I don't really know much about drumming but one of my favorite drummers to watch is Jim White of the Dirty Three, who is now kind of an indie rock drummer for hire, playing with Bonnie Prince Billie, Cat Power, Nina Nastasia and others. He's got a very flamboyant style with big flowing arm movements. He completely upstaged Bill Callahan when playing with Smog. It's hard to find a good YouTube clip, but here he is with Dirty Three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw3GIWWiKjU

Haha, this is a timely thread revive. I spent a couple hours last night watching JoJo Mayer's dvd: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VLQMFIueUyc
The first disc is real talk, probably the best thing I've seen on grips, basic wrist/finger techniques, moeller, etc.. Then on the second disc he gets into all the push-pull/thumb swivel/crazy fast one-hand stuff, some of which is like science fiction to me. :( But it's good drum geek shit, it made me want to get into more of a definite practice routine. And the little interludes where he's playing beats outside in all these different NYC spots are nice.

Stuff like that quickly turns into chops as an end rather than a means, so I tend to tune it out.

― Hurting 2, Friday, 16 November 2007 07:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't completely begrudge him for it - there are very few drummers who can both rock and swing - I think it's just the nature of developing the wrist/hand technique for one vs. the other.

It's the way you think about music. Yeah, and if you think about jazz and listen to jazz you should probably be able to figure out how to swing a little bit.

Mike Bordin from Faith No More always had an unusual setup. He's left-handed, and plays left-handed, and the drum set is set up for a righty, with the exception of the China and the ride, which are on the left.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 December 2022 18:06 (one year ago) link
Yep that's the standard open-handed setup (see also Billy Cobham, Louis Cole, etc).
I'm a weirdo in that I'm a lefty that fully learned to play right-handed, but I more recently taught myself to play certain grooves with fast hi-hat parts left hand-lead. My independence isn't as good so I have to be careful about what I play that way though, which is annoying. And my right hand has come a long way, but will probably never be as naturally good as my left. Wish one of my teachers would have started me off open-handed!

Hell yeah! Btw I've never heard the Clean, what's a good starting point?
I was reminded today that Questlove is one of the few drummers our same situation (left-handed, but learned and plays righty). And his right hand is not slacking at all so I really have no excuse.
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 14 December 2022 17:05 (one year ago) link

Holy shit I just got introduced to that anonymous drummer that goes by Delta Empire. Chops so sick people are convinced they're a pro having fun. Mostly metal/hard rock/industrial, super technical, but sometimes fun, too. So on one hand you get stuff like this:

As much as I often hate what RHCP adds up to, yeah he's got great technique, huge sound, tons of little nuances to his playing. I often think the video of their Rock & Roll HoF performance with other former RHCP drummers -- it's one thing to see him on his own, but in comparison he's such a powerhouse.
