if you ask for top tier drummers and feel the need to exclude a small list of them then you have answered your own question.

>>62417287
here
Zach Hill is the first person that comes to mind when I think of good drummers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCWiogdCMY0
Also if you can ignore what band he's in, Carter Beauford is a great drummer.

That's fucking sick dude. That video is always like the first thing I think of when people talk about drum corps, the whole solo just fucking spot on. Also, nice Jim Chapin. The one video where he's talking about how some guys would play double strokes essentially trying to make the second stroke louder, I always remembered that, it made my diddles clean as fuck when I was on snare in high school.
>>62417882
Hate to say its such a common choice, and I do love David's 09 solo, I love Kaito's 2012 the most
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4QpBQK7fcQ (although in my opinion the snare sounds a bit... off)
>>62417782
Same, and being that the only corps even close to me is OC, I'm probably going to get my cymbal skills up to snuff and go for a WGI Line.

there's a brazilian metal drummer that hits really fucking hard and can play really fast and most importantly, articulate. he's sick as fuck but I don't remember his name unfortunately. I know sickdrummer youtube channel featured him once. I just can't find the fucking video
I haven't listened to much metal in a while so I'm pretty rusty with drummers there.
anup sastry is sick as fuck too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2pQo3MMSFY
>>62418059
hell yeah, I actually just taught a group of 8th graders about double strokes yesterday and have them practice and learn exactly that, taught them about three basic stroke types, full down and up and had them work on that for a week, then singles at full for a week, now they're working on up down (accent) double strokes. gonna give those kids some chopz
>>62418111
thats awesome man! good luck indoor is fun as fuck
>>62418198
i never liked his playing. very intermediate. I'm glad he's getting exposure though
>>62418242
that was pretty comedic, thanks
check out this dude's channel, he's pretty fucking good too
https://www.youtube.com/user/jeffJRrandall

