    Jesus Christ, if what you care about are crazy fills and difficult beats and time signatures you really shouldn't be listening to rock and roll. That's not what makes a drummer "good" anyway.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    I have nothing against meg. Ever drummer is at a different skill level. Meg's sloppy barely in time playing works for what jack does.

    just like Wilk is perfect for RATM and audioslave.

    I have listened to Rage, and have heard Wilk's drumming there, and I think that it too is very simplistic. Not surprisingly because for a large part it is the same style music (not vocals obviously). And you are right, I can't say what he is capable of doing outside these two bands, but I think that he isn't a good drummer, because I find his drumming incredibly simplistic, for music that isn't always. I find that if he were a more interesting(/talented ?) drummer, the music would sound much better. Also, its possible that Cornell didn't choose to play with him, just the other guys were comfortable continuing with him, and Cornell just didn't get any say.

    I think Brad Wilk has an awesome funky powerfull style and i thank him for keeping it simple, to me he is further proof that most of the time simple is best. Plus he connects really well with the bass and together they make an awesome rythim section that's funky and powerful.

    First of all, I never said that all I care about was 'crazy fills and difficult beats and time signatures'. I just said I find Wilk over simplistic, and wish he would do more. Second, what pray tell makes a good drummer? I have been playing the drums for close to ten years, and I have heard some good drumming that is not all about crazy time signatures and fills, that is still good. One example, in my opinion is Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots. That is what I call not flashy drumming but still good. And who the hell are you to tell me what kind of music I should be listening too?
