do it all, it seems. I think everyone in Wilco other than Tweedy basically got their start as a studio musician, including Kotche. It seems like it would be such a cool job to do that for a living. |
