which producers drums do u like the best

RZA(before the damn Roland) I like my beats like I like my women - Fudging DIRTY
Preemo! - "Wrath of the Math" is one of my favorite CD's EVAR
Easy Mo Bee - "I love the dough" is one of my favorite songs of all time. /

and since there is no mention fo what genre of music then I'm going to switch it up like this:

cevin Key (Skinny Puppy) he's been fudging up samples since forever
Richard D James (Aphex Twin)

That reminds me! F*cking Venetian Snares! That dude does the most intense snare rushes ever. His albums are usually hit or miss with me. But when he gets it right he gets it right in a big way.

I am praying for the day when James freaking gets with Bjork in the studio! Gawd just do it already.

I saw Venetian Snares and Boom Bip at a club once. To think it was by chance. Gawd my ears are still ringing.

Cream of Beats got some ill azz drums! He never uses the same drums twice!

I hate live shows but Aphex and Vsnares are 2 artists I have always wanted to see live. Their music is just so cerebral and intense, I don't know how I could react. How the f*ck do you dance to 7/4 time anyway?

Ummm...
RJD2
DJ Shadow
MF Doom
J Dilla
The Neptunes
Timbaland
I always find drums difficult to get sounding right and all these people I think get really good drums.
Timbaland always comes up with really interesting rhythms too but needs to stop making funny faces in all his videos...

Dilla, not only for the swing but for the choice of sound.

Kanye, more so when he was making beats like this http://tiny.cc/izxbj

RZA, 36 Chambers is just timeless.

Pete Rock, Premo.


been listening to the Saigon album produced by Statik Selektah http://tiny.cc/t4iu4 - banging.

and finally Jehst 'Return of the Drifter' shows UK Hip Hop in a proper light.

I have seen Squarepusher live, a lot gets triggered but he plays the bass live and with a drummer now, Alex Thomas i think....

I would like to see Flying Lotus live now he's touring with Richard Spaven on drums.

I'm a little bit confused, that nobody mentioned a few of these before:

QTip - Dopest Snares. Listen To "Temperature's Rising" by Mobb Deep
Pete Rock (best filtering equing, warmth) "still #1"
Dilla (Swing & Sound) "It's like that"
Primo (of course) "Royalty"
Bomb Squad (just for flippin it the way they did it)

flylo has some ill drums. when he blends little claps or finger snaps in with his snares, it really reminds me of that off beat dilla type clap. i love flying lotus, cant believe i forgot him.

Yeah, I have seen Squarepusher once at Coachella he opened up for LAMB (Lamb was awesome by the way.) It was back when he was still rocking the Powerbook and hardware. It was nuts. People were trying to dance. Especially the ladies. Got to say some pulled it off quite well LOL! Never seen Aphex.

Say V.snares in a club in Los Angeles once totally by chance! HAHA! The crowd was in a bit of shock it think. But its typical for an L.A. crowd to be too cool for school and not dance. Me and my friends all nodded our heads to the beat but to be honest it was a bit of reunion for us all and I didn't pay as much attention to V.Snares as much I wanted.

Oddly enough one my friends ran out and picked his CD the next day, she rocked it in the ride to dinner that night. She has a great system in her Honda. Nothing like parking at the In & Out Burger in Hollywood blasting V'Snares (so the whole world hears it) out your ride. Wicked!
