the drummer
who was the drummer?
the guy with the afro and beard
the guy who was talking about dave playing round about midnight
Quest Love, a member of The Roots. His real name is Ahmir-Khalib Thompson. He's possibly the best drummer in the business.

No where near the best drummer in the business...Travis Barker wins that by far...but...He is actually pretty awesome...i am no fan of rap...but i do like him and most of the people in the movie.

?uestlove is the best drummer in the business at least top three
shareI love it when "non-drummers" try to discuss drumming and drummers.
It makes me laugh - Much in the same way Keanu's acting makes me laugh.

On EVERY SINGLE forum in the world that has a section related about drums in it you get some idiot/noob/non drummer saying something like this about Travis Barker (or maybe joey jordison) , I come here hoping for a change of pace and damn they seem to be following me even here! Travis Barker is an extremely famous, but is just above average drummer, for those who dont know
?estlove is the mans name (as said before) an he amazing drummer, his insanely tight grooves and timing (and the man has some darned good chopz aswell lol) are just so good. The Roots we're sweet aswell
you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?

Travis would have been cool if he stuck with the Aquabats. That was when he was his best. Now he's a prick/douchebag.

Yeah you're wrong there buddy. Questlove is the most coveted and respected drummer in the industry and by people who actually know *beep* Travis Barker is good, but not even worthy to lick the sweat off of Quest's throne.
shareHe's the best hip hop drummer.
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach...
come on...
it's ?uestlove.
Not Quest.
Does anybody know who Dave Chappelle's publicist is?
shareomg im sorry whoever thinks travis barker is the best is retarted, love is awesome himself but there completly different it is impossible to compare them, barker plays with quick fills and just about quick everything whereas love is the opposite, id say that love is the best at what he does and barker just sucks
sharebarker? that was a joke, right? there are thousands of drummers that can play like him. but there is only one quest love.
shareTravis Barker is no where near the best drummer in the business. He is good, but way overrated. He could never match the groove or feel of ?uestlove. As far as the best drummer in the business goes, try Steve Gadd or Vinnie Colaiuta.
What's left to say he was ever here at all?
this is the truth!@!!!!
shareAs much as I love ?uest, there are way better drummers. The Roots make some amazing music though.

I've always enjoyed Quest love. but I'd bet he'd give props to:
Ringo Starr(Beatles)
Clyde Stubblefield and Jabo Starks(James Brown)
John Bonham(Led Zeppelin)
Art Blakey(Jazz Messengers)
Keith Moon(the Who)
and possibly 2 of my favorites:
Levon Helm(the Band)
Phil Collins(Genesis)
Alright - heres the deal. The best drummer alive, right now, is without doubt, jojo mayer. As far as groove, timing, speed, polyrhythmic ability, and technique, i havent seen anyone come close. He does jazz, jungle, hip hop, and i havent seen anyone better, short of buddy rich. And if anyone says theres a better drummer than that, your opinion is invalid.
share"everyone's forgetting about the legend that is phil collins"
I mentioned him in my 1st post 12 posts ago...
Jojo is the man, but go listen to Quest's break beat on the end of the song The Roots do with Erykah Badu called "You Got Me." So freakin clean and full of chops. So smooth and clean it is IN-HUMAN.

lets not forget:
Neil Peart (Rush)
Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience) (possibly the best drummer ever)
and Jules Rodino (Blue Oyster Cult)

amen brother
what these people have in common as does the radiohead drummer and ?estlove, is that they aren´t necesarily the technically best drummers around (although some may be) what they do best is play what the song requires them to play, what flows, grooves doesn´t jar with what the band is doing, becoming a part of the music, that is what a musician does, and great drummers to me, are great musicians.
ps. same goes for Josh Freese, although he is mostly a hired gun, he knows his way around a kit, and never goes over the top (vandals no included in this statement)
