Dave Grohl - Best Drummer in the World Tribute 

Actually paraphrasing Beethoven, but still cool.

No passion, no ❤️ all about the love you have for music

Music is all about passion. That's what makes the best musicians what they are.

Passion doesn't mean you are good 😂

He just copied Cobain completely like a parrot but then forgot everything after he died and started pumping out boring shit.

It's just something about his playing that makes it sound like heaven

kolt kimbley I think it's the fun he has with it. Simple, innocent fun is the best thing that can happen to anything.

+Vezonmodder The great thing about him, is even he admits that. He has said that Taylor is a far more technical drummer than he is. Grohl has this raw energy that makes him so freakin awesome. And, he's a pretty rad dude. Just my .02

+Vezonmodder Im just suprised how he hasn't snaped his neck from all that jumping and flayling around ...

+Vezonmodder He sure kicks ass on them drums.

He’s like a Paul McCartney of the 90s. Revolutionary band to start good music after and a consistent musical presence.

My hero too

There goes my hero!

Yes sir

You’re

Thank you for having great taste seriously

Lol I've known Dave since he was about 16 years old. All us locals knew that he was going places! When he comes back in town we all get together for a drink! And he is truly the same dude inside & outside! We all love our Dave!

Nathaniel Julius your 100% correct. I saw Dave at a drum clinic with Steve Smith, Dave Weckl and Louie Bellson! He’s a class act! He actually said to the crowd “ why am I here with these great drummers” lol! Dave is very humble he knows he’s not the greatest but really, who cares! He’s great at what he does that’s all that matters!

He's been in a shit band for the last 23 yrs. that's all that matters.

Greg McFarland Comparing drummers and trying to decide who’s best is actually pretty ridiculous. I’m not trying to be a jerk. But everybody has different preferences. As far as technique goes you don’t get much better than guys like Dave Weckl and Simon Phillips. That’s measurable. As far as the ability to bring a song to life and make it shine - that contributes to greatness too. But again there’s no such thing as the world’s best drummer. It’s like the world’s best pizza. Who decides? I like mine with pineapple.

@@funmakers2093 We all know the greatest of all time is definitely Buddy Rich, still, you're right, I might like some better that you don't like that much and viceversa

@@brandonvandelden7972 That shit band just turned 25 a week ago, and is one of the best bands out there, whether you like it or not. He's got some of the greatest musicians ever in there, who have played for the best, and you're just in your shit-hole house being a nobody, or are you a better drummer/guitarist/bassist/keyboardist/vocalist than they are? No? That's what I thought ;)

the "best" musicians aren't the ones who can do the craziest solos, the "best" are the ones who put their soul into the music they play. The ones who serve the song and put all their energy into it.

Same

Amen! do you know I found out about Them Crooked vultures well, I heard the name on a College radio station but I never actually heard their music and I didn't know that it was Josh Homme and Dave Grohl. and I found out about them watching a nandi Bushell video of her accepting the challenge to do the Them Crooked vultures song and I was blown away twice because this girl is so incredibly talented and dedicated and it was just a really amazing moment .it was utterly amazing and to find out that there was more music from Josh Homme and Dave Grohl? Oh yeah! so that was a double whammy and a great day for my musical experience. Iff you don't know about nandi Bushell I strongly suggest you Google that name and be blown away by her, by Dave , by the amazing Dedication that you're going to witness. And a final nod to Josh Homme- Man, you are among the highest echelon of musical creators. You are a Titan, and I thank you for your contribution to my life and music history. EXCELSIOR!

@@joshkirkwood8945 I can't believe you just left out John Paul Jones, co-founder of the band that literally influenced both Dave, Josh and millions of rockers around the world xD

@@aaronwalker1678 yesyes. My fault

@@dee3bee and Alain

Oh yes

STFU....with cliche answers

Stop talking saying we when discussing the greatest drummers in the world; you sound like a bellend.

There are SO MANY HUGELY talented drummers that just do their thing. Love Dave, love them all!

Finally someone gets it!!

