Derek Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 He really is, i'd rate him up there with Kris Myers from Umphrey's McGee (absolutely mindblowing, can play many, many different styles) and Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews Band (manimal is the only word i have to describe him) as the best drummers around right now, not counting my all time favorite drummer, Neil Peart. Glenn owns life. discuss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I think I would have to throw Michael Shrieve and Bill Buford in that mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Glenn is great. Beauford's good too, but listen to Dave Weckl, he blows him away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beauford's good too, but listen to Dave Weckl, he blows him away. Bill Buford is an author, Bill Bruford is a drummer. I have no idea who Beauford is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calexico Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Dave Grohl is a pretty damn good drummer. Pity the rest of his band is so shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TJ O'Pootertoot Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I would guess no one on this board has really heard of him but there's a guy up here in Toronto who is awesome and similar in style to Kotche. He also rarely stands out but uses the kit and found objects as more of an insturment than a simple rhythm provider. He produces records and now tours with Ron Sexsmith but for a long time he was in a great local band called Rheostatics who recently played a farewell show after 20 years in the biz...

Wilco LP #7 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Kotche, Drozd, and Hallahan of MMJ are the three best around. Whatstheirnames form DMB and UM are technical gods but they're WANKERS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Glenn is very gifted at what he does. Stephen Perkins, from Jane's Addiction, is one of the loudest rockin' drummers I've had the pleasure to watch play several times. His band, Banyan, often features Mike Watt and Nels from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 play nice, theshuaAgreed. *shakes the buzzkill off this thread* Bill Bruford. Is the man.I must reply in agreement with this statement as well. I saw him twice in King Crimson touring on Lark's Tongues in Aspic (in 1973!), and I was duly blown away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I'm not sure if he was talking about the bands,just the drummers.I could be wrong. Kris and Glenn are friends and wen't to school together. do you mean high school? because I know Kris Meyers went to Elmhurst College and Kotche went to University of Kentucky. I saw them both at Elmhurst College's percussion ensemble spring performance, and I think they both had the guy in charge of the program as a teacher, if my memory serves me right. But seriously, what's the hatred against The Shua? He has some good points most of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
