Who is The Worst Double Bass Drummer Ever?


It always makes me laugh when people say certain people are "bad" or "crappy" drummers. When it comes down to it, if you are signed, touring, and have been around for over 5 years in the mainstream, how could you possibly be a bad drummer? Often people say Lars Ulrich from Metallica is a crappy drummer, which is a just a huge way to say that you don't understand music or double bass drumming. It takes talent even if you don't have the best timing to come up with drum parts and to not overplay double bass. The fact is people can't be fixed by recording, but the edges get rounded out and timing can be helped. I don't think anyone is a bad drummer, maybe if they are drunk I can make an exception, but otherwise I stand behind what I said. Also, if you don't like a certain musician or band, then why are you listening to it in the first place. Lot of critics, but then again, its not uncommon for people in glass houses to throw bricks. Style shouldn't be equated into talent, but then again, its how you equate talent in the first place that really matters.
