LIVE: BEST DRUMS Options

[Hoodstock]

I like Chad's drumming style and looking over their CD's, I'm trying to decide which individual Live track has the best drums. I just stated thinking about it and right now I'm leaning towards TBD, but I'd have to review some other songs.

I was wondering if anyone had a specific track where they thought Gracey really laid it down?

I have to agree with the folks who said Iris and They Stood Up For Love. I'd like also to nominate White, Discussion, I Alone, Everytime I See Your Face, Lighthouse and River Town.

But, let's be honest. As great as CG is behind the kit, it just wouldn't be the same without Pat sitting in the pocket and filling it up with his rhythms. His bass accentuates everything about CG's drumming that is great. And really, it works both ways. IMO, a song with bass and/or drum parts that have no power, leaves the song lifeless. Coldplay are a great example of that. I love some of their songs, but they have a woefully weak, IMHO, rhythm section. Their songs could have so much more impact if they had a better drummer or bass player (or both).

Anyway, a drummer and bass player have to adequately accentuate and compliment each other, and CG and PD do that awesomely.
