Drumwork

[circus_brimstone]

Beneath the Massacre, Gorod, Quo Vadis, Capharnaum...

 

[plaguewilder]

Wolverine Blues by Entombed has some great drumming on it. Also the 2 Quicksand albums are good.

 

[skeptik]

Summoning has the most fitting drums (real or drum machine) I can ever recall hearing, including Lugburz.

 

[Toby]

Goratory - Rice On Suede
Anything by Origin
Anything by Nile
Anything by Hate Eternal
plus heaps of the others that people have already said.

 

[Scarifier]

Curse You All Men

 

[GyakuSatsu]

Revenge, Conqueror and in particular Axis of Advance. J. read (who drums/drummed for all of these) has one of the ugliest and coolest drumming styles I've heard. He essentially just blasts forever, never rolls the double kick - possibly because he can't - and repeats variations of the same fucking awesome fill over and over. Don't let the messiness fool you though, he is fucking tight and skilled in a weird way. I love it.

spawn of possession
Nile

 

[Naggamanteh]

Devourment - 1.3.8 is an awesome album..

Absulutely, and the drumming plays a major part.

Also check out Chad Walls' drumming on:

Brodequin - Festival of Death
Brodequin - Instruments of Torture

 

[DE]

Opeth

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

The new Nile album Annihilation of the Wicked has the best drumming on a metal album I have ever heard in my life period. The speed, the precision, the kickass fills, its all perfect.

 

[estë]

Dream Theater - Awake
Pain of Salvation - One Hour by the Concrete Lake

 

[Krilons Resa]

Today is The Day - In The Eyes of God (Bran Dailor's best outing to date; amazing...not to mention the most pissed off album ever)

 

[Crimson Velvet]

I agree with what's been said about Summoning: Drum machine or not, the drums fit the music PERFECTLY, and I'm not one to throw such words around easily.

 

[BlackMetalTyrant]

Most jazz drummers are better than metal drummers though, because they have the chops to play a blast beat if they really wanted to, but they dont. Plus they can do more different timed stuff and more rythym based stuff.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Yeah, but jazz is FUCKING ANNOYING, though...

Seriously, not to be a jerk or anything, but I can't figure how people listen to that crap. It makes me want to punch people...

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

[Black Label]

Anything with chris adler in it. joey jordison is also an awesome drummer. Let me add dave Lombardo in there too.

 

[Edgecrusher]

Today is The Day - In The Eyes of God (Bran Dailor's best outing to date; amazing...not to mention the most pissed off album ever)

That's it, I'm going to give these guys another chance.



P.S.: Peter Wildoer on 'Rusted Angel'.

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe

I back that up.

Origin and Quo Vadis are awesome aswell.

"Most jazz drummers are better than metal drummers though, because they have the chops to play a blast beat if they really wanted to, but they dont. Plus they can do more different timed stuff and more rythym based stuff."

The better drummers are those that have experience in both. A jazz background for odd rhythms and time changes, and a metal background for speed and stamina. And even though double-bass is simple in concept, it's difficult to execute with precision and stamina.

Death's Human and Gorguts Obscura are excellent examples of drummers who have experiece in both and apply it to metal albums.
