Matt Cameron at the Brotherhood of the Drum

yeah, a great point, btw, where did you see that abbruzzese played on the record? (i thought it came out in 2003, which wouldve been during matt's tenure, but of course i could be wrong and it couldve been recorded during abbruzzeses time)

Are you referring to the Even Flow re-record? They re-recorded it for the music video in (I believe) 1992, and Dave Abbruzzese was in Pearl Jam.

I'm not sure what you mean about 2003. When PJ released Lost Dogs (rarities/b-sides) and their best of, I know they re-recorded some older tracks but Even Flow wasn't one of them.

There are two main recordings of Even Flow. The original from Ten by Dave Krusen and the re-record they did for the Even Flow video a year or two later with Dave Abbruzzese.

I thought the Even Flow re-record was done in 2003 for the Rearviewmirror greatest hits album-it was my first time hearing it as i do not usually watch music videos

When Dave Abbruzzese joined the band in the early 90's they re-recorded Evenflow. It was played on the radio, and is also the one in the video. It has a lot more energy to it, and IMO as drummer of 25 years, Abbruzzese's version blows away Krusen's, Iron's and Cameron's. All the other versions were very flat, including how it is played today. With Abbruzzese, it was absolutely explosive.

someone please tell me what yamaha kit hes using now... for backspacer tour.

and then Dave A re-recorded even flow and blew both of them out of the water.

Yeah, Dave Abbruzzese was awesome on that re-recording of Even Flow.

But before he became part of the band, Matt Chamberlain joined Pearl Jam for about two minutes and then left to join the Saturday Night Live band. The only recording he did was the live recording of Alive on the Japanese version of Ten. Then they got Dave Abbruzzese. (Then Jack Irons, then Matt Cameron.)

Solo bueno mi hermano Matt Cameron!!!

I thought Jack Irons did a pretty sweet job in pearl jam, but Matt is definitely one of my fave ever drummers. Hes right up there with Jimmy Chamberlin and Lucius Borich.

I've been drumming for about 15 years and, although I enjoy listening to his drumming, Jack Irons doesn't display much technical difficulty or - more importantly - much creativity in his playing. In my opinion, of course.

Jimmy Chamberlin is an incredible drummer, as are Dave Abbruzzese and Matt Cameron.

I'm glad for the Pearl Jam albums that Jack Irons was on, but I don't think that his playing would have been the best for the other Pearl Jam albums.
