Drumwork

[The_Isle]

Can anyone name me some bands with great drumming? Not only technicality but also how it fits with the music. Any genre is fine. Even non-metal.

Absu - Tara

Devourment - 1.3.8 is an awesome album..also..try Rush..and also try Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane...all great drumming

death - any album starting with human: some of the best dm drumming ever imo
cynic - same drummer as on the human album
cryptopsy - speeeeedddd
opeth - cool latin style
strapping young lad - geeeeeennneee

 

[CAIRATH]

Fear Factory - Demanufacture

Raymond Herrera sounds like a drum machine on it. Which could be seen as a bad thing, were it not for the fact that it fits really well with that kind of music.

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Cryptopsy
Absu
Arcturus

Might also want to check out other progressive bands Hellhammer is involved with, although apparently he uses triggers, which apparently some people don't think is a good thing. I'm not a drummer or much of a drum person though, don't know much. (Arcturus drummer aka Jan Axel Van Bloomberg)

Spastic Ink - Ink Complete dr. Bobby Jarzombek.

Everyone else feel free to stop your suggestions.

Vesperian Sorrow's album "Beyond the Cursed Eclipse." The drum work is phenominal.

Check out this song. From an Ever Blackened Star

edit: THIS IS NOT A LEAK OR ANYTHING! The song, and 6 others, are available for free download from their homepage.

I was actually going to say that....but then....didn't.

If you want to see some of his amazing ability, check out this video of him playing "Aquanet" from 'Ink Compatible.' He also actually has played in a bunch of more popular but much less technical bands.
