Duracell - This guy uses drum triggers to provide the instrumentation while he wails away... worth watching!

^Whoa. That's cool.

Joel from The Felix Culpa is a sweet drummer. He's perfect at finding where he fits within the song as a whole, and still rocks while doing it.

So who are your favorite drummers (no drummer jokes please).

For me,....Stewart Copeland tops the list but other dudes that consistently put me in a state of awe and make me want to get behind the kit and be like them.

Billy Martin
Stanton Moore
Jojo Meyer
Thomas Haake

As of the latest Mecha Shiva, fuckin' you.

Who me,....I ain't no drumtard,....at least not yet.

That's Ron on teh drums. He is a pretty amazing musician,...all the glitched out noise electronic stuff that's on our soundcloud is his work,...mainly Ableton Live.

That said,...he isn't the most versatile drummer out there, but in the context of Mecha Shiva,...his spazz style fits really well.

FWIW,....I'm all bass and pedlulz baby.

Klaus Dinger FTW \o/

Atsuo from Boris is pretty awesome. From jazz-like grooves to blistering punk speeds. Also, he wins for being the most "rock-star" like out of the whole group (standing on the kit and doing the devil horns, smashing gongs, crazy hair, etc).

Aaron Haris from Isis is monolithic in my opinion, particularly on Oceanic. The way he loosens the snare drums so that everything sounds like he's rumbling around on toms is the best. Contributes to that huge building of anxiety the group very nicely. The song "Maritime" comes to mind...

Steve Hewitt's work with Placebo is amazing. Skittery, jittery madness. When he left I couldn't really listen to Placebo anymore.

And Mo Tucker. Or pretty much anyone who stands up and plays the kit like a boss.

Ah! I thought you drummed in Mecha Shiva, but played bass also. Why I thought this, I am unsure.

I am all about all of Mecha Shiva. You now stand atop the mountain of bass players I appreciate.

Mighty mighty.

Also: +1 for Atsuo.

Have I said Jim White? Also Jim White. Jim White is like the Drunken Master of the drumkit.

Dirty Three, FTW!

I think Jim White may be the first drummer I saw playing a bell-less ride.
