Honestly, how lucky is Pearl Jam to have had 3 great drummers.

Most bands cant fill 1 spot when a guy quits, dies, or gets kicked out.
Shit they went from Dave A. who was good enough in the studio and live, to Jack who elevated their studio work to a super high level, to Matt who elevated their touring to ultra.
Most bands do not get this lucky!
We never discuss this, its always who is better and who sucks, when in reality they all were great.

Jack and Matt brought out the best of the band into new dimensions.

Actually the first Matt was Matt Chamberlain not Matt Cameron.

If you weren't lucky enough to see Dave A., listen to a few bootlegs from the time. You'll understand what people are talking about and the kind of energy he brought.
Matt Cameron was the first because he was the drummer on Stone's original demo tape
Dave A was the shit though! He was also a very likable guy, he was just unlucky to be in the wrong band.
I remember reading about when ten went gold. Jeff had mentioned it during a dinner out and everyone was just 'oh wow, thats cool' and nothing more. Just a 'oh by the way' that came and went. Dave was so excited about that news that he had to leave the table, call up his drum technician and they would go up to their hotel room to celebrate by jumping up and down on the hotel bed for hours. That was the kind of person he was.. Alot of fans were devastated when Dave got fired. Kelly Curtis called it a mutual separation though, but Dave told the media he got fired.
Sorry to bring up Dave again, but I feel he is being unfairly treated by some people here.
i agree 110%!!! Dave A. was the man!!!
Might even worked as a drummer for Pearl Jam(06-present) since they seem to have become more at ease.

Chris Friel from Shadow (Mike McCready's old band) drummed on that tape as well.
If you hate something, don't you do it too
Yeah, I agree. Pearl Jam was way too serious for him. Funny you mentioned foo fighters cause Dave got fired right around the time Dave Grohl was making the foo lineup. Maybe Dave A was in the consideration? He was one of the hottest drummers at that point and must have gotten a shitload of offers.
"already, in love..."
Wow I jhave to lay off the beer, I am cruising thru the page and forgot I put this up, I was like this post is good I was thinking the same thing and realized I put it up.
Now Yes the band was more angry when Dave was in the band, more creative with Jack, and tours more funtionly with Matt.

Yes but Dave did alot of shows and his work on vs is great, and the band was made over his time in the band, he was a gear in works.

There are also stories floating around that grohl was going to drum in pj.

krusen was with candlebox, chamberlin did leave, and i was told on here he drums for tori amos
The key fact here is Dave A. has his place, he did a great job for them, if they stuck with krusen or got some shitty drummer it may have affected vs, that is to this day prob one of the strongest albums ever released for a rock band with out being metal or punk. They fused togehter great sound on that album and dave was a part of that.
Jack there would be no pj without him, and they may have broke up,
Aned never have had the rebirth with their music
nor the rebirth with touring without matt.
without matt we would not be going to shows and looking foward to tours like we do every yeear, and the band would prob not play as long or as tight, they would have had to get lucky for this to happen without him.

very true, but krusen really didnt right any of the songs with them, some, but matt helped them in the beggining, and the sty changed for the better instantly when dave a joined, krusens drums were over produced a lil, he seemed like a sit in drummer on that album, his work on evenflow was basically coppying camerons cymbol trapping, pretty much throughout, but he did have a sleight differance I honestly think for the worse.
That is why they were lucky to get dave a. at that point.
