[Drummer_Exy1um]

What is everyone's favorite drummers of metal? Also, check out my selections.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Mark Zonder makes me so damn hard.

 

[BlackMetal Fl]

I think they are all great. I like Inferno,Frost,George Kolias. All drummers are pretty good to me.

 

[Necroraven]

My favourites are Ole Öhman and Veikko Jumisko. I don't really care who is the fastest or anything, some drummers just sounds good to me.

 

[JontRevolting]

Mark Zonder makes me so damn hard.

Oh fucking hell yeah!! I was about to spit out the obligatory call of James Fucking Read but that man is a legend!!

[Pitiless Wanderer]

yea speed is a ridiculous index of good drummers. i used to be a hellhammer worshiper, still am to a degree, but i think Van Williams from nevermore is my favorite. I was just listening to TGE and thinking how fucking awesome and under rated he is. very creative. he's a true power house.

others: ray herrera back in the early FF days was great, believe it or not, lars's playing on MOP is solid...the songs are just fun to listen to, especially Disposable Heroes (cool fills), Fotis, Jarmo Pikka

 

[Werckmeister Harmonies]

My personal favourites are Van Williams from Nevermore and Proscriptor from Absu. I also have a soft spot for Pete Sandoval(Morbid Angel).

 

[SkeletonWitch]

Dave Lombardo

Igor Cavalera

Martin Lopez

Gene Holgan

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

The drummer for Pagan Reign owned! Loved the shit he played
And Max Pilo on Sign of the Winner and Dust to Dust was absolutely perfect

 

[CF87]

Lars Ulrich.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

forgot to add Protector from Summoning...creative genius imo

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

holy fuck! How could I forget Proscriptor!!!

 

[The Emptier]

that guy is crazy

my favorites are

hannes grossmann
tomas haake
martin lopez

mainly because they combine speed and really great groovy/technical stuff.

 

[el barto]

Simon O'Laoghaire from Primordials drumming always gets me. A lot of nice touches hidden in it.

 

[Raina]

Ingo Schwichtenberg, Martin Lopez, Frost, Tomas Haake (and I'm not a big fan of Meshuggah), also Negru (though sloppy at times, has some really interesting drumming) Protector from Summoning and John Bonham.

 

[Cpl.Lee]

Martin Lopez - Sorry,,, Opeth is my favorite band.

Inferno - I like Behemoth only because Infernos' drumming makes me want to go ape shit and break something.

Vinnie Paul - Nobody likes Pantera here?

Last but not least,

Tomas Haake... This guy must be an alien octopus or something. Makes me want to puke just thinking about playing his shit.
