You can pick one drummer to help you make your rock album

[Bob Zaod]

Who you going with? Tough one for me but I think it'd be Stewart Copeland. From everything I have watched and read he's a fantastic person, to go along with arguably the greatest rock drummer alive today. My second choice would be Jason Finn of PUSA. I just love his style and creativity.

Dude; your pick is my pick! One of the GOATs \m/

 

[Sleezy E]

Dave Grohl, no question

 

[FuzzyAce]

Vinnie Colaiuta or Marco Minnemann.

That is a great pick for sure.

 

[Bob Zaod]

Vinnie Colaiuta or Marco Minnemann.

I dont think I know of Marco's work but Vinnie is fire.

Mike Portnoy, he can just write, arrange and produce the whole thing.

Man, I was geeking out on some old Police live footage the other day, I barely care about Sting or Summers, I dig the Police for Copeland’s playing primarily. I don’t even know what song it was but it went into a reggae-ish section while Copeland was doing this total jazz beat under it and it was f*cking perfect.

My answer to the OP is probably Josh Freese. Other known names I absolutely love but would prefer for specific things, but if I were doing a ‘rock’ album, I’d go with Freese. Outstanding groove and if there’s one dude who fully gets the foundation/supportive role of being a drummer it’s him.

My heart says Keith Moon. My better half says Carter Beauford.

The vinyl was Kryptonite green. Love this album.

I know of him through his work with The Aristocrats, Paul Gilbert and Satriani, but he's done a ton more with other notable artists.

Super fun to play

 

[megametal7]

For me Nick Menza or Pete Webb from Havok

 

[TSJMajesty]

I like to play with drummers who sit in the pocket and play with power. Guys like Cozy Powell & Tony Thompson come to mind, but I'm sure there are others. I guess since this will never happen, it doesn't matter that I thought of 2 guys who aren't with us any longer.

 

[Sascha Franck]

Colaiuta or Grohl (depending on the style) would be my picks as well. But then, in case it wasn't all standard rock, I would happily go for Larnell Lewis or Jason Thomas (both best known from Snarky Puppy), too. I always prefer some funky bits, even if it's a rock-ish affair.

Glad to see you here, brother!!!

Well hello there, how is it hanging?

Vinnies work on the System Has Failed made me jones BIGTIME for another rock/metal album with his drum stamp on it

Rock album? Definitely Wolfgang Van Halen.

For real. I don't want no tired old farts with no tread on their tires.

And if I did have to pick an old fart with no tread it would probably be Phil Collins.

I wouldn't want "just a drummer" either.

With the stipulation that he cannot impart ANY Foo Fighters influence on the material; absolutely yes.
