Not unless you count someone who bangs on drums senselessly and pretends they're making music to be a "drummer".

If you're a fan of metal, you probably would consider people who fall under that category to be drummers.

BEST. POST. EVER.

But seriously, I mean actual decent drummers. Not metal drummers. Like ska drummers for example, Neil Peart, i.e.

So, you mean drummers who can actually keep a beat?

In that case, no, I am not one of those.

I play drums too, or I try to. But I haven't been playing for a long time yet, so I'm not very good.

So metal drummers can't drum?

eh. Not bad, but even that's pretty simple as long as you have a double bass. Most metal drums have a lot of stamina but not as much technique, which is exactly what the music genre calls for.

i know alot of people who drum. they are all pot heads and very into music. They are AMAZING drumers. i have heard them play, there is about 3 of them who are "amazing". I definitly think they could be in a star band.

Once again, not really that hard, just takes a lot of stamina. Anyway, the metal thing was (mostly) a joke. Its like comparing a construction worker to a software programmer; The programmers are more clever and more technical, but the construction workers have the power and brute force (as well as stamina) behind their drumming. Not to say though, that there aren't any good metal drummers out there in the technical sense, just that metal demands more stamina than technique and coordination.
