Favourite metal drummers?

[HAvOK]

I'll add to this already long list these ones :

Tommy Portimo (Sonata Arctica)
He might be young but a great future awaits him.

Richard Christy (Iced Earth)

 

[Zarok666]

Yes, Richard Christy rules, too. He played on the last Death and Control Denied albums. His drumsolos at the beginning of some tracks are pretty awesome.

 

[Grishákh]

Dave Macintosh

 

[Destro]

Only one person mentioned Flo Mounier from Cryptopsy. He gets my vote. Anyone who has not heard Cryptopsy should download some. I recommend "Phobophile".

 

[Misanthrope]

Richard Christy - Death's TSOP, Burning inside
Flo Mournier - a little band called Cryptopsy
Sean Reinert - Death's Human, Cynic, Gordian Knot, Aghora.

For some odd reason I feel like mentioning that Gene Hoglan was so impressed with the job of Cryptopsy's drummer at a show that he offered the gent some chicken.

 

[TheReaper]

the best heavy metal drummer, IMHO would be Mat Stancioiu from Labÿrinth and Vision divine, is the fastest that i've ever heard.
and for the technique, style and creativity i like Jukka Nevalainen from Nightwish

 

[Slayed Necros]

Ole Ohman (Ex Dissection,Ex Soulreaper)
Martin Lopez (I'm refering to his work in Amon Amarth)
Hellhammer
Flo Mournier
Gene Hoglan

Anders is one of my favorites, his style is jazzy, simpple and still so amazing! perfect for those albums.

Yeah, Von Blomberg (Hellhammer) drummer of the kovenant and covenant(nexus polaris) is great...kikkailua

 

[Morrigan]

Atomic Steif still rules!!!

Nick Barker from CoF and Dimmu is a seriously fuckin kick ass drummer. I'm sure what Silenoz said was true, but that's probably cuz Nick aint used to that much fuckin beer the night before a live performance(Most of em have like a fuckin keg's worth before that shit). Silenoz practically gets wasted ON fuckin stage and plays. That's another kind of talent altogether, but criticizing Barker for that shit can only be made by someone who has that type of coordination I suppose. Besides, Dimmu's trance melodies are advanced enough to make you feel like you're dodging traffic in the Autobahn while on speed and meth simultaneously if you're trying to follow a drum beat to that shit while heavily intoxicated. Nick still fuckin kicks ass. I gotta give him that much credit.

 

[MacMoney]

Yeah, Barker is fast but I don't know why people praise him as much. There are lots of people faster than him. Lombardo, Hoglan, Sandoval, Hellhammer, Trym etc.

 

[Deadhouse]

Hellhammer and Trym, I like their styles the most.

 

[oroborus]

My favorite drummer at the moment is Mario Duplantier. He's very talented

 

[ESA1996]

... That's one big bump don't you think? 14 years between posts Didn't even know this place was that old.

 

[iPot]

Never underestimate the ignorance of newfags.

 

[CiG]

Fenriz, Philthy Animal, Chris Reifert.

 

[Hatebreeder01]

That's a massive bump indeed! BUT, if you scroll up, there is a member named ''Morrigan'', coincidence? I think not!!!

I noticed it too Said Morrigan hasn't logged in since 2006 so it's not like they changed their name after Morrigan was released either

Charlie Benante is good. All of Anthraxs (sic) music is really rhythmoriented and dynamic since he's the main songwriter. Nick Menzas playing on RiP and CtE was badass too.
