| Drumming Inspirations
Today marks the two year anniversary of when I bought my drums. To celebrate I'm listing all of my favorite drummers. List unranked | | 1 |  | Nirvana
In Utero
David Grohl- this dude made me wanna become a percussionist in the first place. His raw drumming talent, his intricate yet somehow incredibly accessible drumming made a huge impression on me and I strive to be like him in terms of what I do. | | 2 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
Patrick Wilson- this guy helped me realize that not every song I played on had to be a drum solo. I know now that it's okay to just play the simple backbeat and let my guitarist's songwriting come through. | | 3 |  | Blink-182
Blink-182
Travis Barker- up until recently, this guy has blown me away on nearly every track I've heard him on. Intricate beats, incredible fills, and a perfect combination of hip hop and punk makes him one of my favorite drummers and one of my idols. If only I could be like this guy | | 4 |  | Saosin
Saosin
Alex Rodriguez- one of the more technical drummers I know of. Dude's a beast on record and always blows me away with his work. Plus his style's unique enough that I can always pinpoint who he is on a record. | | 5 |  | Radiohead
In Rainbows
Philip Selway- my all time favorite drummer, this guy is simply incredible. Everything he does is perfect. Incredibly versatile and willing to switch from an acoustic kit to an electric one with hardly a blink of an eye. Also his ability to make the most of a hi hat, kick, and snare combo astounds me every time. | | 6 |  | Say Anything
...Is a Real Boy
Coby Linder- dude's got some of the most intricate drum work I've heard in the whole pop punk and indie rock genres and I've only heard this record! | | 7 |  | Twenty One Pilots
Vessel
Joshua Dun- probably my second favorite drummer, as his work is always really great and his versatility always shines on the stuff he's featured on. I even taught myself how to play drums using his work on this album as a template. | | 8 |  | Fightstar
Behind the Devil's Back
Omar Abidi- I love this guy for the same reasons I love Alex Rodriguez's work. He's intricate, fun to listen to, and has a unique style that easy to pinpoint. Also it's because of Omar and Alex I picked up a double kick pedal. | | 9 |  | Death Cab for Cutie
Transatlanticism
Jason McGerr- dude can make even simplistic beats feel jazzy and complicated, and he's a super nice guy too. | | 10 |  | Blur
13
Dave Rowntree- slower yet intricate drum work that never tried to steal the spotlight. Not much else to say but he's the drummer to one of my favorite bands, so how could I not love his work? | | 11 |  | Muse
Absolution
Dominic Howard- dude's unique in that he's one of only a few left handed drummers, and seeing as I'm left handed too, I relate to that. Plus his work is some of the most fun to play along to. Just look at hysteria or assassin as an example | |

08.18.16 | I had explanations for them all but the damn site bugged out on me, so I'll add them later | 50iL
08.18.16 | 5 is in my top 15-20, good job. 1 is also great but hasn't really influenced me too much.
Drumming is amazing. That feeling you get, oh my. There's nothing like it.
Probably the reason why I've been playing 6 years. | 50iL
08.18.16 | No, you're right. He actually uses very original (not necessarily complex) beats that fit the song amazingly. Very versatile, too. Listen to the drumming on OKC and then to the drumming on the electronic kit in Kid A. The drumming is different but the feeling couldn't be better on either. He also knows how to get the best out of hybrid kits and add different textures and dynamics. | theNateman
08.18.16 | I'm pretty sure Selway's my all time favorite drummer tbh. I mean he switched up his style practically every album it's really fantastic to listen to.
Plus he makes more out of nothing but a kick a snare and a hat than anyone else I can think of | 50iL
08.18.16 | Yeah, really creative guy. | theNateman
08.18.16 | I updated the descriptions just so you guys know.
Anyways | Rowhaus
08.19.16 | Kickass list dude! I always thought the drumming on 11 was excellent from a noob standpoint. | Deathconscious
08.19.16 | Reckoner has one of my all time favorite drumming performances. That cymbal work. | theNateman
08.19.16 | Rowhaus, 11 is probably one of one's I'd recommend a new drummer play along. He has both complex and easy stuff, and all of it is really fun to play along with.
Adolf dude, right? |
