Yuli: Sput-drummers | Sputnikmusic

Yuli 03.03.12	I also wanted to mention Amia Venera Landscape, Battles and Scale the Summit, so I will here. :] Also, Eddie from Thrice is surprisingly innovative, and it truly shows on the band's most recent releases, from Vheissu forward.
Ire 03.03.12	ya drums are cool i play them
Emim 03.03.12	I've neglected rudiments for far too long.
Yuli 03.03.12	Good Neighbor has amazing drumming, my god. D: I particularly love Endless Endings, especially the wacky part about 40 seconds in. Captain, that's awesome. I love Cynic's drumming, but I haven't heard the others as much. Ire, don't you work at Olive Garden? Emim, let's take rudiment lessons together.
Electric City 03.03.12	I really dig the drumming on Laughing Stock actually, but I think in terms of style I come out more like Cap'n Jazz
ZilbelPing 03.03.12	I play percussion at my school. I'm in the 2nd jazz band and I march snare during marching season (which helps me with my rudiments since our warm-ups are basically rudiments). Planning on studying music performance at Texas State in a year. I'd say that my most influential albums are Circa Survive-Juturna (Steve Clifford is a severely underrated drummer) This Town Needs Guns-Animals (your description is perfect) The Number Twelve Looks Like You-Mongrel (Jon Karel's drumming in this is superb) Minus The Bear-Planet of Ice (Erin Tate's drumming fan go from relatively simple to very technical and I love his restraint) The Mars Volta-De-Loused in the Comatorim (I'm a sucker for laying grooves.) I'd say my favorite drummer is Jojo Mayer but there's many drummers out there that I deeply envy and appreciate.
mttgry 03.03.12	gospel - the moon is a dead world some of the best drumming ive ever heard
CrazyDrummer4562 03.03.12	Sholi- (s/t) has some of the most understated but mind blowing drum work I've yet to come across. Definitely worth checking out.
RooseveltsGhost 03.03.12	Joe Arrington is the drummer for A Lot Like Birds. I met that dude like 8 years ago when he played in a band called Riots of Eighty with my friend. He introduced me to As Cities Burn. Great guy, great drummer.
pizzamachine 03.03.12	I drum like a boss
ZilbelPing 03.03.12	LIKE A BOSS
elephantREVOLUTION 03.03.12	props on all of these, especially 3 and 5. they don't get enough attention on this site.
pizzamachine 03.03.12	I've drummed since grade 10 (long time ago), people have said I have a technical style.
Ire 03.03.12	"Ire, don't you work at Olive Garden?" yeah but i also play drums and a few other instruments on my off time.
Hyperion1001 03.03.12	haha my spring break started today and i drove home and played my set for about 3 hours it was so much fun i can blast hard
UnnamedOcean 03.03.12	I've been drumming about 4 years or so. I have a pretty unique style, very much into subtle snare stuff, abnormal rhythms and odd time signatures. Since I compose music and play several other instruments I like to be very interactive with the stuff I play.
Jethro42 03.03.12	I drum like pizzamachine =P. My main influences come from drummers like John Bonham, Neil Peart and Stewart Copeland.
TheNotrap 03.03.12	^Hell of a drummer. Metalicopeth too.
ChuckyTruant 03.03.12	Yess Stewart Copeland is a boss
Captain North 03.03.12	I drummed a bit before my accident, Abe Cunningham was my biggest influence
TheNotrap 03.03.12	what accident?
Trebor. 03.03.12	I play drums but I don't have a kit so I can never play My hands are lighting fast
LegendofPittman 03.03.12	I play drums too, but guitar is my main instrument.
Funeralopolis 03.03.12	I have a friend who plays drums does that count?
