Top 10 of the Day: Drummer Styles.

You know drummers, don't you? Those weird guys sitting behind the band and hammering on some weird-looking stuff. They are kind of cool. Drummers have style. And now I'll present you the coolest ones.

10: The Silent Genius
He looks like an introvert average guy and performs well. Most drummers would fit into this category. They don't really care about their style, they care about their drumming.

Example: "Muse"-drummer Dom Howard.

9: The Rastaman
Rastamen are cool, especially as drummers. The exotic haircut already whispers "Hey, I got the rhythm!", and he's good at playing bongos, cajon or whatever else as well.

Example: The guy from the "Sweet About Me" video by Gabriella Cilmi. Dunno what his name is.











8: The Gorilla
Many drummers look like gorillas. Big, heavy and more or less hairy. They can be found in every genre. They don't talk much and fully concentrate on playing.

Example: Russel Hobbs, member of the fictional band "Gorillaz"

7: The Jazzer
He is cool, laid back and a brilliant drummer. Usually wears a smoking or some other retro fashion.

Example: Buddy Rich. He's awesome.

6: The Creepy One
Usually, only metal drummers are this type of drummers. They wear corpsepaint or masks, don't show any emotions and act like they rule the stage.

Example: Joey Jordison. The Slipknot guy.

5: Mr. Cool
He's arrogant, wears sunglasses and a muscleshirt, got a short haircut and maybe an earring...It's the typical type of drummer you find in bands which became famous years ago and are still popular.

Example: Larry Mullen Jr., the U2 drummer.

4: The Hat Guy
Maybe you know a drummer who wears a hat. That's a hat guy. I'd guess he's a punk rock drummer, he's got chucks, buttons and stuff. And he runs around with a cheeky smile.
Oh yeah, and he actually talks a lot.

Example: The drummer of the German punkrock band "Benzin", PBHutti.

3: The BEAST
He's wild. He's got hair everywhere. And he's loud as hell. A beast plays with full commitment and he doesn't talk, he screams. And he enjoys playing topless. But I'm sure they all have a soft spot for kitties.

Example: Dave Grohl.

2: The Total Overpunk
He's got tattoos everywhere. He enjoys playing topless even more than the beast and is skinnier. He is uncontrollable and has got a sick sense of humour and sex fetish. But anyway, he's fast. Not precise, But fast.

Example: Travis Barker, of course.

1: The Freak
He's the weirdest one. He always wears a creepy look on his face and likes dirty, totally senseless jokes. You don't want to meet this guy on the street, although he looks normal. But still, he is an absolute genius. He's got style, he's got humour, he's got everything a cool drummer needs.

Example: Tré Cool. Quotation: "I want to wash your grandmother."

Amen.

Welcome.

I welcome myself to my own blog. I will present random Top 5, 10, 25 or whatever lists in this blogs. It makes no sense, but it gives me a feeling of being important. Thanks!
