Spiffy, eh?
I figure someone would have a rough time making a case against him being the best all around drummer to have ever walked on this earth. But most people in the metal genre never hear him...pityWhat about Buddy Rich? He was a kick-ass drummer.

It's the blastbeats d00d. I have great hand technique but my feet aren't extremely fast yet.

Derek Roddy? How exactly is he good? I can't stand his drumming in Hate Eternal. It's so boring it nearly puts me to sleep.

No, it's not the best. I even liked Symbolic better.
Anyway, this is no Death discussion. Flo is good, but a little too dry and bland for me. Fast, yeah, interesting, not really.

I really think martin lopez (former opeth drummer) is underrated
not the fastest or most uber technical, but he had a very interesting style that added alot to most opeth songs (especially drumming on songs like "closure")

Hello there
Where on earth do you come up with this crap. Everyone knows Martin Lopez is an excellent drummer. Far from underrated.

you're actually right. man, i checked out one of his solos and i must say he puts buddy rich to shame 10 time over! wow. i've been missing out my whole life.I assume you have never heard lars ulrich drum

really?? he almost never comes up in discussions like these

I may be biased because I really like Cryptopsy, but I think Flo is amazing.
His work is magical and intense at the same time. I think in terms of skill, hes up with the greats. But he needs that certain X factor to be an elite. You know, Pete Sandoval has that X factor. Hendrix had it for guitar. Just the something that differentiates you from everybody else while still being amazingly skilled.

Well sure, he's not very technical, but I've seen videos of his solos and they're great. I guess I didn't think about anything but the videos when I mentioned him.

I reckon he's a gun. the old albums rule and 'once wa snot' has really grown on me recently. Although I agree with the 'wankery' comment, after meeting him and having quite an extensive chat I found (a smost highly skilled people) he was very modest and eager to learn new shit.
I know his 'style' isn't everyone's cup of tea, you can't deny he's uber-latented and dedicated to innovation. I'd rather hear that than a drum-machine-wannabe album with blasts for 45 minutes.
