Yeah. This is an unfathomable opinion. Taffer, how do you feel about most of Matt Cameron's output?

It's hard to explain properly as an english is not my primary language, but i'll try :)

I'm feeling pretty comfortable with MC's output for PJ that's not what he's doing to Soundgarden but ok

Don't know how to explain properly - for the drumming i like lots of drumrolls or fills (is it correct word?) - example of the great drums - album version of Brain of JFK

Some things from Dave - such as last exit/not for you - boring onehanded drumming , no drumrolls etc (unbearable to me)

His drumming for Vs was much funnier

Basically i've never been the fan of his drum tone, very thin and tiny, the great example album version of Go, just figure how it could have been sounded with much richer and deeper drum tones (the drum sound from helphelp)

Just check the Crocodile cafe-98 boot, the great drums tone and explicit Matt's drumming

Sorry.

Ten never did much for me as an album. So plodding, such a chore to listen to.

Thanks for clarifying, your English looks fine to me and I understand what you're saying, even if I don't agree with much! I love Dave's high or 'thin' drum sound. It's a metal sound though and I know not everyone's keen.

I agree with what you're saying. I always thought that Dave A, although an excellent drummer, was a little too rat-a-tat-tatty. The way he plays the hi-hat and cymbals is annoying and totally not rock & roll to me.

Jack is a very special drummer. I love his style and the way he plays the hi-hat with that propulsive push/pull effect. He's in a class all of his own.

Matt is an all-around superb musician and songwriter. But I can see how people would find his recent drumming efforts too "plain". He had much more of a mischievous style when he first joined the band. Sometimes I feel as though he's phoning it in these days. And he's not contributing as much to the band song-wise.

It's been the only one I've been listening to with any regularity over the last year or so.
It'll never top no code though, even though I rarely listen to it. Or any of the others.
