  1. I only skimmed through this, I'm a drummer of 23 years. As a teenager, I'd play "Achilles Last Stand" a lot because it's so fun, lots of changes, things to remember, and I always wanted to play things note for note - at least until I learned it, and then I could change it to fit my style.

    As for feel, I think his best is "Stairway to Heaven" - especially when he's on the ride.. Listen to those ghost notes, the playing the snare... perfect.. I don't like the robotic feel of Neil Peart. There's a lot more to dynamics and feel than starting quiet and getting louder. You can play 20 notes at different volumes, and hitting the drum in different spots to give a different sound.

  2. I have a simple test -- I listen and whatever moves the most, whatever is soothing to my ears, heart, mind - wins..

    I like Hendrix, but I rather listen Jimmy play. I think he's the greatest guitar ever.

     

    ... going to listen to "Achilles Last Stand" - so much emotion, it's too much sometimes, so much greatness for over 10 minutes.. I wish I could thank him somehow.

  3. Neil sounds nothing like Keith.. Bonham seems to have been his biggest influence, whether he wants to admit it or not..

    Besides Bonzo, Moonie, Buddy, I love John Densmore - great feel. Ginger was a big influence on Bonzo, and I also like him.

    Nice to have some fellow drummers around! I should check out the musician page!
