Hey all, so I'm new here, but I've been on a drum kick lately (thank god). I've really started getting addicted to getting better (again), and have been 'studying' the above drummers.
I really like Blakes hands, and his syncopation between the drums and guitar, you know, the way he "plays the guitar parts on the drums" from time to time. It just fits so well. This is fairly recent, and for the past couple months I've been half-assed trying to learn 'Obfuscation' from TGMD. A big problem with this, is that sometimes I find it hard to make out what he's doing. I probably should mention I only learn by ear, and also that I'm not trying to turn myself into a blake clone, but I definitely want some of that in my playing (~Progressive Thrash Metal).
Tomas Haake has always been a HUGE influence. There are times where Meshuggah enters my cd player in my truck and doesn't leave for weeks or months... some times even the same album ha!
Elliot Hoffman (carbomb) does probably the most phenominal snare work I've ever heard. Occasionally I'll throw on the Centralia album and sit behind the drum kit and fail/improv my way through the album; I've listened to it so many times that I have it memorized in my head, all the changes and feels, even if I don't actually know how to play it.
My question is this (maybe this should be in the techniques forum?):
What other drummers should I be listening to that could compliment what I'm hearing in these drummers to help expand myself on the kit? I also frequently watch Alex Rudinger on youtube, but haven't gotten around to learning any of his music.
