fat drummers

[nextpeart1]

hey can u guys name any good fat drummers, fat as in big overwait

[FL3P]

Gene Hoglan, Kurt Covington.......

[Massik Kretal]

Dennis Chambers and me. :lol: I'm not crazy overweight but I got some excess fat.

[FL3P]

By the way, I dont like men............just to clear that up.

[HeLLmO]

gene hoglan is huge, and he is great, john blackwell is a pretty hefty dude, john bonham wasn't exactly a twig, umm, myself

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Did he just spell overweight like "overwait?"

Cuz that bothers me. It really does.

[FL3P]

^^ yup you saw right

[Double Bass Jim]

Kirk Covington rules, guys friggin huge too.

[FL3P]

When I saw the pics from the MD festival I couldnt believe Kurt could even fit behind his kit.

[Massik Kretal]

Saw him at MDfest. What a sweaty crazy bastard. :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Plays great though.

Guys got style thats for sure.

[Matter]

Hey man I'm 220 at 5' 8''...I guess that makes me a good fat drummer.

[poppinfresh]

abe laboriel??

and rick latham

[Massik Kretal]

The guy for Paul McCartney. Unless ^^thats him. I'm not really sure.

[poppinfresh]

yeah thats him

[bTd09]

Did he just spell overweight like "overwait?"

Cuz that bothers me. It really does.

um...it bothers me when you say "cuz"....asshat



yeah, i was gonna say the guy for Paul McCartney....beat me to it

[playwithfire]

Yeah Abe Laboriel is massive. Only dude I can think of who actually suits a 28" kick. When you see Tommy Lee sitting behind his 26" and 32" you just think "that skinny little crack addict needs smaller bass drums" :lol:.

[SalParadise429]

abe laboriel??

and rick latham

haha abe laboriel.....that's who i thought of when i read fat drummers. That guy dwarves his set and his set isn't exactly small.

[HeLLmO]

haha, totally forgot Abe, he is the band, and that other large mexican dude he always plays with, his name is like craig or curt or something, i can't remember, but he is good too

[Double Bass Jim]

When you see Tommy Lee sitting behind his 26" and 32" you just think "that skinny little crack addict needs smaller bass drums" :lol:.
Hahahaha :lol:

[BetweenTheEchoes]

um...it bothers me when you say "cuz"....asshat

I would just like to point out that this is coming from a guy with Coheed and Cambria as his avatar.

But enough trolling. Back on subject. There's a guy called "The Butcher" in a local band in my town who's pretty damn big.

[King]

Nick Barker, Dimmu Borgir.
Buddy Rich kind of too, eh?

[Seafroggys]

abe played a 28" bass?

i knew it was huge (i've seen him play with Paul twice) but I was thinking it was more a 24, maybe 26.

[beaker_747]

Ray Herrera isn't as lean and muscular as he used to be...
Carter Beauford is pretty big these days as well.

And don't forget PURDIE!!

[White Riot!]

Vinnie paul

[Ill Mitch]

Dennis Chambers

I'm seeing him mid-December with Vic Wooten and Mike Stern.

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

Mick Fleetwood is pretty hefty guy. Rocky Gray form Evanescence is pretty tubby as well.

Cant think of many others, I think bassists/guitarists are more the ones who would be fat, less physical work to play the instrument than a drummer.

[RichHunt]

Did he just spell overweight like "overwait?"

Cuz that bothers me. It really does.

Did he just spell because like "cuz".

Because that bothers me. It really does.

edit: Looks like someone beat me to the punch. Oh my. Oh my.

[puppet.master]

me








o wait im not good :(

[playwithfire]

abe played a 28" bass?

i knew it was huge (i've seen him play with Paul twice) but I was thinking it was more a 24, maybe 26.It's very normal to switch things in for tours and whatnot, but his regular kit is a nice, fat 28".

[PrinceOfDarkness]

i think someone beat me to it, but rocky gravy from evanescence

there was a guy who used to be a great drummer who used to work with me, and he was 6'8" and over 30 stone

[Dave*Grohl]

When I saw the pics from the MD festival I couldnt believe Kurt could even fit behind his kit.
That sounds funny :D He really must be huge!

[Phototropic]

Alfredo Hernandez!!!!!!!!!!

You people need to listen to him!

[firefoxzero]

The only other drummer I could think of cos everyone else beat me to the punch was the Machinehead drummer for Burn My Eyes album (Chris K.....)? Matt Sorum was a big dude a while ago.

[HoMoPhObE]

Nick Barker, Dimmu Borgir.
Buddy Rich kind of too, eh?

Yes Nick Barker is massive but hes so fast it doesn't seem possible.

[BetweenTheEchoes]

Yes Nick Barker is massive but hes so fast it doesn't seem possible.

Yeah you'd think with all that fat around his ankles he wouldn't be able to kill those double bass grooves like he does.

[metallas]

me


o wait im not good :(

That was a nice one

[Talos]

The drummer from -H-I-M-

[BetweenTheEchoes]

The drummer from -H-I-M-

That's because the drummer from HIM ate all the drummers from the other 80's wannabe bands.

[spirit]

I immediately thought Abe Laborial Jr. The others I thought off have been mentioned: Dennis Chambers, Bernard Purdie.

Also, to whoever said Mick Fleetwood, he's really not fat. He's tall.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Gas Lipstick hes cool

[rohbit]

Your mom!

Ok, i'm done...

Oh yeah, "overwait" drummers...

Guy from paparoach "cuz" i can't think of ones that haven't been said yet/

[Hyde]

That's because the drummer from HIM ate all the drummers from the other 80's wannabe bands.

Nice...

[FL3P]

Your mom!

Ok, i'm done...

Oh yeah, "overwait" drummers...

Guy from paparoach "cuz" i can't think of ones that haven't been said yet/

Yeah how could you overlook David Buckner from Papa Roach, he's quite a beefcake.

[Drum Phil]

Bernard Prudie all the way

[bTd09]

I would just like to point out that this is coming from a guy with Coheed and Cambria as his avatar.

ok, and this has to do with you saying "cuz" and complaining about people saying "overwait" because?....

[King]

rocky gravyHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[metdrummer]

Gene Hoglan, Nick Barker

[Killjoy]

m3 hehe but im working on it :D

[Flamacue]

hey can u guys name any good fat drummers, fat as in big overwait

Interesting trivia question, but not a very useful thread in the pursuit of drumming knowledge. You'd have learnt something valuable if your question had been 'can u guys name any good drummers with phat grooves' :)

[playwithfire]

In which case Dennis Chambers, Abe Laboriel, Carter Beauford, etc. all still would have been good answers :lol:.

[Sultan of Smoothies]

Don't forget ?uestlove. I think he lost weight but he's still a big dude. . .

[Plan B.]

Carter isn't fat, he's phat.

[Futuro]

/Lays back with all 300+ pounds :)

[Plan B.]

Guys, no joke, I gained like 8 pounds in the last 5 days. I'm a fatbody now.

[Brokensticks]

Jerry Adolphe.

[poppinfresh]

i gained 17 pounds in muscle when i had weight traning, half of that is gone now.

[zachcrash]

Jerry Adolphe.
Chiliwack played a classic rock festival that I was backline drum teching. Didn't get see a lot of them play because of dealing with a drummer who will remain nameless.
When setting the band up I asked if he needed any set up adjustments he said "this is fine, i'll play anything" and play he did, amazing player. The guy can groove like no one buisiness.

[rohbit]

Yeah how could you overlook David Buckner from Papa Roach, he's quite a beefcake.

He's also quite the drummer. Has some creative beats imo... i deem him underrated.

[FL3P]

^^ Agreed
