Wow! Lots of nonsense posted here. Peart & Bonham, neither one any good? Eric chooses a drummer so he must be the best. No, this one is the best. Nah, that one is best. And on and on it goes. What qualifies as good? At some level it becomes which & who's style you prefer. Gadd fits what Clapton is looking for. His style is right for Clapton. Nothing more. Peart & Bonham probably would not fit in with most bands. They are more than metronomes which is what a lot of melodic players are looking for. Besides, they don't want to share the spotlight. IMO, you don't get to the pro level without having talent. But you may not have the style that is pleasing to everyone. This is why you see so many different style players. That's because music itself, has so many different styles.
Drummers Talking About Drumming
Count Me In
I saw this documentary on Netflix and found it very entertaining. It's group of interviews with famous and not so-famous rock/pop drummers talking about who influenced them and why they drum. My favorite moment was Jim Keltner talking about John Bonham's bass drum. I highly recommend it!
