to:
** TheRollingStones\\\' Charlie Watts has been TheQuietOne for nearly five decades. Just [[BerserkButton don\\\'t call him \\\"my drummer\\\"]]. This means \\\'\\\'you\\\'\\\', Mick Jagger.
** [[TheWhiteStripes Meg White]] has a somewhat subdued drumming style. Of course, considering she drums [[{{Gainaxing}} without a bra]]...
** Bill Ward of Music/BlackSabbath has a massive presence in many of their songs, but was [[TheQuietOne the quiet one]] of the band. Of course\\\' when you\\\'re in a band with Music/OzzyOsbourne that\\\'s probably [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative not saying much]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dJUnh6N8-U Karen Carpenter.]] \\\'Nuff said.
** Double subversion: Sloan\\\'s Andrew Scott, in spite of some manic, primal drumming, is known for his mild-mannered temperament offstage. During the band\\\'s \\\"Four Nights at the Palais Royale,\\\" however, Andrew switched to playing a Fender Rhodes for a few numbers, and was so disgusted at the condition of the piano that he [[BewareTheNiceOnes demolished it in a fit of rage]].
** Tommy Portimo of SonataArctica seems to be really quite shy and has a pretty calm drumming style too.
** Music/{{ACDC}} as a whole doesn\\\'t stir up a lotta noise outside of their music, only doing occasional interviews and otherwise vanishing off the face of media-Earth. Other than drum magazines, this troper can\\\'t even think of an interview featuring Phil Rudd, whose style has been described as somewhat basic but able to set a watch to.
** Gavin Harrison from PorcupineTree falls into one of these, musically and out the stage. Not only is he relatively calm when he drums, but he, along with Colin Edwin have been labeled as the [[OnlySaneMan only sane people]] by their bandmates. Although to be honest, he loves to experiment with his drumkit, making all these crazy sounds with everything he has at hand and shakes his head in a groovy mood when he softly smacks his drums. Okay, so he\\\'s not an animal, more like a CloudCuckooLander at the drums. {{YMMV}}, as always.
** Averted by Don Henley from {{Eagles}}. He sang the most songs in the band. Most of his solo songs are ballads. He is often referred to as percussionist rather than drummer, since he plays a few other percussion instruments in the band as well.
** PhilCollins is another notable aversion. Starting out as the drummer for Music/{{Genesis}}, he took up vocal duties after PeterGabriel went solo. Collins\\\' vocal style, while forceful at times, is still mild-mannered.
** Levon Helm, the laid-back drummer/vocalist from TheBand, is another aversion.
** Ginger Fish, the long-term drummer for MarilynManson, was known for being TheQuietOne despite his frequent injuries. His replacement, [[NineInchNails Chris Vrenna]], is also an aversion.
** Former SmashingPumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin is generally pretty calm behind the kit, even when playing complex parts at arena rock volumes.
* Russel Hobbs of the {{Gorillaz}} averts this: despite having his share of [[HeroicBSOD breakdowns]], he\\\'s still the most rational and level-headed of the group, and his eloquence is matched only by Noodle.
** However, in Plastic Beach, Russel becomes \\\'\\\'\\\'giant\\\'\\\'\\\', and he enters the water by throwing people off a dock and \\\'\\\'\\\'swimming\\\'\\\'\\\' to Point Nemo, and keeps Noodle on his \\\'\\\'\\\'head\\\'\\\'\\\'.

I really don\\\'t think this is an omnipresent trope. It\\\'s really more of an archetype.
