Thanks for being understanding. Let me try to clarify what my point was. There's a difference between listening to great music and listening to great drummers. Honestly, System of a Down is one of my favorite bands. However...their drummer isn't that great. Granted, he's an okay drummer, but his drumming isn't too great or influential.
I just thank God nobody's brought up Neil Peart yet...

You need to open your music selection a lot wider if you think that they're "Where the drumming is at". They may have helped form the foundation of rock drumming, and hell yeah I give so much credit to them, but they're getting outdated. More and more drummers are getting better at the instrument.
Again, it's not about music. It's about great drumming.
Just by saying they're getting outdated...that has to be the most backwards thinking I've heard. You're telling me Buddy Rich isn't still the best Jazz drummer?
:Take a look at the band Rx Bandits. They put on the best live performance I've ever seen and the music never stopped once. Their drummer would rip Bonham, Copeland, and Moon all new ones.
You...can't be serious...
Compare. Contrast.
And yes, I did watch a lot of the Rx Bandits.
