So Dave Grohl just broke his leg a few hours ago at a concert. During the 2nd song.

He went to hospital to get it put in a cast, and came back to finish the concert.

Dave Grohl is a badass.

What were your whereabouts on April 5, 1994? Tired of being stuck in the background, eh? What is your relationship to Mrs. Love?

Grohl just let a fan play drums at a concert for his 18th birthday

My Son, Nate Stockman, is a beast on drums.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

I'll be seeing this guy Friday night and Saturday night.

Fast Forward to around the 2:50 mark (right before a 1 handed roll lol)

and watch the man put on a clinic...(he goes nuts on this song live)

I just watched the Kansas - Miracles Out Of Nowhere documentary and it made me want to add Phil Ehart to my list. In the documentary it mentioned that on some of the albums Phil actually cut the drum track in one take without any additional musicians. That is crazy stuff! Especially considering the complex arrangements on most of their songs. I had forgotten just how good that band really was. That was a great documentary of the band by the way. Check it out if you get a chance.

 

[BugI02]

Aynsley Dunbar, Mick Fleetwood

 

[Principal Skinr]

Too many to list, but several of my favorite drummers are:

Phil Collins
Chester Thompson
Jeff Porcaro
Kenny Arnoff

I'veseen and heard some great ones whose names I never knew, too.

 

[Dr.Midnight]

I'm no music expert, but I love listening to Dave Lombardo play double bass.

 

[RugerRog]

So many great drummers, but I had have to say Neal Peart, Buddy Rich, and Animal from the Muppets.

I also found this drum battle several years ago that I enjoyed, hope you do too. Charlie Antonlini, Pete York, Huub Janssen

I could watch that all day. One of the best. I was a huge Dave fan back in the day, now I can't stand to listen to him.

Tim "Herb" Alexander, and Bryan "Brain" Manteno, both are/were drummers for the band Primus.

Also Marco Minneman, phenomenal drummer, that guy...

 

[MrPeabody]

Agree and plus one:

Buddy Rich, Neil Pert, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)

 

[Spear Dane]

Tim "Herb" Alexander, and Bryan "Brain" Manteno, both are/were drummers for the band Primus.

I hope they kept a royalty clause in the contract for their best known song.
