@stellarshore All joey can do is quads. Get over it. Vinnie is among the 10 best drummers in the world, and there are 1000 metal drummers better than joey.

Please Lady gaga Joey Jordinson, MTV, Blink 182 or Miley Cyrus fans ... in the name of the good Lord  .... don´t post here !!!!!...

@godzuki444 funny thing is Vinnie plays on all sorts of albums by these pop stars..most demand studio drummer in the world : Billy Ray Cyrus, Pussycat Dolls, Faith Hill , destiny's Child, Backstreet Boys, Boys to men...no matter how lame your taste check your liner notes

[Listenchump]

Colaiuta is actually classed 1st drum player in the world.

@metalmike83 The difference between when Vinnie does them and when joey does them is that Vinnie doesn't completely lean on them like Joey does (because his hands aren't pathetic like Joeys). Also if you consider the context in which they are played, even this video is sufficient... Joey would be so fucking lost in this solo, and that's because it isn't straightforward garbage... the only thing Joey has ever played to. And there are plenty metal drummers who use polies, joey just cant.

@ScreamxBloodyxGore Meh, Derek can't be heard without triggers. Which is where power comes into play. Jordison also has some cool unique beats and he is technically slower than Roddy but not by much. Roddy relies on triggers remember. Show me the video where Vinnie clearly displays superior double bass work. All I've ever seen Vinnie do is quads - which is exactly the lameness you accused Jordison of.

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

Or at least it's completely unimpressive without some sort of dynamics or genuine complexity involved.

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

I don't even think I need to defend any comparison to Joey because everyone who he's being compared to in this conversation (outside Sandoval, that was a bad example, I'll CONCEDE that) is capable of much more COMPLEX than Joey and that matters a lot more than than Joey's one incredibly simple and underdeveloped style. If you're going to hang on power, then Dave Lombardo still kills Joey... but power isn't even a real criteria when it comes to drums anyway.

@metalmike83 ...The reason I chose to use Derek as an example was to contrast Joey to someone who isn't incredibly fucking slow and inept by heavy metal standards. It's not right to compare genres like Jazz and Metal I agree, but you're acting as if Vinnie's doublebass work isn't clearly superior to Joey's when it is. "That 16th Note" machinegunning is just that, incredibly simple licks at a high tempo. If you watched all of Vinnie's work you'd know he does more complex things than that.
