I've dabbled myself with the guitar, but I know very little about the technical aspects of drumming. My brother did some drumming back in the day, and now his son is a drummer, as well. I'm sure their knowledge would put me to shame. My brother's favourite drummers include Ginger Baker (Cream) and Charlie Watts.
Anyway, it occured to me earlier, drummers mostly provide rhythm and background noise, and that for me at least, very few make an impact, they're just part of the song. However, there are a few drummers that I consistently notice when listening to music. Honestly, I don't know what it is about them that makes me take notice, I just do.
Drummers that I actually notice and appreciate include (I know this is cliche, being Interference, but it's true!) Larry Mullen, Travis Barker of Blink 182/Boxcar Racer/(+44), Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters, and Tyler Stewart of the Barenaked Ladies.
What drummers do you appreciate? Any drummers out there that would care to fill us in on the technique of various drummers?
