yes! Primus is a great show already, but with Danny on the drums its bound to be even better.

Oh! And another BTW... Primus initially wanted Stewart Copeland on drums for the fall tour. He wasn't available.

Oh and for what it's worth I think you can be a "huge fan" of a band or group without knowing all their names, where they're from, what cables they like to use and who their first girlfriend was.
I would consider myself a "huge fan" of Widespread Panic but can't give you all the members rundowns. |

That's laughable. My two favorite bands, my two favorite drummers, but only stupid kids would even make that claim.

He's better in my opinion, and its really not close. Neil doesn't do much for me, although there's no denying he's one of the elite drummers. Still, I find Tool's music much more inspiring than Rush's, and that's no doubt colored my view. |

There are VERY few rock/metal music fans that even know what a poly-rhythmic drummer is. |

I wouldn't agree that Danny Carey is one of the few exceptional poly-rhythmic drummers either.
Carmine Appice is very good, as is Bill Bruford, Roger Taylor, and Frank Zappa. If you want contemporaries of Carey, there's always Mike Portnoy. |

As a long time drummer, here is my list:
1a) Steve Gadd (unbelievable ability to play any style). 1b) Tony Williams - same as Steve Gadd. 2) Danny Carey - Ridiculous ability to tighten up polyrhythmic measures. 3) Stewart Copeland - Perfected the "reggae" style of drumming that is still the benchmark. 4) Neil Peart - Unbelievably fast hands and feet. 5) Buddy Rich - Could do with one drum that others can't do with five. |
