Nobody else drums like that. I really don't think his drumming deserves the meme status it gets, tbh. Honourable mention to Ringo Starr, btw. Another one of the greats of all time. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:958039431] in Lars Ulric...

shevman 09/15/21 5:01:49 PM #9:	The main criticism for him is that his drumming was too simple/basic and a reflection of his lack of ability, especially when you compare him to the rest of the band as well as other thrash drummers of the era. You can try argue that his drumming was a distinct sound but the fact is he was incapable of anything more. <cite>shevman posted [p:958088489] in Lars Ulric...

Hes not a good drummer lol Like he wouldn't get a gig as a fill in for any other band becuase he simply couldn't play it but I dunno, I love the Lars sound.

I guess he fucks up a lot, he's sloppy, he makes lots of rookie novice errors - in the sense that if you were a beginner drummer people would stop you and attempt to correct your bad technique. I mean he straight up speeds up, slows down, has shitty timing, and does weird things by accident rather than out of some jazzy sense of a drunk beat - I think the biggest factor though is he's just a colossal asshole. But all this aside I can still recognise his drumming after 4 bars and so I'm saying he's great. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:958089257] in Lars Ulric...