I've been drumming for 70 years. I am now 100.

Like those things owed him money

@Skimbiddley Honestly, and as a HUGE fan of t00l & Foo - I dont know who is better. You watch both and think "Do they replace all the drums after every show?"

@Skimbiddley a virgin opinion

Danny Carey, Jimmy Chamberlain…

@@SatanDynastyKiller Thats Mr Danny Carey my good sir.

Same babe. A master of drums, guitar & good enough vocalist. I saw nirvana live in 91 & couldn't take my eyes off him. The night ended very well!

Do you know what song it is?

What's the name of the group and the song?

@@aries0784 the band is called Them Crooked Vultures. But I don’t know the name of the song unfortunately

@@caprise-music6722 Spinning in Daffodils

He has, but sarcastically

Orlaylay Crawford If that's you...you are hot

simon parker wow really dude, thats just low.

In his recent 60Minutes interview, the guy said "some people would argue that you're the best drummer of your generation" and Dave said "well... I disagree with that"

he's not billy corgan xD

I love Kurt as much as the next guy, but Dave really helped out. Kurt was going to go places no matter what because he was a great song writer. A musician to the core; heroin addiction, embarrassment over commercial success, the whole 9 yards. Still there's no denying the drumming in Nirvana was perfect.

Says you.

Well if you wanna keep playing this game, more people say the opposite since Nirvana had several #1 singles and to this day sell thousands of copies of their 4 studio albums. It's a matter of taste, I thought you were playing. You cannot deny talent just because it's not your style of art. Except maybe that guy who gives himself paint enemas then couches over a canvas... But even him, it's true art - he's making a statement. He's saying "Postmodernism is stupid with blocks of color and scribbles that look like a child drew it, *I could pull better art out of my ass for God's sake* " And that's exactly what he did lmfao.

***** I see you're not familiar with sarcasm... I don't care to read the stats of a few commercially successful Seattle bands. It was boring as fuck, and besides: there was probably amazing talent that didn't get lucky, so arguing over just the bands who got a record deal is not very relevant. All my point was is taste is subjective, and you even want to argue that! Through some sort of subconscious bullshit lol.

Bleach was pretty amazing. This is coming from a guy that loves Dave on drums.

Someone gets it at least :p

***** Agreed. : )

WILL FERRELL IS THE BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD

moresnare 99% subjective. And then, you bring in Neil Peart's drum, and then we all shut up, and worship.

Dave Grohl Oh Dave, you are good, no question. But what about your buddy Taylor Hawkins? I have a theory about why he's so skinny----he burns 5000+ calories laying down drum tracks for FF songs. He's good too, no question.

you're kidding

No man I'm not, I almost feel like their the same person. heh

I wasn't asking, I was saying

I don't see it.

It's been a joke for years man

Yeah kurt was off his rocker and up his own ass. Grohl is amazing though.

***** I agree he is amazing but saying he blows away bonzo is over the top (pun intended)

Ya, came out of the Grunge a full man

a legend in his own mind

Also it's his peers saying he's the best drummer in the world not him! Dave takes this all in stride,and is very humble I love him for that.

Well said, I agree. Dave would never call himself any such thing anyway, hes the most humble celeb Ive ever seen. Not bad for a guy whos self taught at everything.... Must have one hell of an ear....

Lars... Tommy Lee okay... The professor from Rush back in the day

@@superclean2006 The professor.Thats all you had to say

Damn right

definitely better than jimmy page

when you play drums and do a lot of metronome work consistently, you'll find the occasional 5th beat in a 4 - count from Bonham. Although it doesn't matter much. It means JPJ is a WAY better bassist than we thought...

Ummmm... nope

+crazy horse umm yep

+Abida Babida Ray Manzarek might have something to say about that.

You can just see the passion when he plays he loves it.

EWWW! 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️🚀🥁🎸🎤 EWWW⛓🛡 THERE IT IS😆😆😆😆

@JeanHill even though Keith Moon was the inspiration for Animal 🤘🤷

I'd like to learn your opinion about THE REV... )

If you haven’t found the b-sides by now: You can’t possibly begin to imagine Hwy 1 Then crooked vultures needs a new album.

