Not really...but I see your point and it's been debated over before.

Man, he just kinda sounds weak and sloppy all the time. I think he had an ability to write catchy songs, but his drumming seemed secondary to that and, as a result, didn't serve them as well as a stronger drummer could have.

Pavement's music does not suffer from the bad drumming. I think that it's part of the deal.

Dregs in the Crowd--you site Paul Westerburg's drumming on Hootenanny. A joke song in which the entire band swaps instruments. Hmmm.

I agree with the Alex Van Halen and Peter Criss. Both terrible.

Maybe so, but then he took lessons from Steve Jordan and improved.

I'm pretty lousy.

the guy from Swiz and Severin (Dischord/DC bands).

That guy was awesomely out of control.

That band was sloppy and tight at the same time.

The feeling that everything is about to eat shit is at least a quarter of the appeal for me.

Grant Hart: worked with him for three years (Good News For Modern Man) ... Not a bad drummer, just a songwriter who attempts to play drums along with his songs ... sometimes, not as tight as one might wish, but ... he's most-times trying to follow the river of the song with his drumming; meaning that he's drumming along to tracks previously recorded that he likes without a click-track; swimming along ... it's hit or miss, but until recently, it's been all analogue ... Protools would correct alot of what he's trying to do, but he'd barf if he saw anybody Protoolsing his tracks ....... so, you get what you get. Grant is caught inbetween technologies. Stick a mic in front of qany drummer aqnd tell them to sing the song live while drumming and then judge their performance ... Grant can pull it off (as he did for Husker Du) ...

He's not Steve Gadd ... he's Grant Hart ... love it ...

Thanks for the insight. Very cool.

Who, Billy? He made up for his lack of chops with his youthful enthusiasm.

That show was (unintentionally) a fucking riot.
