i think that the best drumming roger ever did was from 82-86.
his worst is the 2005-2006 tour.
On i want it all from sheffield you can hear that he droppes a beat every now and then.
listen to the drummer from the stones(charlie watts or something) he never loses a beat and he is 4 or 5 years older).

Obviously you know nothing about drums if you compare Roger Taylor vs Charlie Watts...

He's kinda 50 years older if you'd look at him. But actually he's 8 years older.

Charlie Watts has to be one of the worst rock drummers I've ever heard. His drumming on A Bigger Bang sounded like he was struggling to keep up, and was what spoiled that album for me.
Roger's drumming on the QPR tour was one thing that amazed me - that at his age he still had that power. Just listen to FBG or Love With My Car.

Charlie Watts and Larry Mullen from U2 are rubbish

Roger was very impressive on the Q+PR tour in my opinion. He still has a feel that not many people have, and him and Brian still make an incredible 'Queen' Sound.
He may not look as comfortable behind a kit as he did and may not have as much attack, but he's older now and carrying a bit more weight. I think he's fantastic with all them considerations aside. He was allways about feel, and he still has tonnes of it!
Charlie watts my arse!! Bag of steaming shit!

My brother and I were talking about Roger's drumming and even when he kicks out the most basic 4/4 beat, it still sounds great! Roger has that ability that many don't, i.e. make it interesting, no matter what.

It was extremely bad sound from Roger Taylor's drums during "the works tour." Something better was that in "the magic tour." By contrast, the drumming sounds great during the Queen + PR years 2005-2006.
I think Roger's drumming peaked around '77. I have the Houston and Earl's Court shows and I think there he has great versatillity and great feel. The '81-'82 shows are great too. Then he went more basic in '84 en '85, and the sound of his kitt was truely horrible in both these tours. If you listen to the sound of wembley and compare it with the sound of Montreal of Milton Keynes, I cannot understand why he switched equipment.
Roger currently sound much better. Hid didn't sound so good since the early 70s. Sheffield is a very bad concert, try to listen to some audience recordings from some good concerts

Having watched the dvd, I cant see where you are coming from on I want it all. And besides, sometimes Roger plays with the emphasis on the backbeat. As for Charlie Watts being better than Rog..... give me break... Ringo Starr was better than him.

You're not the best judge.
I was recently (like yesterday) wacthing Roger on the Queen cam from Wembley. Fuck wacth now I'm here at the end, it's class Roger rocks - he hits the hi-hat twice then hits the snare around 6 times fast, and smashes into the cymbals he just looks the image of a rock star and you know he's enjoying it - FANTASTIC.
Also on One Vision Queen Cam on Roger - the solo, roger does the same fill aroun 20 times, looks at Brian for the break then hits the snare and back into the beat, just class.
How can you say that Roger doing Let There Be Drums sounds crap? Only prob I have with his dums on that tour is that they could be 10% crispier.
He drops a beat every now and again...WTF are you some sort of musical genius?

I know absolutely. Obsessed with the period 1988-1991, the Miracle and Innuendo. Maybe it's a phase thing I don't know
