I don't understand he is a damn good drummer. I hate when I see comments on youtube like Matt is the worst drummer for PJ. Oh yeah? Im pretty sure if he sucked he wouldn't be in the band, he plays with a lot of intensity. Im glad to have him as the drummer.

When a band has had several drummers, there will be differing opinions about which one best fit the band. It's the same with any band that has had multiple members over it's existence. For some bands it's about singers or guitarists, in Pearl Jam's case it's about drummers.Can't escape from the common rule...
If you hate something, don't you do it too0 -
I always thought Dave A was the best drummer for PJ even though he was only with the band for 4 years to Matt's 11. I always liked Matt and think he fits the band perfectly, but I still gotta go with Abruzzeze. He was with PJ during their defining era (91-95). A lot of their best songs came from this time period so you got to give credit where credit is due.He who forgets will be destined to remember.

Simple answer. They are moronic idiots.
Matt Cameron is reaching virtuoso statis (as Jeff called it). Also, I think it was Jeff who said, Dave couldn't keep up with the bands music knowledge. They would all want to play a song a bunch of different ways and all Dave could do was play it one way.
I have nothing bad to say about Jack, he was badass, but Matt is probably the best all-around drummer around today.

Not that good a drummer? Do you listen to the boots or just come on the board and hate? Matt is ALWAYS changing up fills and keeping it fresh. The other drummers didn't do that. Dave A, while fairly proficient, played the songs the same all the time. His fills were basically an extra cymbal hit or multiple cymbal hits. Matt is all over those drums.
I'm sorry but I don't think your argument has any merit.Chicago 8-23-090 -

Sorry for that, then. I can usually sense sarcasm on the board but apparently I have met my match. Well played, sir/madam.Chicago 8-23-090 -
ahhh this topic just never gets old... personally, i would have to say, on the recorded versions, i liked jacks style and sound the best. he has a certain rare groove that you dont find from alot of drummers. and they fit the songs perfectly. now live, i would say its a toss up between jack and matt. two TOTALLY different drumming styles. jack plays with a very loose grooe, while matt is more of the "four on the floor" stlye. matt has a very heavy foot that i just dont think fits with aot of their music. matt was at his best live with the band on the 2000 tour. first off, his drums KILLED on that tour. i believe they were still the ayotte's, and sounded soooo much more musical and out front a little more. now they are flat, dead, boring, and dont fit in the mix well in my opinion. secondly, he played the songs ALOT more like they were originally recorded. he always had his style on them, but nowadays, there are sooo many things he does that annoy me live. he hs taken alot of the songs and changed the overall feel and structure. im not a fan of that. but that being said, he is very talented. the thing people who are not drummers always overlook, is that they all have very different approaches and styles. its hard to compare apples to oranges.0
