Chris Adler isn't that technical or fast, but he has excellent taste and knows exactly where to put what sound. The whole band is excellent at this, and that's what makes them good. They complement each other all the time. I likes me some LOG

Fast doesnt always mean good, Ender. Besides if you'll pay attention to how he works with feet on doublepedal of bassdrum - you'll notice hes damn fast.
About his excellent taste - totally agree. I love his work with cymbals, he really knows how to make the song interesting, making those special "pictures" by drumming sound during the song. He really got feeling to putting a good stuff in their music.

[VampyrRose]

Frost. Excellent work with 1349's Hellfire album.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Brann Dailor
Tomas Corn
Steve Flynn
Sean Reinert
Fenriz (actually some extremely cool stuff on the new one)

I used to think Horgh was pretty great, but then I realized how easy it is to play a lot of his Immortal stuff. I was pretty unimpressed with his live performance with Hypocrisy as well.

 

[Death Aflame]

Tomas Corn

That's what I'm saying. I meant that he isn't the fastest guy to pound the skins but he is still very fast on the bass drums, and I should have given him more credit for this, but you still understood my point