Anyone in these threads actually play drums? I needs recs for new shells, bass drum, rack toms, two floor toms. Got a nice Blacrolite with evans onyx heads on it, sounds alright but I'm looking for something crisper and cleaner.
>>62418894
What's your price range?
>>62419000
Up to $600 USD, I like the sound of maple. I play psychedelic rock, dream pop, and black metal.
>>62419047
That is a little low. Gretsch Catalina Maple is pretty like, the one in the OP is that set up, it was $695 a few years back for 7 shells, nice punch with Remo or Aquarian heads.
Maybe a Yamaha stage custom maple, less shells but great full sound for also about $700
>>62419112
Scratch it then, up to $800, that's how much I'd spend on a PC and I'd rather have a drumkit.
>>62419152
Gretsch or Yamaha would be your best bet. Great sounding kits for the price
Can we include basketball jersey?
>>62419152
You could also look into bebop kits that are like 300 bucks. But I don't think it'll really fit black metal lol
>>62419210
Cocktail kits*
Bebop kits are actually really pricey
Andy Ward of Camel is pretty fucking underrated, his drumming is fast as shit and sounds great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FT3xzk798
>>62419266
Yeah he's great, overshadowed by monsters of the time like Tony Erksine, Clark, etc which kind of makes sense. Also I don't remember his name but the drummer for gong and Steve hillage is dope too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iiy5K81qvbg
>>62419519
Thanks for the bumps
>>62419210
Well the one I have now is a fender starcaster. It's got onyx heads on it, the only one that sucks is the floor tom, too boomy with anything except super high tuning. Should be alright with black metal if I record it with shitty mics. Problem with it is there's no real customization, the toms are built into the bass drum and cannot be configured to be comfortable to play, for anyone.
>>62419567
Wot
Got a pic?
I've never seen a tom mounted to a bass drum like you've described
>>62419567
Just in case you don't know, top head controls tone, bottom head control resonance. So drop the bottom head, tune rope head to desired pitch (or thud)
Invest in drum dots, they're heavy duty moon gels and cut all the overtones out.
>>62419748
Tune top head**
>>62417257
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAc896Xy2qU
>>62420257
Saw them live a few years back with Devin Townsend. Great show, gojira has an incredible sound, his drums sounded fantastic. I don't like watching him play though, his technique is so flaily and shit
Great drummer though
>>62419608
the barebones kit makes me panic
>>62420453
I'd give my left nut to see them live. Nobody I want to see ever comes to my flyover state and I really can't afford to take the time off work to see them anywhere else.
>>62420530
Yeah that's looks terrible. Gretsch or Yamaha. Probably Yamaha though
I'm a rebel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K2aynMMBpo
Any drum head recs?
>>62420786
>>62420786
Ambassador coated for snare drum. If you need more durable head, emperor X (double ply)
Aquarian heads in general are great for toms.
Evans G1s and G2s for toms too
Remo power stroke or Aquarian super kick for the bass drum
>>62419383
Pip Pyle or Pierre Moerlen?
>>62421048
I like em both. I'm pretty sure it's Pip who I had decided on earlier on though
>>62420530
While that's not an optimal drum set any decent drummer could have a lot of fun with it. What that kit really needs is serious rearranging more than anything.
>>62417782
>I'm sorry you can't do the same anon
And there it is.
Buddy Rich was pretty good
>>62422401
Can you name 100 plus drummers off the top of your head? No? Okay.
>>62422721
Why do I need to? It's not about the sheer number of drummers you can name.
If you can explain to me why it is, then fair. Until then, focus on your own playing instead of just measuring drumsticks.
>>62422941
I've been focusing on my own playing. For about two decades.
And obviously it was a response to your "and there it is" in reference to "oh THEY just compiled a bunch of links and are just dumping them" when it wasn't that at all. Hence, I'm sorry you couldn't do the same.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjQ5PdFr3bM
>>62423050
I was talking about your condescending tone, and I'm not even the original guy you were talking to. And again, why does it even matter if you can name 100+ drummers?
>>62423097
Yes it's sooooo condescending.
What part of the last comment didn't you understand mate? Some loser thought multiple people compiled links to dump. It was just myself throwing out as many people that I knew had influential recordings and distinct sounds styles and voices within the drumming world. Christ
I'm sorry he couldn't do that. He couldn't and figured no one else can because he can't.
>>62423129
"They" is just a gender-neutral way to refer to people in the third person, either singular or plural. If English isn't your native language then I can excuse that since it can be confusing, but you're still being a bit of a cunt and jumping to conclusions based on your assumptions.

nice one hypocrite also way to contribute to the thread.
>>62423327
One assumption turned out to be pretty true, though...
And you're not a cunt for assuming, you're a cunt because you're a cunt.
As I said:
>you're still being a bit of a cunt AND jumping to conclusions based on your assumptions
>>62423390
oh no you said i'm a cunt so i guess it's true
you're the all knowing eye and you've yet to post anything drum related
>>62423405
I don't want to contribute to your thread. I was going to but then realised you're a cunt.
And no, my word isn't law, but in my eyes you're acting cunty, so to me, yeah, it is true.

>>62424131
he's alright at best. not on par with pretty much anyone posted in the thread thus far
>>62423900
I fucking love his playing in Naked City
>>62424192
Yeah it's sweet as fuck.
I'm kind of indirectly learning from him through my drum professor/teacher who was taught by Joey when he was in college. So slight bias towards him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgzSP05q0as
meme band drummer is actually really fucking good. he used to play a lot of math rock so he does have talent, not just speed
>>62424255
yes, he's been posted atleast twice already. "meme ___" is dumb
he's a one dimensional drummer though so it's pretty much just speed and I wouldn't call 8 hours of practice a day for 6 or 7 years straight "talent" call it what it is, hard fucking work
>>62424306
dont get me wrong i dodnt think they are an actual meme. i love them but people here dont always agree. but yeah he doesnt have a "gift" or anything hes just amazing and he worked for it
I feel that Michael Giles is underrated. Zach Hill was already mentioned here.
Another underrated drummer is Bill Ward.
