cant think of his name right now but one of the best without a doubt is the Melvins drummer. i also like Mindrots drummer, the drummer from Ved Buens Ende, Candiria, just about everyone that has already been named and the drum machine for Mortician Enemy Soil etc......

Favourite drummers, in order:

1) Hellhammer- I utterly worship this guy (and it's a cool name!)
2) John Douglas (Anathema)- he's not flashy, but he's got a cool style.
3) Shaun Steels (MDB)- wasn't overly stunned by his work with Anathema, but with MDB he just kills!! The space he gives to everything, keeping it slow while never getting boring, he really adds a dimension to the music (and I love his cymbol work).
4) Gene Hoglan- he should be at number one, it's just been ages since I heard him do something at the complexity level of Death. IMHO the best technical player in metal of the last few years.
5) the guy on the new Ulver CD.... oh wait, that's a drum machine............

 

[Hawk]

Symphony X drummer Jason Rullo. The human metronome!!

 

[svenske kocken]

guy from defleshed/new dark funeral..can't think of his name

Matte Modin.
