Yeah, maudlin of the Well is a good band... I have one of their albums.
I don't really understand why everyone says that... X__X Lol. I think their newer albums are a lot more adventurous than De-Loused.
Ah yeah, Don Cab's last album was terrible... It's because the drummer is the only original member of the band. I only have one EP by Hella, "Total Bugs Bunny On Wild Bass." It's pretty good... Though I think as far as geetar goes that Ian Williams is far better than Hella's guitarist. I'll have to look more into 65daysofstatic.
As far as drummers go, I think it depends. A lot of metal drumming is like Ywngie(sp?) Malmsteen's guitar playing... It's fast and sounds impressive, but takes little technical skill. Jazz drumming, on the other hand... You should look at Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa for some true drumming skill. The drummer of Meshuggah, another good band in the vein of prog metal, is amazing. He can play some crazy drum beat in a weird time signature with his feet, then a danceable 4/4 beat with his hands... Kind of like Bill Bruford of King Crimson... And I think that takes more talent than playing fast.
Lastly, don't worry about the rant. If you stick around long, you'll see a great many of my own rants coming out.
