Favorite Drummers?

[~Neurotica]

ok, Carcassian, come to Ukraine break mine too. I like Portnoy.
Just cant get whats wrong about him in ya opinion?

 

[Zephyrus]

anyone who doesnt like st. anger because of the production is a lame ass.

i like the production. i wish more albums sounded like that.

it's the music/lyrics that are weak.

yeah the title track ripped lyrics from Damage Inc., a great song. They have completely lost all originality.

 

[Burkhard]

Helge Andreas Norbakken
Terje Isungset
Michel Langevin
Mads Solås
Alex Holzwarth

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I think that for Metallica, the album was shit, but if an unknown band had done it it would have been awesome
The lyrics are great IMO. The Unnamed Feeling is deliciously dark and the lyrics were what made it. The sound was good but it did require some getting used to. The conspicuous lack of solos killed the album for me though. Maybe Kirk lost his Wah pedal?

 

[Nico]

No love for Proscriptor?

 

[Teh Grimace]

he's short and wears cowboy hats and talks too much. other than that he's alright.

 

[cookiecutter]

Ken Owen (he isnt the most technical, but his drum patterns are some of the most memorable)

Corporal Jigsore Quandary

Corporal Jigsore Quandary

'Excised and anatomised, deviscerated disarray
The torso diverged with pride'

 

[Profanity]

John Bonham by far. He had unique style and experimentation while at the same time remaining true to Zep. He was a strong heartbeat which held together one of the greatest Rock bands of all time.

Nicko McBrain - His explosive power makes Iron Maiden almose sound like a Power Metal band.

Dave Lombardo

 

[forthedyingbeautiful]

Pete Sandoval

Solos get boring especially when you can predict what they'll sound like. What's so good about hearing a guitarist going up and down the blues scale when the song is in an interlude?

 

[Alongside Death]

A.zk6
Pistol Pete
Nicolas Barker
James King

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

you put a.zk6 on but no J. Read, you nutcase.

 

[Alongside Death]

Ok so it will be James Read also.

[Killbot]

Mithras = shit.

I already know your opinion of Mithras, but Leon Macey is still an awesome drummer.

 

[Mr_Haze]

This makes no sense to me whatsoever

 

[WNxScythe]

When it comes to threads like this, WN, please, don't even bother responding anymore because we already know your answer and it has been noted countless times. We'll just assume your answer is Gorguts and move on.

Hehe... was wondering when someone would get annoyed. What can I say though, Gorguts

Oh and two of my other favorite drummers are the guys from Primordial and Atheist. And for non-metal: Benny Greb. LOVE that guy.

Anyone else think Flo is overrated? I mean, he's incredibly fast and all, but I don't like his dynamics.

Example:

compared with

No contest IMO. Benny's style's is infinitely more interesting.

 

[skeptik]

Of course Flo Mounier is overrated. I think everyone but fanboys know that.
