R&P: Do you consider Alex Van Halen an underrated drummer?!

Alex is not the most animated drummer out there like Peart, but he is like a freaking machine behind that set!.

Definitely underrated!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

He's not complicated as Bonzo , not show maker as Keith Moon , not heavy as Ian Paice , not mechanical as Neil Peart , not pleasant to listen to as Carl Palmer or Bill Bruford and not underrated as Brian Downy ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yet he's in a band that has the loudest , fastest and most leading sound guitarist of all-time , so this is one !. Two , he's a very good drummer and the fans of VH or generally speaking are trying their best not to improvise answers and just go with the flow that says Alex is a mediocre drummer !.!.!.!.!. my point is illustrated perfectly in songs like : (I'm The One) where he raced the alien Eddie himself !!!!! or his work in songs like (Hot For Teacher) !!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Alex Van Halen has marvelous technical ability,and is certainly under-rated!. However he can't be rated alongside the greats!. Anyone who hasn't listened to Neil Peart,should do so! He's the greatest !Www@Enter-QA@Com