Best in the world? Bobby jarzombek...

2010 with Tenacious D. 2011 he was there with the Foo Fighters

Timay F. Thanks!

Oh.. it is THAT hansol! :P big fan, big fan man! :P

You cna find the whole show of Tenacious D at Blizzcon

darude-sandstorm

Other way round..... sigh

Duh!

DO mean Nirvana drummer, foos fighter vocalist! Truly talented for someone who struggled with school!

😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@@phizzle24 r/whoosh

brian roe I guess you have never heard of Steve Gadd.

amigi968 Know him too.

+brian roe ,said this before and i'l say it again, i miss that mad bastard on drums! Makes me rabid .

+brian roe watch the danny cary drum cams....

I disagree Azazel.

Yes.

doesnt he sound like garfield?

Fuckin Kurt lmao

French for " good ham"

@vanessa im never gonna not hear that now hahahahahaha

+Bas van der Eijk which drummer? they had quite a few

+David Henderson I hope that's a joke too!

+Bas van der Eijk Dave was the 6th drummer...

+BarbzAM I know that, but he makes it sound like Dave was not in the band. When I said: ''This drummer is so much better than the drummer of Nirvana!'' I was meaning Dave Grohl himself. It's a joke. I can't believe I have to explain that hahah

but...okay nevermind hahha

Neil Peart! then John Bohnam! Buddy Rich! You must be a young buck. He is playing everyone else's songs, he can play.

David Waters I been playing for 17 years. Not a young buck. And like my last comment. I don't care.

Man... In 17 years you never studied real drummers??? RU-vid can help you a lot with that!!! Grohl isn't worth half the shit Neil Peart took this morning!!!

Then go watch a Neil fuckin Peart video instead of preachin your shit to fans of another famous drummer, ass. I'm stating my personal choice. Not a fucking top 10 histories best drummers. If you can't handle the idea that some people idolize Dave Grohl individually, you need to seek assistance from a professional in the head shrink department. Wanker.

Don Beleef If you're a drummer then you would know Dave Grohl isn't the world's best drummer. There is a difference between saying I think he is the best, meaning you just happen to like what Dave does, than to say he IS the best, meaning he is the best in the world. The latter is not so much about liking someone's drumming style, showmanship, etc it is about judgement based on criteria, such as technique. For example, I prefer Gene Krupa over Buddy Rich because Krupa floats my boat with his rhythms and use of toms. However, I have no bother with admitting Rich is superior. You can be a fan, love a drummers work and at the same time not contradict yourself by saying that other drummers have superior technique and skill. Put another way, there is the subjective experience of liking something and the objective judgement using criteria. I love Marc Bolan's vocals over Freddy Mercury's, but Bolan certainly didn't have the vocal range of Freddy Mercury. So what if Mercury is better technically than Bolan as a singer, I still like Bolan! What's the big deal?

Drummers cry because his cymbals sounds like total crap and his song are as boring as a snare exercise.

Jimmy page did not hire bonzo

Steve B he asked him to join the band, so he kind of did hire him. Jimmy is the founder of Zeppelin.

Bonham not such good....i don t know why always putting led zep musician.like god...technically they re not so hot...for example in.drum steward coppeland is higher..and i m not reamly fan of police..

And now Taylor and Kurt are jamming up there, 😢.

Well he was the drummer that destroyed a musical era and ushered in a completely new sound that touched millions of people and created its own genre. Or did you just forget about the little band called nirvana?

+khure Sorry but Alex is correct. DG is energetic and seems an all round good guy but nowhere near up there with the best.

I totally agree. Most people don't venture into different style drummers like vinnie colaiuta or mike portnoy or even Coleman like you said these are just a few so many that I respect and idolize as a drummer skill is way beyond energy in my opinion

Let me be perfectly clear. In no way am I saying Dave grohl is the best drummer in the world. To say any one person is the best is idiotic at best. But to say Dave grohl didn't bring anything to the music table is completely ignorant. He brought grunge to the table, which ended 80's butt rock hair bands and brought to light a completely new artistic emotion to music. If that isn't bringing something to the table I don't know what is.

