Sorry - tough week for me. I knew you were kidding. My sense of humor must be a little out of whack (Askew).

there we go, easier to read:

OR = overrated factor
r = fan reputation in percent, 0-100% (how many of the fans think he's the best drummer in the world)
g = gimmicks used
E = equipment needed to perform
P = playing ability, rated in a scale of 0-10
pr = personal reputation, based on opinions of people who are not a fan of him, 0-100
V = variety of drumming performed
s = speed on kit in bpm, the fastest he can play clean 16th
eg = ego in a scale rated 0-100

I think the formula is ready for publishing!

Sir. I do believe that you are a genius. Pure genius. Now what do we need to do to get this made official?

Well, I see you've already begun!


Also, if you want to see how good a drummer actually is, flip the equation and remove the crowd/fan factors:

This is getting good. Way to go Dalleh/Poco! To think a thread about whether guy like Tommy Lee is overrated or not could inspire something like this is proof that life is very unpredictable.

Someone should solve Lee's equation and get this settled once and for all!

I'm not, I'm too tired in my head after all maths tonight

This thread is so full of epic win

[kevinplaysdrums]

so what would V equal? i know its variety performed. but how would you express that in a number form?

different styles/genres of music he has performed with, were 15 is the maximum number:
one genre = 0 (0variety)
two genres = 1 (little variety)
ten genres = 9 (good variety)
>16 = 15 (effing variable!)

EDIT: KEV!
THAT SIG!

MY EYES BLEED!
Out for tonight, see ya guys!

V = variety
One for each genera (whole rational numbers only).

[muckypops]

It's gettin' kinda geeky in here... I heard Tommy Lee was geek as kid so I guess it's appropriate.

lol, im gonna try to calculate his overrated-ness. lets see. . . .

r = 75
g = 2
E = not sure what to put here so 7, he normally plays a 7 pc.
P = in his style. 10.
pr = ill give him the benefit of the doubt, 50
V = 1, i guess. never seen him play anything else.
s = not sure so ill go with 210bpm, it probably a little more
eg = 90, lol

So, based on my calculations. Tommy Lees OR=21.5.

Note: these numbers are based off of my knowledge and opinions of TL.

Damn,

I might have to make a web app...

Kattie Currick reporting for NBC news.,..

Personally, I don't think he's overrated. He's a good drummer (not the best) with excellent showmanship.

His V is at least a 4 Rock, Metal, Blues, Techno/House/Trance. V should not be allowed to be 0.

As a showman, no, he isn't overrated.

As a drummer, I think he is.

i couldnt agree more

So, Portnoy, Pert, Buddy Rich, Bonham, Moon, would get the same knock down in the formula?

How is rock, metal, techno/house/trance, and blues the same genre? Is it the same on guitar? Would Randy Rhoads get a zero for combining scales and playing with Ozzy and Quiet Riot? Would Malmsteen?

If I have you confused with a gifted guitar player on this website I apologize in advance. Username just rings a guitar bell.

The pure fact that this thread got so much attention makes Mr Lee a significant figure in drumming. Check the famous drummers section, who's picture is there and in the forefront?

Formula needs a jealousy component for this website.

When did I say rock, metal, techno/house/trance is only one genre?
Where do you get the guitar from?
Malmsteen would get a variety 0 though.

Your own post "But one genre = zero variety, dontchathink?"

Malmsteen a Zero? Nuff said, thread fails very miserably?
