Pearl Jam's drummer discussion

Submitted by confrita t3_z6z9vh in Music

Hi! Hope everyone is having a great day!

So I was listening to the album 'Vitalogy' and was one more time impressed with the drum work of Dave Abruzzese. Although he didn't record 'Ten' I think he gave a extra bust of energy and tastefulness in the live perfomances of those songs.

Don't get me wrong I love Matt Cameron, in fact his work in Soundgarden it's utterly astounding. But for some reason I think Dave was a better match for Pearl Jam's style. In my opinion there's something that change drastically after 'Vitalogy' and the next album weren't as good for me.

What do you think? Do you prefer Abruzzese or Cameron?

Dave was the heartbeat of that band in the early days. Until Matt Cameron came along, there’s was just a revolving door at drums.

Dave Abbruzzese's playing is a bit too "bashy-crashy" for my tastes compared to Matt Cameron or Dave Krusen
