Vincent Vega Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 What's your opinions of this guy as a drummer, and what should I look for by or including him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Axl Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Well....... Isn't he the drummer on NIN's Year Zero? At least he got some songs there I think...I saw him live with NIN this summer, he was rockin', a really good drummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Check out a punk band called The Vandals, he used to drum for them. I actually saw them with the offspring back in like 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Axl Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Also, I just HAVE TO mention... Oh My God, the best drum work in the history of Guns N' Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 He's considered to be pretty much the best session/studio drummer in the music industry, and has played with an absolute shitload of different artists from all different genres. DEVO, NIN, Evanescence, GNR, Good Charlotte, Cornell, Kelly Clarkson, Paul Westerberg, QOTSA, Suicidal Tendencies, Taxi Ride, Sting, and many more.Only thing I've listened to extensively is his stuff with APC, which is awesome. Doesn't do massive show-boating fills or anything, but just always complements the song perfectly. Best stuff as far as his drumming goes?... The Noose has a drum track that is subtle, tasteful and brilliant. Judith, Thinking Of You, Pet, The Outsider if you want something harder and more aggressive. But pretty much anything from Mer de Noms or Thirteenth Step is gold.And, yes, his work on Oh My God is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_B Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 he is the best. ive seen him 3 times with NIN and once with the vandals back in the 90s.he's phenominal with NIN, he adds another dimension to the year zero stuff live, when they open to HYPERPOWER! josh kills it, flawless. plus he is an awesome person, he made me a sandwich not long ago. also, he's been making insane videos whilst on tour with NIN - watch them, they're hilarious http://www.youtube.com/user/joshfreese !!!
