Italian drummer´s shootout - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Thanks for all the responses to this poll. Like always I´m more into the talk that these polls generate.

I haven´t visited the forums the past couple of days, because I was run over, whilst cycling on my bike on Friday, and cracked a rib along with my glasses...

Listening to Le Orme right now, and Dei Rossi´s work is so wonderfully understated and skewed compared to the other drummers featured here. Powerful and very in tune with what´s happening around him, whereas a guy like Capiozzo in himself was a lead "voice/instrument" in Area. I don´t know if that makes any sort of sense outside my head though...

I'm going with Goblin but then what do i know about drumming.Lets just say that one sounded better to me.The audio clips were great as usual Bamsen,some nice choices.

"Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

Based on performance, I have to go with Capiozzo and Area on this one, although I like Le Orme better on this song and as a whole.

I actually like Marangalo's work with both Flea and Etna a lot better than with Goblin. Goblin just seems to suck the virtuosity out of its members, as they sacrifice for the overall sound. Just look at bassist Fabio Pignatelli, whose performance on the Cherry Five album is one of the best I've ever heard, but he never even comes close to that kind of performance in Goblin. IMHO, of course.

My Gnosis Ratings

Today I've listened to Arbeit twice.... I was supposing that the Area were less known basing on their fame in Italy where Le Orme had a huge success with Felona and Sorona and Goblin were very famous for Dario Argento's soundtracks.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Area is the less easy band in this poll so I suspect that is also the less known. I vote for them.

Being a rhythmic gymnast myself, I do really get a kick out of the drums from these 3 tracks. Different styles no doubt, even if they all at some point brush up against fusion.

This is a poll about which of these different drum parts you like the most - not which band/drummer you prefer, or what track is the "best".

I´ve only included 3 options, and that is not to say that these are the absolute top contenders, but just that I´ve done some polls before, and if people have to listen to more than 3 or 4 vids to come to any sort of conclusion, - then they´ll probably not partake, or maybe just vote for something because they kind of know the band - just through another release... These are however some tracks that I really dig at the moment, so there is some sense to the madness.

This will be interesting! My fave drummer is probably Area drummer Capiozzo here, but there´s something to the other pieces that really speaks to me as well. I´m gonna wait a bit methinks Tongue
