Simply i can say that hes my biggest favorite drummer, he has amazing grooves and time signatures, his personality when hes playing is so passional and he has a great power, also he can sing and write some songs. I cant say all his skills and attributes in this little space, but trust me, is one of the finest drummers of the world, and he has a lot of feeling in his play, wich is very important in the music.
@luiscurtolo depends on what you look for in a drummer and what you like really; Matt Cameron is my main inspiration for playing drums...the reason I started playing...to me, Matt serves the songs he plays more so than trying to stand out, not to mention his songwriting ability is incredible. He's not a flashy drummer and alot of people equate being flashy to being a great drummer...but to each their own; his talent and skill speak for themselves
I'm not too sure about Zeppelin-style drumming because I find that he doesn't hit as hard as Bonzo did. However, he cites Keith Moon as one of his influences, but I still see more jazz-trained skills in the way he plays- more concise and generally smoother.
@luiscurtolo No one can say he's the best or better than anyone, it's all personal taste. When you're in a band as a contributing member, you play as one; not a soloist. He is his own genre and that's what many like. He's heavy handed, heavy footed and a groove monster and has an impressive power. To each his own.
Listen to Badmotorfinger and Superunknown. If you can't feel his passion, you're dead. That's the one thing that sets him apart. Watch "Limo Wreck" live...
Maybe i can't be objective!!! cause I began drums by listening soundgarden's music.
But listen his play; listen how he is precise and how everything, every strokes serve with high quality the music of his band. We feel in his play a big freedom; He's clearly not in the "too much" but a musical relationship with his instrument. It is finally that which makes a big drummer. And Matt Cameron is a very big drummer.
just want to understand why people think his so great. I know he is. But i just seems overrated for me.so someone explain why hes better.. he plays straight and simple, strong and nice fills... but... its soething any famous drummer must have. why is he so special.. any videos? wheres his grooving, right foot speed, passion... can someone show me.
@pandespinas yeah this guy is right, he didn't really play pearl. yamaha is mostly what he's played since the 90s, as well as dw and ayotte.
