I've got a friend who majored in percussion and he told me that the drummer from Fear Factory uses a timer (I forget the exact jargon) so that for each pedal he presses, two sounds are created. Basically, he's creating a double bass drum sound while only having to use one pedal.

I had never heard that story. Judge for yourself:

He does use "triggers" though. Instead of recording the actual bass drum sound, his bass drum tells an electronic drummer to make a bass drum sound. Wiki says he does that because a natural bass drum sound would be too muddy.

Mike Portnoy
Not the greatest, but enjoyable.

there is no rock drummer in the top 10... has anyone here ever listened to jazz?

when I opened this thread I didn't really expect to see Elvin Jones or Art Blakey on the list. Its the same thing whenever guitarist threads like this get made and once you say john mclaughlin the conversation should always be over, except that few people have listened to him to know about his pwnage, same goes for the kit

As far as rock drummers go, few people know that Phil Collins is a freaking vat-grown drumming automaton. This is him in a drum war with Chester Thompson.

I wouldn't put krupa or rich in the top 10 for jazz.

Yeah, he should have stuck with that.

in general I would never put a big band drummer in the top ten for jazz. The nature of a Big Band vs a Small Combo group helps hide a weaker drummer in a big band where he'd get exposed big time in a combo

And for those who've never heard Meshuggah, here's a really crappy music video they did: http://youtube.com/watch?v=z5A0q63_g...arch=meshuggah

Don't watch it (it's just the band air drumming and air guitaring), just listen to the drums in it.

Early Genesis (especially the Peter Gabriel-led stuff) is great. Slight hijack, apologies.
