      C’mon man. People should stop making reckless comments. If you’re a musician most serious musicians would assume you are a listener not a player. If you do play an instrument my comment should be a wake up call and a bit alarming. I am not a know it all and do not wanna come off like an asshole, trust me! I’m just a guy that has been playing the drums for over 35 years and a bit of a multi instrumentalist but not a pro but a very serious student and I know the instrument. There are guys that will play circles around John and can do what he does very well but he can’t do what they do! We have never seen him play serious Bop and world percussion. There are guys that can do it all. Vinnie, Dave, Steve Smith, Antonio Sanchez, Adam Deitch, Billy Cobham, Marco, Dennis Chambers, about 50 Gospel drummers, and clearly Virgil Donati can be safely and responsibly called the best drummer in the world. Music is not like sports were points, runs, knock outs, and incredible feats and numbers place and rank athletes but there are similarities. Virgil Donati was doing stuff 30 years ago that was beyond anything Jon is doing today. If there was a BEST based on skill level and coordination and independence than there are not 100’s but 1,000’s of better players. Virgil and Dennis can lead with both hands and play stuff that we have not seen Jon do. VINNIE!!! WTF!!! HIS HANDS and playing level was better than JT in the 70’s. I love JT so its not like I ain’t a fan but I personally know guys that are better players…. But C’mon 😂 there are guys that can play EVERYTHING on a INSANE level and as far as I’ve seen that is not JT. Also, he’s not doing things no one else is doing, and if your into this style of playing what about Brian Tichy? He’s the only guy playing that style of John Bonham that has really expanded on it that I’m aware of. And what about Jason Bonham playing quarter notes on the bell during Fools in the rain!!! Marcus Gilmore on the other hand!!!! Holy Shit! And what about Cindy Blackman? She would light Jon on fire and blow him out the water, they are not in the same universe. If Buddy Rich was alive and you asked him who was a better more skilled drummer Jon or Cindy….? Well, we already know the answer. 😂 yo, I swear I mean well and am a very nice guy, I just take that ‘best drummer in the world” comment very serious 😂

      @@budwudd nah he's like bonham's spiritual successor plus legendary jazz fusion chops. this video doesn't exactly demonstrate that, for sure, but his role on those first 3 TMV releases (plus amputecture but his drums are mixed so damn low) was top tier for the decade and beyond. i guess his prominence in popular bands and career longevity can't really touch those other guys but his performances are proof enough for me that he pushes the art just as far as the old greats.

    John Theodore is a god and needs to be on RUclips stuff A LOT more. I haven't even seen one drum guy react to his stuff, like they do other drummers - so weird since he might be the best rock drummer in the whole game right now. He may even be the GOAT.
    Also, these two dudes need to be in a band together. For real.

    • @jdredshift
      @jdredshift 2 года назад +3

      He is undoubtedly amazing. But the GOAT? I think Danny Carey of Tool might have something to say about that 🤔

    • @mdav30
      @mdav30 2 года назад +11

      @@jdredshiftI like Tool and Carey a lot. But I think it comes down to note choice - what and when to play. I think Theodore's sense of what to play and when is better than Carey's, better fits with the song - he just nails the groove over and over again, no matter the time signature or band (in the Volta, in Queens, in One Day as a Lion). Carey plays complex stuff but not always with power in a way that grooves. Theodore really is like Keith Moon and Jon Bonham had a baby. The freedom and wildness of Moon with the power and groove of Bonham. The GOAT.
      That's just my opinion anyway.

      @randoH3000 2 года назад +2

      @@mdav30 I think it’s hard to compare the two. One plays in a more ambient band, and that’s going to completely change the timing and groove. Both styles have their place. I think people forget how important the balance of elements are, as Jon is usually a driving force for the band so his playing is a main element, while Danny’s subtle but intricate playing help accentuate the ambiance of tool while also complimenting the progressive song structures.

      I just saw the Volta live and they had a good drummer playing a lot of Theodore parts because they pulled the most songs from Deloused and Frances. But she just wasn't hitting with the force of Theodore and his ability to swing is just an X factor. Would LOVE to see them reunite - I'd be there in a heart beat.
