As we approach the end of round I, and have re-familiarized ourselves with a lot of old friends, it's time we have a very serious conversation.

Who was the best drummer of the best of grunge drummers?

For my money it was easily Jimmy Chamberlin. In fact, the Pumpkins are one of the only bands where I regularly make a point to stop and listen to the drumming

Jimmy and it's not close.

I don't care. Any of them. Whatever.

Jimmy or Matt C.

Kretz and Kinney should get shout outs.

Chamberlin
Irons

the rest

Chamberlin
Grohl
Dave A
Matt C

Just tell me who to vote for.

Chamberlin
Irons
Abbruzzese
Grohl
Cameron

I liked Matt's drumming when he was with Soundgarden.

Yeah it's definitely Chamberlin.

Hey Stip, are we doing this for all the band members: best guitarist, bassist, vocalist, etc?

Guitarist: Billy Corgan

Bassist: uhhh I dunno. Probably Jeff?

Singer: I've always really liked Kurt's voice and singing, even though I've fallen out of love with the songs themselves

And yeah, drummer is clearly Chamberlin.

Voted for Chamberlain. There are a lot of really good drummers on that list.

of course! but lets live in this moment for a moment

I prefer Dave A's feel to any of these guys however Matt Cameron blew my mind back in the 90s. He was like a Bonham-esque player to me, larger than any band could handle.

I have no arguments with Chamberlin but he didn't amaze me like Dave A and Cameron.
