Great Drummer Performances

Sure, guitarists are the heroes and singers can steal a show but do you know of a specific drummer performance which stands out?

My contribution is this from Metallica at the Freddy Mercury Tribute concert at Wembley in '92. If there was ever a drummer totally "in the zone", it's here....

Re: Great Drummer Performances

you really think so?

Im probably bias, as i have never rated lars ulrich. but with a couple of timing errors at the beginning, it isn't exactly a 'great' performance. and his drumming is pretty unremarkable in itself.

that said, he does keep a tight groove for most of the song, and the drums are definitely the stand out instrument of that performance as a whole!

ill find some and get them up asap :D

I look forward to seeing what you come up with, being a drummer yourself .

I'm no lars' fanboy myself but I do rate that performance highly, for the reason it's just so much bleedin fun to watch.

Technically proficient doesn't necessarily matter to me...heck, my favourite live band is Motley Crue and NONE of them are musicians .

Re: Great Drummer Performances

A batch of freaking drum solos.

It's my own fault...I should have explained better.

Thank goodness for Anesthetise - just the kind of thing I was looking for, a song made better because of the drummer.

Re: Great Drummer Performances

Neil Peart does an amazing display on the Weapon from the rush grace under pressure show. He plays along to a click track. Red secor a also has a great performance.

I suppose when it comes to performances no one can come near Buddy Rich

Re: Great Drummer Performances

Another vote for Mike Portnoy here. There are plenty of highlights to choose from. Chose this as one of my favourite Dream Theater tracks



Gavin Harrison and Danny Carey are also great drummers.
