Been listening to so much early PJ lately.
25 yrs plus on and still blown away with the live recordings with Dave Abbruzee's playing 
The sound , energy , pure perfection you bought to the band  in your time is so greatly appreciated .
Arguably best drummer of the 90's and beyond ,up with the best of them period. 
Your talent is highly respected .

    Got to disagree.  Matt’s really good but Dave was better.

    There is a nice little vignette on Sirius XM about him writing Go.

    Like Dave. Love matt!  If he couldn't get along with Eddie which is the way it sounded things went then he had to go. Best wishes to Dave but his time has come and gone. Matt Cameron is a true icon for obvious reasons...

    Daves the best drummer of the 90s? Really? You didn’t see a lot of drummers then. He was in the best band of the 90s but not the best drummer. I put Matt and Dave G in front of him. Actually it’s not even close IMO

    Danny Carey.

    Love Jimmy Chamberlain too-his snare whip crack is closest to Dave's.

    The big 90s bands were blessed with incredible drummers man. All quite different too. We know PJ's drummers but Chamberlin, Kretz, Grohl, Kinney...man.

    I'm biased though I love Tool just as much as the guys and Carey just blows my mind.

    Hey, don't make Lars come on here and tell you he's the best ;)

    He's busy dusting off the snare drum he used on St Anger to audition for Chris Fehn's place in Slipknot.

    He was too busy bashing his annoyingly large collection of cymbals to be counted as a drummer

    Best drummer from the ‘90s????? He’s not even the second best drummer to play for Pearl Jam. 

    Yikes. 
  • SomethingCreativeSomethingCreative Kazoo, MI Posts: 3,395
    Dave was the best man for the job in that era. However, I don’t think PJ would have evolved into the band I fell in love with Dave behind the kit.  Don’t forget about Jack, he brought something to the table that inspired them greatly in the studio. 

    Also Matt F Cameron is the best overall drummer they’ve had 😬

    Good drummer.  Decent dude.  Poorly self aware.  

    fourth best Pearl Jam Drummer.

    Other drummers better than he outside of Pear Jam of his era
    Stephen Perkins (unequivocally the best)
    Glenn kotche
    Jon Fishman
    Zach Starky
    Leon Mobley

    Coffee has not set in.  Like Dave. Enjoy Dave.  Don't oversell Dave.  It is not practical or reality based.
    His eminence has yet to show.

    When people learn to say « my favorite » instead of « The best » we ll be fine. (and obviously I don’t like instead of it sucks..) Love Dave s groove for what it’s worth.

    It does also provide entertaining fantastical nonsense, complete mistruths and often blatant lack of self awareness, which can lead to utterly hilarious diatribes.

    Indeed. Leading up to the RNRHOF induction I think we had a thread getting closed every other day there for a while.

    Why? I’m a drummer. I do not enjoy Dave’s style. Never did. I don’t care about his personality. What’s so cringe about that? I’d say it’s more cringey listening to people praising him just because he happened to be playing drums during PJ heyday.

    Lmao. Another bad point. Do you really think If EV and the rest didn’t want certain songs at that tempo, they wouldn’t say something?i think we all know who’s in charge and it’s certainly not Matt.  Matt can play at any tempo, any time signature anytime. He’s a world class drummer.

    If that's the case why hasn't he written and sung a "Beth" type superhit yet?
