[nordic viking lord]

José Pasillas II - Incubus - SCIENCE

You should check out Chad Sexton from 311 if you like him, he's Joses' biggest influence. Chad has mad chops, I recommend songs from Music, Grassroots, or Transistor. He keeps it simple a lot of the time, but listen to his live solo on Applied Science, it's sick.

 

[Genocide]

J. READ You Poofs

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Chad Sexton kicks ass. I'd rather listen to him mix it up than Hellhammer blasting away.

 

[Lanterns]

Horgh and Daniel Erlandsson are among my faves.

 

[FromShatteredSkies]

Either Richard Christy from The Sound Of Perserverance, or Yanic Bercier from Quo Vadis (the one from Canada, not the cover band from Australia.)

 

[MightyDrynwhyl]

uhh Hellhammer, Trym, Proscriptor(hes bananas!)

cant think of any others right now

 

[FailingAcension]

uhh Hellhammer, Trym, Proscriptor(hes bananas!)

He is bananas! Sooo fast and creative. She cries a silent lake (I think thats it) is insane!

And Chad Sexton is pretty groovy when it comes to drumming. But if they went head on head:
Hellhammer > Chad

 

[VitalMarcus]

Gar Samuelson was Megadeth's original drummer for their first two albums- Killing is my business and Peace Sells, he was a jazz drummer that somehow fell into megadeth-probably the lure of doing alot of drugs. Both albums had shitty production, and the drums were pushed to the back and muddy. With the remasters, one finaly can hear a really excellent drummer. He died i think in 1989 or 88 of a heroin overdose.

He died in 99 or 98 of Liver Failure(or complications due to, or something close to that).

Mine:
Dave Culross on Despise The Sun(Suffocation)
David Suzuki on Dechristianize(Vital Remains, and the trigged sound wasn't his fault, either)
Black Lourde Of Crucifixion on Mocking The Philanthropist(Grand Belial's Key)

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

Flo and Nicko without a doubt.. Trym and Nick.. all the goodo nes heh

 

[Herry]

Randy Black
Dave Lombardo
"guy from Hate Eternal"

and the one who kicks asses!! Mike Mangini!!!

 

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

Haha, why would anyone pick Tim Yeung. He's fast. Big fucking whoop.

Mine are Proscriptor McGovern, Leon Macey, Inferno, Flo Mounier, Danny Carey, and Toma Corn.

 

[Under a Stone]

Antonio Leon - The Chasm
Igor Cavalera - Sepultura
Ken Owens - Carcass
Dave Lombardo - Slayer(old)
Mike Smith - Suffocation
Munruthel - Nokturnal Mortum
Raymond Herrera - Fear Factory

 

[Skintrade]

Richard Christy, master of technique and off beat extravaganza
Derek Roddy, just listen to everything he has done or even better watch him live!

 

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

What is everyone basing their picks off? Technical supremity, or the fact that you "like them", or what?

 

[Funeral Portrait]

Vitek - Decapitated (I for one am STUNNED by the lack of appreciation he has recieved in this thread.)

Doc - Vader

Nick Barker - Unemployed

Quincy Groven - Embalmed (whups thats my band! hehe)

 

[SculptedCold]

man.....for all your wide tastes i'm surprised you like such relatively plain and straightforward drummers so much Funey!! don't know what your drummer is like though of course.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

i like my drummers straight forward

nah actually i judge on speed, i know it's not right, but anyone who can do fast double bass makes me go "WHAAAOWW!!!!!!"

my drummer is a fuckin genius though, god damn is he incredible.
