When he learns how to play drums I am sure someone will notice him. Until that happens people on this forum will continiue to praise actual drummers.

I´m a drummer myself, so I´m at the top of my list

Danny Carey - TOOL
NIcko McBrain - IRON MAIDEN
Gene Hoglan - DARK ANGEL, DEATH, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD
Pete Sandoval - MORBID ANGEL, TERRORIZER
Nicke Anderson - ENTOMBED
Dennis the Menace - MACABRE
Mike Portnoy - DREAM THEATER
Sean Reinert - DEATH, CYNIC
Ted Parsons - PRONG, GODFLESH
Shannon Larkin - SOULS AT ZERO, POUNDHOUND, WRATHCHILD AMERICA, UGLY KID JOE (uurrghh)
Danny Schuler - BIOHAZARD
Lars Ulrich - METALLICA
Kevin Talley - DYING FETUS

My fave drummers are chosen for style and feel of play, not only for skill. Of course, I´m forgetting a few.

Flo Mounier
Pete Hammoura
Every drummer that played in Death.

Damn, and I was going to salute Danny...I guess he better keep practicing.

(10 *'s)

** Danny Carey (esp Aenima, Lateralus)
* Trym (& Zyklon)
* Gene Hoglan
** Martin Lopez
** Anders Nordin
** Rick Miah (esp Like Gods of the Sun)

I am more familiar with all the guys that get two stars...that may be the reason for their lofty selection.

Thanks. I don´t understand why, he´s a hell of a drummer, he´s got a great feel, just listen to "...and Justice for All".

Regarding Danny Carey from Tool... he´s simply one of the best, as the band itself.
