well i just watched all the clips posted and can only imagine that your all joking. as much as i enjoyed the upside down drummer the actual drumming was very dull. difficult to do but very run of the mill gimmicky.
the funky drummer was not funky and had nothing to say with his drums at all. very dissapointing. the only good one was the affex twin i think. he was clever but i still thought it lacked a bit of feeling.
i was right in the first place.
it's not your favourite it's about the best.

In reply to DEvans: Chad Smith from the Chili's. Outstanding drummer, so much so that you dont even think about him when you listen to their music. Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante and Flea stand out as amazing musicians but you dont notice Chad Smith because there's nothing to notice, he's THAT good.
Otherwise Marco Minneman or the guy that was playing drums for John Mayer on Live at Abbey Road.

are we watching the same clips? how can you think that this guy is up with the best. i do find it quite amazing that people can listen to that and think it's great. he has some chops (which are a bit dull) and he puts them together to create a mono rythmic "solo" to a backing track of the band, ie, not a solo. where is the imagination? where is the fun, where is the reation and response to whats going on?

First drummer I ever did see was Ginger Baker drumming for Hawkwind in 1980. It's been pretty hard to top him. What lets him and Mr.Peart down is the multi-minute drum solos. No,no and thrice no. Drum solos are just fcking wrong.

In reply to DEvans:
Firstly, it isn't a solo, that's just what someone named the video. Secondly, he doesn't need to react and respond because he's not playing jazz, he's playing in a rock band. There are videos of him playing in duelling drum solos which are really impressive improvisations and others from him playing at drum clinics. I thought this one showed him up close the best.
The guy has written six-and-a-half / eight time signature metal tunes, so I don't think we can question his imagination.
There are other videos but I won't link to them as I think you already made up your mind.
Not to say your guy isn't really, very very good, of course.

In reply to DEvans: I have no idea who the best drummer in the world is, but the best drummer I have ever seen live was a chap drumming for a jazz fusion band called Steps Ahead at the Jazz Cafe.

Mike Mangini recently beat 6 other drummers in the race to replace Mike Portnoy (who can knock Peart into a cocked hat by the way) so it must be him. (as far as rock drummer go at least - for jazz I'd go with Trilok Gurtu).

i don't dought his chops, if he's the best metal drummer then i belive you. but i don't think he could do what my drummer does and my drummer could do what he does because it's just to be technique and a lot of gimmicks.

In reply to DEvans:
See, it IS all musical preferences!
I found both drummers not particularly inspiring (your OP (Weckl), and George Kollias) - and would rather listen to simple drumming like Pete de Freitas from Echo And the Bunnymen (sadly killed in a motorbike crash in 1989)
From the live gigs I saw, he had a very minimal drum kit, 4 or 5 piece, and used it very effectively, rather than a 20 piece drum kit, and waffled all over it.
I can appreciate the technicality of Weckl and Kollias, but I'd rather listen to de Freitas.
As with guitars, Satriani is a god, but I prefer Neil Young (and myself) to listen to. (although Steve Vai, I can listen to, but not Satriani, or Pat Metheny)

thats what i wanted to start, a discusion of the best drummers. but people started just saying the drummers that they liked. also they often think the style of music that they like will create the best drummers. well it's not the case. (except jazz) metal drummers have a technique for playing fast but no rhythmic identity really but thats the style of music it is. it's not about rhythm.
it would be great if people could step back from what they think and try and open themselves up to other possibilities. all with a smile on there faces.
