What Are Some Other Styles Of Music I Could Check Out?

Question

i'm a drummer for my own band, and i love to play, i like listenin to 80's Metal (Motley Crue, Poison) and modern day music too, but i want to expand my drum skills, what are some other genre's of music, besides Metal, Rock & Jazz that i could listen to, Artist names would be appreciated too.

Answer 1

Check out Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia, 2 of the greatest guitarists in the world. Especially their song Mediterranean Sundance. No drums involved, but it will expand your musical base and the way that Paco De Lucia strums -  he incorporates percussive rhythm into his playing. It's great! Steve Vai does some cool stuff with Al Di Meola also.

Answer 2

hmm well modern day there's always some good music genre's like Emo or Screamo (Don't worry about titles, the music is good)

-Rise Against

-Bullet For My Valentine

-In Flames

are just a few good artists

Answer 3

Dragon Force

Avenged Sevenfold

All that Remains

Protest the Hero

Answer 4

Any drummer that played for Frank Zappa is worth looking into.

I like the polyrhythms of African drumming and the soul grabbing beat of Brazilian Samba.

Tito Puentes

Mickey Hart

Here's a list to check out.
