Name a better, more interesting, complex, and/or technically accomplished drummer than Damon Che of Don Caballero.

Couldn't do it, could you? Damon Che is the greatest drummer ever made
>>
>>74579417
>inb4 some faggot feeds you a line about a jazz drummer
Bullshit. Don Cab is far more complex and inventive within one song than any jazz drummer is throughout any entire album. Jazz is a meme and can't hold a candle to Che. I find it hard to believe a jazz drummer could change time signatures as fast as Che could.

lol you've only ever heard hard bop from the 50's haven't you?

Any idiot can practice and learn some crazy time sig beats. It's all muscle memory.

It takes a real musician to improvise and react in the moment.
>>
>>74579693
So your standard for good music is musicians doing what you perceive to be harder? Improvisation is all muscle memory as well. Do you know how people train to be good at improvisation? Do you know anything about improvisation?

No.

Antonio Sanchez is a genius drummer. His nuance and control is unbelievable. Eric Harland is probably the only other drummer who might be his equal.
>>
>>74579769
I'm really not interested in your nothing opinion. Make a point or talk about a drummer. Your whiny bullshit about how I need to respect improvisation is tiring and banal. I'm not convinced you have one clue about why you personally believe that improvisation is so unbelievably amazing that any drummer who plays jazz is beyond reproach.

But it sure seems like you're shitposting for no reason. You get one more chance to not be a low content posting prick.

>any drummer who plays jazz is beyond reproach.
Not what I said at all.

The technique, skill, and creativity it takes to improvise fluidly is far beyond anything it takes to simply learn a pre-composed piece by heart. No competent musician will disagree with that.

>>74579417
I like Don Cab a lot (especially when Ian Williams was in the band) and have seen them live multiple times in the 90s. They were one of my favorite bands in the 90s and I've worn out my WBNR and II CDs from playing them so much. Damon's a very interesting drummer - his greatest asset is his imagination and daring to build near-melodic structures from his drumiming.

But you are extremely naive and ignorant in believing that he is more technically accomplished than literally hundreds if not thousands of of professional drummers. Just because guys like Vinny Coliauta, Bernard Purdie, Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Tony Williams, Ansley Dunbar, etc, etc, etc. chose to play more traditional roles as drummers doesn't meant they couldn't drum circles around Damon -- they could, I assure you. Damon has trouble keeping time. Fact. Part of that is because he is a drug fiend and alcoholic. Damon also overuses his cymbols to an degree that eventually turned me off of his drumming quite a bit.

Don't be daft. Don Cab's awesome for a lot of reasons, but you are making a fool of yourself by making these claims regarding Damon.

He's a great drummer. Such a spiritualist too. Hope he's doing well
>>
>>74579417
You already answered your own question. It's Zach Hill.
Buddy Rich and Greg Fox also would've been acceptable answers.
>>
>>74580163
He's a chopmeister. He also most definitely has a strong hand in creating the pretty sweet grooves across the whole DG discography. But I haven't seen him play anything but chops, and there aren't that many videos of him out there. Sure, there are live DG videos, but he just literally sheds for an hour while the songs play.
>>
>>74579417
why dont drummers just wear gloves to prevent this?
>>
>>74582422
Somebody else mentioned this but you would have to have seriously bad technique to start bleeding, or just hit your finger on the rim/hardware of the snare drum by accident (more likely cause)
>>
>>74579457
>>74579417
damon che is one of the best of all time but he's not THE best. above him i'd put zach hill, tony williams, >>74580018, and for my tastes, greg saunier and brian chippendale

oh yeah and me
>>
>>74582422
checked. gloves are gay af
>>74582044
checked. if a drummer gets blisters that pop and bleed it's shit technique
>>74582433
checked. this is what happens, at least to me, if your drums are low (like damon che's snare, good god) it's especially likely - youre going for power over practicality at that point

>>74582413
Zh doesnt really groove
hes great, but not really a groover

He got big because he used his friends death for publicity. Every band he's been with has thoroughly hated the guy because he's a dick. He's average at everything but thinks he's got godly talent. The list is endless.

Better, more interesting; Gavin Harrison, Danny Carey, Tomas Haake

More complex; Gavin Harrison, Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Tomas Haake, Mike Mangini

More technically accomplished is always Mike Mangini. His playing isn't really all that interesting or anything, but the guy shits on every other drummer alive in terms of technical skills.

The point is this:

Give any decent modern jazz drummer a week to learn some "complex math rock" tunesand they'd do it very easily and be able to play it almost indistinguishable from the math rock drummer (though they'd probably play it cleaner desu).

Give the math rock drummer a week to prepare to sit in with a modern post-bop group and play a few tunes and the result would almost definitely be laughable.
