  • Good ol' PRIMUS. Primus sucks.
    If you didn't notice, this was somewhat loosely interpreted. From my experience, Primus drumming seems to have a lot of the ad-lib approach. So you might hear a thing or two stick out.

    Tim "Herb" Alexander's grooves and drum patterns always blew my away. Primus is probably one of the best "modern" power trios. Larry Lalonde is an incredible guitarist and Les….well he's Les.

      Well, actually, Jay Lane wrote this part, played it extremely well! While I love both Jay and Tim, I think my favorite drummer that's been with Primus is definitely Bryan Kei Manta! His grooves live and on both the Brown Album amd Antipop are some of my favorite!

    During those fills you were so deep in the groove pocket, like the deepest part of the pocket, and you just stayed there... you made a sandwich, watched some TV, took a nap in the pocket... got your mail transferred to the pocket because that's your new primary residence.... That's how fucking deep in the pocket you were LOL xD

      @RalAngelov 6 лет назад +18

      I would rather say he is not very active on the media... like some other guys like "Corey Taylor" from... I don't want to mention the band actually. Anyway... he is really not underrated drummer... I've never seen drummer saying Tim isn't a monster behind the drums.
