Re: Worst Prog Drummer

What defines "worst"? Can't keep time? Unimaginative? Pedestrian? Or plants too many daisies? Neil Peart plants daisies all over the garden, but he knows how to do it in such a way that you just sit back and enjoy...everything he does fits. Saw them at the NEC this past Friday for the first time (been a fan since 1977 - shame on me!!!). It's just a shame that on middle-era Rush albums (between Power Windows and Roll the Bones) drumming was buried in the mix somewhat.

Manny Elias is one of the drummers that Peter Hammill uses on solo efforts. He is often called "Manny the Metronome" by Hammill fans, and this is generally not considered to be a compliment...

John Mayhew (Trespass) or Chris Stewart/John Silver (Gen to Rev)?:thumbsup:

And speaking of Genesis, Mike Rutherford used to play drums during some of there live shows. He wasn't too bad, but...:bang!:

And then there's Peter Gabriel. He wanted to be the drummer for Genesis since the beginning. He can keep time and even played during the 'Save Peter because he's bankrupt' tour in the late 70's. But, that being said, he can pretty much play any other instrument you can name.8-q

He was on the early Tears For Fears albums.

Perhaps the Hammill fans should stop worry about the drumming and ask Peter Hammill why he sings like he's yelling at kids to get off of his property...:neener:

He's also trying to weed out all of the cloth-eared nincompoops and fans of pretty singalong music. Clearly it's working...

I wish I could say I was being original...I first saw this in the liner notes to Mike Oldfield's Amarok - his best album imho.
