I know you might hate me for putting Pridgen on the list, but I have never been a fan of his work. Sorry :cry:

I can see why a lot of people don't like Pridgen. He's sloppy, goes absolutely insane on the kit, uses the most unusual syncopation known to man (that purposely sounds offbeat I guess you'd say). He's really not tasteful at all. I love the guy though, lol.

What two drummers would you like to see in a drum solo battle?

Danny Carey v Mike Portnoy. Just because everyone tends to compare those two to each other.

If the competition was "Who looks more like a Child Rapist?", then yes I agree.

SNAP!!! I don't think Portnoy could hold my attention for more than about 3 minutes... Carey could probably solo out for 10 and still hold me somewhat..
I know he's known, but we got new posters etc.. so uhh

Dylan Elise.. Everyone be aware of this guy.

Don't know how I missed this thread earlier:

I was wondering what everyone thinks of Gospel's drummer Vincent Roseboom. I just wanted to get the drummers' opinions on him. I think he's a pretty insane drummer, his fills sound pretty complex, and though his style is busy, he's hardly over the top.

On that subject screamo has some really great drummers. Probably my second favorite is Funeral Diner's Matthew Bajda

Thanks for the links Dipsoid, I'll listen to them soon and let you know what I think.
