No and no. No disputing, this one goes to the man who invented and set
the standard for ska drumming, Lloyd Knibbs.

Lloyd Knibb - he practically invented the ska beat
Ted Moll - his drumming ALWAYS makes me feel the beat.

Is that the guy with the knappy hair? If so, I'd have to agree, or at least
give him quite a bit of credit. When I saw them tonight, I was watching him and
going, "Damn, I ought to start a best drummer thread on ams, because this guy
is good."

Looking for the latest RTM&TCP release, I heard it was the best ska record
EVER.

I'd like to point out that the standard for ska drumming, as it has
been, sucks. I hate ska drumming, it's boring. I play drums, and I want
to fall asleep whenever I play it. But there are some good drummers who
play ska, like, the guy from MU330. Also, the drummer from the band
Monkey (his name escapes me at the moment), he is fucking amazing. And I
always thought that Chuck Phelps from Skankin Pickle was neat.

The funny thing is, I named both these fine gentlemen as my fave
drummers.

Ted Moll is the best, but the guy from the suicide machines is damn good
too.

even though i think he left the band, and not to mention they are not
really ska, the drummer from the suicide machines is amazing, watch
him live, he is awesome

The Allstonians' drummer really stands out in my opinion... I dunno what
I'm talking about but on the Allston Beat I find myself actually
listening to the drums more than anything else.
Neville R. Hurworth
it's weird - before you start drumming, you don't seem to listen
carefully to drummers and you don't appreciate how good they are. I
suppose it's the same w/ any instrument. But Ted is one _hell_ of a
drummer. And he's fucking good looking too... - added bonus.

It's interesting that someone else posted that ska drumming is boring.
There's nothing more or less boring about ska drumming than any other
drumming. You can decide to play just about whatever you choose. Most
ska drummers play fairly interesting things compared to the average song.
Besides, unless you're frickin' Dave
Weckle, Dennis Chambers, or the imfamous Niel Peart, drummers that try
things that are supper crazy have a tendency to make the music sound
slopy...especially live. An average drummer goin' out of his way to be
unique and interesting often lags or rushes the time so much that the
band ends up sounding pretty bad.
Some people don't mind, or seem to care about timing, but in the
end it is very important for a good solid sound. y

Yeah, although Lloyd Knibbs has set the standard of original ska drumming,
I also agree with Bates on this one... Michael McDermott is definitly a
good drummer and has made Skinnerbox one of the better bands that it is.

Kelly VanCamp from Engine 54 is amazing. He plays really complex ska
drumming, which I used to think was an oxymoron.

His lack of fills is what makes him so good. He just sits waaaaaay back on
the beat and grooves. The hi hat provides all his dynamics because of his
laid back style, he's not about hammering out the beat and rocking out. He
gives more of a jazz drumming approach to ska.

If you're bored with standard "ska" drumming stick in some of those jazzy
tom things that the big band drums did all the time. You'll even help
make your bands sound unique.

ARRRRRRRGH!!! Out of all the bands I listen to, Luis Zuluaga is the worst
drummer!! His style pisses me off - hih hi-hat is so loose and wussy, and he
barely ever does any good fills... The best ska drummer was is and always will
be Lloyd Knibbs.....you just cannot beat his mento style.....he rocks....aside
from him, the drummer from Hepcat (forgot his name) is pretty damn good.

SKA 1964, YOU JUST DONT KNOW! LUIS ZULUAGA IS ONE OF IF NOT THE MOST ORIGINAL
DRUMMER THERE IS TODAY! YES WE ALL KNOW THAT THERE WILL NEVER AN EQUAL TO
LLOYD KNIBB BUT PUTTING LUIS DOWN JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT UNDERSTAND HIS STYLE IS
INFANTILE TO SAY THE LEAST. AND TO YOU SEAN I FINALLY AGREE TO SOMETHING YOU
HAVE TO SAY.
Hally Lyn
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY NO ONE HAS MENTIONED EDDIE OCAMPO IN THIS LIST! EDDIE BLOWS
AWAY ANY AND EVERY DRUMMER THERE IS TODAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LLOYD KNIBB.
LISTEN TO THE VARIOUS STYLES HE USES ON "BACK WITH A NEW BATCH" AND THAT ALONE
SHOULD TELL YOU WHO THE BEST IS.

I saw this band once... they weren't ska, in fact I really didn't like their
sound, they really, really
sounded like Nirvana. And I don't mean that they played grunge or whatever,
I mean I think they
actually just played Nirvana songs. But the drummer - this dude was going
fucking nuts! His arms
were moving all over the place like freakin' gumby! It was one of the
coolest things I've seen!

I like the guy from the aquabats.

Mephiskapheles' first drummer, Mikal Reich, rocked!
Maddogs1
My vote's for "The Virgin", Mephiskapheles' 1st drummer.

Definitely Greg Narvas, former drummer for Hepcat. sigh...
