100% agreed! This man is cack, and so is his snare sound.

This is false. "Mogwai Fear Satan" suggests that Martin Bulloch is a good drummer and not a cack one. If you find the 17-minute mp3 of them playing this tune in Roskilde, I bet you'll change your mind. Plus, this drumming is not found on Spiderland.

"Hunted by a Freak" is strong, too. But going to a Mogwai show in, say, March of 2006 when they don't play MFS and Bulloch hits like he has arthritis, is not.

I saw Steve drum for Flour a long time ago at Dreamerz. He hit that stuff HARD. First time I ever saw Brick Layer Cake. It was a fine evening.

^I never heard Jason drum, but I have been around for some of Kip's tantric drum tuning sessions. ^

^=rimshot!
I am hysterical.

Those are some sexy dames. And that guy - fuck. I want to bang him.

Robo of the Misfits and/or Black Flag. Tempo, anyone?

Don Bolles from the Germs. Now, I have heard rumors that the Blackhearts played all the music on "GI" and I believe it after seeing videos of Don whacking the cymbals, and yes, this was post- GI.. What a poor drummer. Speed and alcohol don't mix.

P.I.L.'s drummer on Second Edition... Who is this? Jeanette something? Well Jeanette sucks. I suppose I can excuse it as performance art. But it is no Martin Atkins.

Grant Hart for most of his career, especially there at the end of Husker when he was a strung out barefoot junkie. Too bad. I liked Huskers. Junk and drumming is a bad idea.

Lars Ulrich, I'll second that for the ninth time... and to think it takes them a week and a half to get a rack tom sound to tape? Asshole. That horrid Metallica video where they bicker and bicker in the studio for like 36 months (with Bob Rock applying his "crafPt") makes Lars (and everyone else in that band) look so pathetic.


... and lots of K Records band drummers from the early to late 90's were atrocious. Too many to mention..

Are you nuts? Or sarcastic?
Those girls are so LA it's scary and he's wearing a guns-n-roses t-shirt with an elvis belt buckle.
I shudder.

Sarcastic my friend! Sarcastic!

Cripes, I can't believe I came off as serious there. You must have a very low opinion of me.

Oh, now. Guys usually just lose their brains when it comes to strapless tops. I have nothing but the highest opinion of you, Mr. si-maro with the ass-kicking rock band.
