Favorite Rythym Section

[arther daily]

I'm sure its been said a thousand times
but i dont care becasue it rhymes
my favourite drum and bass pair
is from the red hot chili peppairs

An immensly tight drum and bass thing going on, and pretty unique sounding I think.

I like Bruford and Levin. They get into some great rythyms
with King Crimson.

Chris A,
What a treat it must have been to hang with the Feat.I met Lowell in a place called The Calderone Concert Hall here in NY around 1977 and he was pretty nuts.I always loved they're music and especially the rhythm section.Liberty DeVitto is a friend of mine(and an excellent drummer)and he said that Ritchie is a real nice guy.

GK--
It was great hanging with them. My drummer got a picture taken with Ritchie and my guitar player( who works at a camera store) got it blown up for him for an Xmas present. The gig was a couple of years ago and to this day it was one of the best experiences of my musical career. For 2 nights in a row we got to watch some serious jamming. The first night from right behind Ritchie's kit and the second night from the mixing booth.

Chris A.

Geddy, and Neil.....What, are there other ones out there????

Did anybody say Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine? If anybody thinks this band is just loud rappy noise, think again. Check out the tightness in the rythm section, good guitar player, and lyrical intellect.

I like this. Everyone always seems to hate what I like. And coincedentaly, they always express their feelings in the last post before mine. I like the rythm of Reggie and David. And if you wanna talk REAL RYTHM, then listen to SLIPKNOT. A drummer, two percussion players, and a bassist. That is some hear pounding rythm... eh? eh?

 

[toycopbassist]

well my favirote would have to be
1. brad and tim from rage
2. chad and flea from RHCP
3. the dude's from slipknot
4. reggie and dave from korn are cool too

 

[BassIsBest]

Hey bro (mega). I like Kitty too man. But you ar right about the drummer being the best part of the band. The bass player sux! I understand the wanna-be-drummer thing. He's even admitted that he is more like a drummer on his bass. That's his style. It's all good. laterz...

PS. I just got the new Warwick catalog today. Damn. Sweet. Good lord. Sweet again!!!

John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. They've been solid for a long time now.

If you wanna talk ECONOMICS(ie $$$), then let's include Hansen, The Spice Girls, 'N Sync, blahblah yaddayadda. Those "bands" & their sidemen are making more cake than PLAYERS like William Parker, Ben Allison, Torsos, Flecktones, etc. Music, not product, should be(IMO)merited on something else other than $$$; it's supposed to be an art, right?

...congrats, Brad; you have a fan!

You mean Liberty DeVitto, the guy that played on all those
classic Billy Joel albums? Man, that's pretty cool.

And don't forget, their multi-multi-platinum band that
has been going for 30+ years with different frontmen/
women was named after THE RHYTHM SECTION! I think
that's something we all need to reflect on!

 

[snfjtu]

I can't believe only one other person mentioned Geddy Lee and Neil Peart (Rush)...they make up probably the most powerful rhythm section in rock music. A close second would have to be John Myung and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)though.

 

[embellisher]

Here's another vote for Neil and Geddy.

Also, Doug Pinnick and Jerry Gaskill of King's X. They lay grooves that are a mile deep!

 

[phunky345]

How about the rythm section for Beck? That's some under-rated funk.

 

[bassman420]

Chris Squire and Bill Bruford
Chris Squire and Alan White
John Myung and Mike Portnoy
John Deacon and Roger Taylor
Cliff Burton and Lars Ulrich

Tony Levin & Manu Katche
Jimmy Garrison & Elvin Jones
