No strong feelings on Arika Casebolt either way.edit: oh wait, you meant it like badass right.. I read it too quickly.Yeah, that gave me pause, too. She's one of the finest drummers I've ever seen, legitimately so. Feel bad about cracking jokes about inconsistent drumming, as 90% of the music I listen to has clams allllllll over it, and personally, I've yet to "nail" a drum take during recording. So I'll stop doing that! Easy.

I can't think of a single example of a band I love where the drumming bothers me.

My earlier assessment of Janet was too harsh. I just wish she'd play a little less stiff sometimes. Quasi is still a trial to watch live, though. I can't believe anyone would ever find fault with Carla Azar's drumming--a fucking gem who always brings a unique element to the song. And that beass drum tone... Top five drummers to release music in the last twenty years. Has the Pelican dude gotten any better since this thread started?
