Re: drummer of the year I kinda agree with All Around Musician, it's hard to interpert exactly what John meant. But, if he meant it, and it wasn't just sarcasim, than I think he's a dick. I haven't heard him show off, but from listening to System of a Down song, Toxicity, he seems to transitions well between the mellow part of the song and the more up beat part of the song. And, in Lonley Day, he des a good job blending with the band and letting everyone do their thing. I'm sure it's not the only song he does it in, but it's the only example I could think of. And, I can really respect him for writing the music, too. I took a Music Theory class last year, and it wasn't easy. So the fact that him and the Guitarist can sit down and put the music on paper is really cool. |