Yuli 03.03.12	Interesting that Joe Arrington was really cool when you met him. Maybe I caught him on a bad day, but he seemed a bit arrogant when he were talking about drumming. And he was friendly initially, but it was one of those moments when you feel like the person you're talking to would rather be doing about anything else Haven't ever noted anything crazy from Circa Survive. I'll have to take a deeper look into it. Yeah man, #12 is insane. What Ive heard from them has been mind-blowing. I'll have to check out Gospel and Sholi :] Another group I forgot to mention is Karnivool.
Dis_Con_Nec_Ted 03.03.12	Been drumming for nearly 12 years now. Dunno about specific influence since I tend to just absorb anything that sounds good like a sponge and thus more or less it will become part of my own style. But thinking about it, a certain characteristic of my style reveals that Tomas Haake has been a significant influence.
Yuli 03.03.12	Also, how do you guys utilize double bass (if you do)? I suppose I mean in terms of style. That's awesome, Sound. While I do pick up on various artists I listen to, I can definitely say I play kind of a slowed-down Dillinger / Mars Volta hybrid style. :P
Captain North 03.03.12	Notrap - broke my back. Kind of makes drumming difficult so now I'm trying to learn guitar...so slow
KotoFtw 03.03.12	I played drums for the first time in 2 months today. Then I rolled my ankle. Feels bad, man.
Yuli 03.03.12	:[ i'm sorry to hear that. at least it sounds like you were getting a lot done behind the kit, no?
Josh D. 03.03.12	I just got home for playing drums for a musical my sister is in (Godspell. I know...just let the irony sink in). The ALLB drummer is insanely good. My early influences were Matt McDonough, Neil Peart, and some classic rock stuff.
Yuli 03.03.12	That's really cool, Josh. I'm considering minoring in Percussion, which would really help me out with my skills :] my biggest influences are really modern, although I have heard drummers from back in the day that were great. I guess that goes along with the fact that I don't listen to too much older music overall
Yazz_Flute 03.03.12	I'm a percussion major currently. I like rudiments. And stuff. I don't play set as much as I used to but my biggest rock influences were Vince Roseboom and Chris Pennie.
Yuli 03.03.12	I love Chris Pennie, my goodness. How's your percussion major going?
Spec 03.03.12	Jimmy Sullivan was mine :(
Trebor. 03.03.12	I got into drumming because of Atreyu I think
Yuli 03.03.12	:[ poor guy. Yeah, A7X was my introduction into heavier music. I remember playing City of Evil with my dad, and showing him the crazy parts the Rev had on there, like that insane double bass solo in 'Blinded in Chains'.
Spec 03.03.12	Well really it all started from me listening to Gob, Suicide Machines and The Offspring back in elementary.
Yuli 03.03.12	And I used to dig me some Atreyu back in the day :]
Aphrodisiac 03.03.12	can u giv me some tips on improving my double base
Yuli 03.03.12	The Offspring in elementary? I'm impressed. And I thought it was damn monumental that I liked Sublime in the 6th grade...
Spec 03.03.12	I know, when I look back i'm pretty proud of myself. Suicide Machines I can attribute to tony hawks pro skater 1 though.
Trebor. 03.03.12	I listened to The Offspring in elementary school because my parents had their albums
Yuli 03.03.12	Aphrodisiac, just make ur feet go rele fast and play every song by Bring Me The Horizon
Yuli 03.03.12	Tony Hawk games had amazing music, as did the SSX games. :3 so many bands discovered from those. And Trebor, that's awesome. My dad likes some standard prog like Dream Theater, but other than that we don't share too much
Trebor. 03.03.12	Tony Hawk Pro Skater introduced me to Dead Kennedys, and the rest is history
Spec 03.03.12	Yeah the soundtrack ruled. Goldfinger and Primus, FUCKING PRIMUS.
Yuli 03.03.12	I started listening to Thrice because of SSX 3. Now I find that hilarious, considering the one music site I tend to frequent the most :P
Spec 03.03.12	You came prepared. I came in like "hey guys who wants to discuss Avenged Sevenfold?"
