It strikes me as odd that anyone within the last 5 years or so would be included in that list, considering music hasn't changed at all during that timeframe.
I'm pretty sure Josh has been on the scene more than 10 years.
Also, the other guys on that list aren't doing anything contemporary except Matt. Matt was the man in the 90's; I don't know what his schedule looks like now but Josh is the modern day 1st call guy, at least in L.A.
None of the guys on that list changed music anyway IMO. Some of them played with people that did.
Josh Freese on the list give me a break! Aronoff also to a large degree. These guy's play in a narrow framework compared to certain guy's. Freese is on the list because he is one of Drum magazines Poster boy's. Porcaro, JR., Mason, Purdie where are they?!!! These guy's along with Gadd, Keltner and other's played with guy's who had a BIG hand in shaping music, Freese and Aronoff have not.
Dig
I agree with the general consensus on Freese and Aranoff. They are good, and they play alot. But come on, maybe they will deserve to be on that list in like a decade.
What about JR Robinson ? Seems to me he should be on that top ten list !
More that were not considered...
John Guerin, Russ Kunkel, RIck Marotta, Emil Richards, Mick Fleetwood...
Did they also foreget the great Manu Katch? our french drummer hero : come on
Sting, Peter Gabriel, Joe Satriani, Tears for Fears, Simple Minds, Dire Straits etc and some of the most important musicians in France !
Blasphemy !
Matt is CRAZY busy... i talked to him about it... he says he is never home, and when he is home, he is recording in his studio. The list of things he has been on, as of late, is impressive.
