RS-Glan Kotche #82 all time best drummer

82. Glenn KotcheJohn D. Shearer/BEI/Rex

Surrounded onstage by what bandleader Jeff Tweedy calls his "in-Glenn-tions," Glenn Kotche brings Wilco an orchestral percussionist's sensibility, an indie rocker's experimental urges and some solid dad-rock chops. Kotche, who joined the band in time for their sea-change album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, has outfitted his kit with a vibraphone, MIDI effects, gongs, a hubcap, tuned antique cymbals, pellet-filled ping-pong balls and an air tube connected to his floor tom. He sometimes "prepares" his drums by laying chains on them or scattering beads and rice across drumheads. In his own compositions, Kotche explores accidental and coincidental rhythms (i.e., unintentional polyrhythms) in collaboration with So Percussion and other adventurous contemporary music ensembles. "I think he's one of the world's greatest drummers," said Tweedy, "and we have an incredible musical trust." To which the Jim Keltner–John Cage hybrid would reply, "I'm there to serve the songs."

That's why lists are for those that make them and nothing else. They had Terry Bozzio at 17 and he entertained me for over two hours with nothing more then his solo drum play.

Has the dad rock descriptor turned in to and semi ironic statement? Seems to be used in a nice way here...

Who even knows anymore at this point. Dad rock, schmad rock

I have a hard time believing there are 81 drummers better than Glenn. But I'm just a fan of dad rock, so what do I know?