Yuli 03.03.12	Dude, I would love to discuss A7X further. Waking the Fallen is essentially what got me into heavier music, so they have a special place in my heart.
Spec 03.03.12	Waking The Fallen still holds up pretty good today. Still wish they kept that sound, would have loved another "core" album. Apparently Matt got the same vocal coach that Axl Rose had. That would explain the whiny-ness.
Yuli 03.03.12	Really? That's really interesting. I haven't ever had a problem with Matt's voice, but it seems like I'm the only one :P did you dislike the self-titled as much as everyone else did?
Yuli 03.03.12	True, andcas. I thought he was the greatest drummer alive 4 years ago xD
Spec 03.03.12	I liked it when it came out. It's pretty "meh" now. Rev was underrated! Fuck you.
Spec 03.03.12	Died too soon :(
Yuli 03.03.12	Yeah same, it's maybe a 3 or so for me. Possibly higher though, it gets too much flack. And indeed, COE was an excellent album all-around. I also remember being so excited for all of Synyster's solos
Spec 03.03.12	His solo's sucked on the s/t.
Yuli 03.03.12	Yeah, well they were definitely more song-oriented than "hey let's play a ton of notes rele fast that sound cool!". Not saying they were better by any means but they seemed to be meant to enhance the song more, and I feel like it at least worked with some songs, like Critical Acclaim. Still love that one. Don't even remember the solos in the other songs though, to be honest
Trebor. 03.03.12	By the time the self titled came out I was done with them
Yuli 03.03.12	I can agree with that for sure. The scope of COE was so grand, whereas the self-titled didn't have much of an apparent purpose.
Spec 03.03.12	No way. The solos on the s/t were way more wanky and less song oriented. Also Scream is just the shittiest song.
Spec 03.03.12	Haha figured. That explains the low ass bass end.
Yuli 03.03.12	Scream was cool though And I don't remember the s/t solos being wanky besides Scream and perhaps Afterlife (that one was still awesome though). However, it's been awhile and memory can be an unreliable thing
Spec 03.03.12	Little Piece Of Heaven still rules though. Loved Revs strange vocal style.
Yuli 03.03.12	I was pretty unopinionated towards Dear God. The verse / chorus was prets bad but the ending part was pretty enjoyable so it kinda balanced out for me.
Spec 03.03.12	AND HOW I MISS SOMEONE TO HOLD WHEN HOPE BEGINS TO FADE Also when rev screams "I need another chance to live" on Afterlife does it give anyone else chills like crazy?
Yuli 03.03.12	I haven't heard Afterlife ever since he died, but I'm sure I'll notice it next time :[
Captain North 03.03.12	system - uh no...how would breaking my back stop me from playing electric guitar? also I can actually move my legs enough to stand a little so hitting the occasional pedal wouldnt be too hard :P
Dimor 03.03.12	I would so that my own style of drumming is pretty much a mix between Danny Carey and Gavin Harrison. I love dynamic playing and its almost entirely based on feeling, rather than acting like a human metronome and memorozing songs, tom by tom. Stuff i like to play are mostly later porcupine tree stuff("Sound of muzak", "What happens now") and Tool obviously("Lateralus", "Third Eye", "The Patient"). Its all very rhytmic based and leaves a nice space for improvisation. Odd times gives me a fuzzy, cozy feeling inside.
Yuli 03.03.12	Odd times give a lot of us a cozy feeling :3 Danny Carey definitely has some nice chops, and through songs like Lateralus you can truly see how he approaches his songs and it's very impressive.
londoncalling457 03.03.12	dude coming home from college and sitting down at my set is the best feeling. as for influences, i feel that john clardy from tera melos is pretty underrated and a huge inspiration for me.
Yuli 03.03.12	I know right? And are there any songs in particular by Tera Melos where te drums are representative of what you're talking about? I've listened to them a bit and didn't hear anything groundbreaking, but I'd like to hear it.
