...and THIS is why the US is falling behind... LOL

Portney is awesome. I can never get enough of Dream Theater

I'm such a fan of thrash I gotta mention Charlie Benante of Anthrax

some of his recent magic he posted up on youtube

As much as I love Peart, Portnoy is my all-time favorite

Definitely good. Don't forget The Rev before him (reminded me since I haven't listened to them in a while). I also wouldn't exclude Keith Moon.

Barker's overrated, IMO.

I would have to agree with ^ this. I'd take the three above plus Danny Carey all over Barker.

Are you guys crazy?

It's a well known fact that the best drummer ever is Nick Mason from Pink Floyd.



Oh, and he owns a Ferrari Enzo

I think they're looking at this from a stamina and agility viewpoint.

Mason just played awesome songs as it is Pink Floyd...

[alphapig]

Was looking at it through a talent standpoint.

I play drums, and I can wail away for hours.

I'm still terrible though.

For everyone one of those, there's 10 of these:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ

So, don't worry, America is fine. (I also love this video don't tell anyone).

Gee Gee Gee Gee baby baby!

I've always liked Steve Smith.....Caught him in the 80's with journey....

You're old...

[Pento240sx]

Very Impressing.

It's a lot easier to copy than to create.

[audtatious]

Steve Smith was named one of the top 25 drummers of all time by Modern Drummer in 2001 and was voted into the Modern Drummer hall of fame in 2002.

The Japanese are really good at copying stuff. Far better than the Chinese are at it, anyway...

[skydragoness]

Don't know if anyone else mentioned it..

but is it just me or did that video look ever-so-slightly sped up? Maybe it's just the resolution..

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

THIS is why the U.S. is NOT falling behind.http://www.wimp.com/adultskids/jesus christ....was this kid was fed a diet of aristotle at the age of FOUR. I WAS LEARNING ABOUT CAT"S AND SITTING AT THAT AGE. f***.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Also...Rush is why I liked Aqua Teen Hunger Force.http://video.adultswim.com/aqu....html

And the one where the mooninites get ahold of a belt with Journey superpowers... classic.

Hold up. Hold up. Hold up.

It was the Foreigner belt.

"Cold as Ice"

understandable confusion

Goddamnit...you're right.

Wrong.

The Chinese are FAR superior at it.

They've replicated certain US-made automobiles so well, the parts are interchangeable.

They had a functional iPhone like a few days after its release.

Japan innovates. China replicates.

[Koshin]

the funniest thing Ive heard all week was some one say they were a big Rush fan.

Thanks for that
