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.

Thanks for the joke of the day!

Henry Ranta - Soilwork
Adrian Erlandsson - At the Gates

HELL YEAH

 

[svenske kocken]

? have you heard "Nexus Polaris"? if that is not impressive, then what is?

Yup, of course I have heard it, since I own it. Well, I don´t think his drumplaying there is too amazing. Good as usual (it´s Hellhammer after all), but rather simple, at least if compared with his drumming in Mayhem and Arcturus.

that singer "sperm=garm" annoyes me often

??? How can you get annoyed by that incredible voice? I´d say that Garm is the best vocalist around at the moment.

I disagree, theres some incredible stuff in there!

He sound often like there would be Gerbil down in his pants chewing up testicles. I'm not very fond of his "La masquearade..." singing style.

yo, wanker, don't talk about things you have no knowledge about!
wenn nexus polaris is one nice piece of music, well produced and all. but the drums alone are not all too outstanding as svenske already said. nice patterns, fat sound, but nothing really spectacular (not that i could drum like that though ).

as for my favourites:
the meshuggah guy
fuckin' gene hoglan
myself, of course
me
I
the katatonia guy does some nice hand patterns as well
nicholas barker
bela b. (die ärzte) -> because he sings and plays on a barchair
the system of a down guy

It's all about the technique and beats that fits into the music.
So you can play like a maniac in way that would be really difficult, but it would sound like crap.

>>> you're right, best example is portnoy

Hellhammers drumming in Nexus Polaris is damn well fitting and amazing on many parts! His gimmicking ride/hihat are pure sex to my ears!

>>> you are right, but you are only a guitarist! we drummers have higher standards j/k, sure its great, but as stated before, there is better drumming around.

shit I have too much words in my mouth, cant but them all down right now, have to think

>>> you better think before posting next time!

where's my beer...

kaksi olluta!
maybe it's here?

 

[Khronos]

the cannibal corpse guy
the marduk guy
the slayer guy(all of them)
the opeth guy(all of them)
the metallica guy
the sepultura guy
the nile guy
the death guy
the Nick Barker!!!

 

[Alexandre]

Cause lars is the worst drummer I know. Really, not just annoying, but he can't play shit.

AHAHAHAEHEHEHEHEHAHAHHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHA.


Why do people insist that Lars can´t play? It´s ridiculous to say that.
I´ll say it in caps:

LARS ULRICH IS A KILLER DRUMMER!

Hearse, you´re just a puny guitar player. I´ve been a drummer for 12 years, so heed my words

 

[Misanthrope]

Now that i think of it, i havent meet any metal drumers, i just know flesh ones.

 

[jimbobhickville]

Sean Reinert
Bobby Jarzombek
Richard Christy
Asgeir Mickelson
Gene Hoglan
Dave Lombardo
Neil Peart
Jeff Eber

I would say Lars WAS good in the early days, but after "...And Justice For All" i think he got 'worse'!
He was and is just playing simple stuff, so i don't consider him as a real metal drummer anymore!

 

[Khronos]

Lars is god! I dont care what do you think about him but heis one of my favorites!

how can somebody be annoyed by Garm's godly vocals?!?

btw, whould you mind explaining the mention of sperm in your post?

 

[jimbobhickville]

I can think of a worse drummer than Ulrich, the guy from Coroner. I bought Mental Vortex, which is a really good CD, but the drumming sucks. Also, Louie Clemente, formerly of Testament. He also drug down the otherwise excellent music.