+Alex Timifikator Dave is a good rock drummer. He's nowhere near a great drummer. A great drummer can play anything. Dave cannot play anything. He has no serious chops like a Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, JoJo Mayer. I'm not even talking Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, etc. He's not even on the same planet as these guys so stop with the greatest drummer stuff..

Lol

+John Mård No, that's Keith Moon.

+John Mård Thats Travis Barker

LOL

took the words outta my mouth

Derek Lucero glad to hear its obvious to you too. It all he does - ahnd shake his head. A great drummer - buy by no means the greatest. Check out "Buddy rich impossible drum solo" !! he was doing blast beats in the 80s hahaha

+Damien Percy ya man, I seen that buddy rich solo you're talking about. the man was flawless!! I don't think too many people actually understand what it is that separates a good drummer from a phenomenal drummer. in my opinion, a phenomenal drummer utilizes chops, dynamics, and technique (for ex: buddy rich, Steve Gadd, tim Alexander, ect..)all while playing with finesse and keeping it tight. Some of the skills I see on said drummers is nothing short of mind-blowing!! I'm not saying Dave grohl is a shitty drummer or anything (because triplets do sound cool and can definitely get the chicks attention lol)all I'm saying is.. any drummer who has actually studied the way drums are supposed to be played (rudiments, dynamics, over-playing, discipline, and the most important- time keeping!!) would know that what he is actually playing is very simple - but sounds AWESOME!! I've been a drummer since the age of 6, I'm now 36. I have taken a year or so off of it from time to time, but for some reason I have never been able to stop playing beats on ANYTHING with my hands, or air drumming. it cannot be stopped!! it's just in my blood lol

Derek Lucero yep bonham triplets are a fantasic sounding thing - but there are no doubles in them. very very simple - just need practice. and I hear you about hitting things - Im forever being told to shoosh because ive found a good sounding desk or a hollow spot in the floor etc etc.

+Damien Percy Yep...You're definitely a drummer!!!

KAREN CARPENTER?????? Now that's some funny shit right there!! ROFLMAO!!

Actually she was a great drummer...but my top two are Tommy Lee and Dave Grohl....just my opinion

d square Tommy Lee. Really? I suppose that's why music is so interpretive.

+Benjamin Franklin If there was one thing I could make disappear from the planet it would be cell phones.

No love for Danny Carey?

Mark Webster Not even in the same league

***** I suspected you might be losing your mind, but now I've got actual evidence!

Mark Webster Well I've never actually heard of him so I concluded that if I had to Google him he couldn't be that good. Who does he play with?

***** He's the drummer for Tool. Danny Carey - Drumming [Drumcam]

Nor bassist or guitarist or singer and the like.

@@onthe1481 all bassist are bad the same *joke*

@@onthe1481 it's impressive, but it's more for drummers than for people. It's reminds me this episode ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3CqOtEz6PfA.html

John Bonham???

@@onthe1481 what you think he ain't Good?

As far as taste and appeal(sound,technique,etc) Dave Grohl is at the top of that category

Settle down, man. It's your opinion and Kurt loved the way Dave played. Sorry it isn't the same thing to you. Don't be a petty child about it.

SirTuckerLee There is a fact that kurt cobain is the worst musician this famuous he was known for his life style not his music i respect him everyone does

SirTuckerLee derp derp, Kurt was on drugs most of the time. Nirvana songs were about as complex as nursery rhymes. In the world of great drummers, Dave Grohl would be considered average at best.

Azz1883 I love how seriously you take your opinions. No one else can have a different one, right? You need to take a chill pill.

+HockeyDrums how about Ginger Baker?

Buddy Rich

Or Dave Weckl...

Darren King?

Yep Neil Peart definitely better

Same with Ringo.
