Best Drummer of today?

[Deicidal]

Lars Ulrich, Dave Lombardo, Away, Paul Bostaph, Kyle Severn.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

1. Lombardo of course
2. Portnoy
3. Carey
4. Jason Rullo (underrated)
5. Chris Adler (not a lamb of god fan, but he's good)

 

[itchytasty]

Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), and John Longstreth (Origin) have always impressed me.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Gene Hoglan
Mike Portnoy

These.

Paul Bostaph

I got the chance to interview him! It's here if you want to see it
http://www.metal-mayhem.co.uk/interviews/testament.html

And i'm only 15! You must be jealous

Also...does anybody agree with my claims that the devildriver drummer is insane?

 

[S<issors]

Eh, not really. Then again, no offense, but I think Devildriver are kinda bad : /

Anyway, on topic, Absu's drummer is pretty rad.

and whether or not you enjoy DTs music, it's just silly and obstinate to claim that Myung, Portnoy, and Petrucci aren't world-class.

 

[mutantllama]

Wait, I'm confused. The thread says drummers of today, and people are saying Lombardo and shit like that.

 

[Avigrus]

Gene Hoglan

 

[MasterOLightning]

Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), and John Longstreth (Origin) have always impressed me.

These plus Derek Roddy, Wrest, and Martin Lopez.

 

[The Butt]

Zbigniew "Inferno" Promi&#324;ski.

I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet; this forum officially has AIDS.

Well played. Everyone on this forum but you has AIDS then.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I dunno why people feel the need to post their favorite jazz/fusion drummers in GMD.

Anyway I'll also mention Vitek from Decapitated, not because he's dead but because he was fucking good. When he soundchecked his kit before they played live, my jaw hit the floor.

Dave still plays drums today, hence he is relevant to the topic.

Proscriptor wins thread!

Damn straight.

 

[The Ozzman]

Does Haake use triggers at all?

 

[~Neurotica]

No, from what I know.
He wrote a plug-in for VST type of programs - Drumkit From Hell, and Catch33 drums were programed in that thing.

 

[Bitencourt29]

Yes, Tomas Haake's also a great drummer.

I forgot to mention Emil Dragutinovic, one of the best (ex Marduk, he's Devian's drummer now, working again with Legion)

 

[Belligerent]

Axenrot
Chris Adler
Gavin Harrison

 

[EmbraceTheDeath]

Tomas Corn
