Most underrated drummer in all of metal...

[svenske kocken]

Pete Hammoura (ex-Nile)! His drumming on Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka and Black Seeds Of Vengeance is utter amazing! Brann Dailor from Mastodon is seldom mentioned, but also he is amazing. His drumming on Mastodon's Remission and Today Is The Day's In The Eyes Of God is stunning. And Janne Saarenpää of The Crown of course. Probably the coolest drummer in the world.

Yeah, all three are completely underrated, nobody ever mentions any of them...

Nick Barker is fucking overrated. I can name 1 million drummers that are better than that fat bastard!1!11

 

[DaMenace123]

Max Kolesne of Krisiun is godlike. My friend thought he was a drum machine for a while until I told him different. The bass pedaling on the intro to Ageless Venemous is TOO perfect.

YES.

 

[OneFootBlaster]

Czral from Cadaver Inc./Ved Buens Ende/Dodheimsgard! That guy is fucking INHUMAN! Also the dude from RottenSound. Kai I think his name is...

 

[CERVEZA]

Since most of you talk about Novembre I must go and get me some of their stuff. About drummers. Janne Saarenpaa is AWESOME. He's the reason I love The Crown. Also Flo from Cryptopsy and R Crhisty.

 

[Nugent Goes AOL]

Yes, Mastodon's drummer is phenomenal. I love him to death.

Horgh from Immortal isn't mentioned very much, and I think he's jaw-dropping, especially on "Sons of Northern Darkness"

hehe, I don't think he's underrated; I see praise written about him on here quite a bit
But yeah, he is freaking awesome on Deliverance, it's what got my attention immediately......

Ya know, I'll probably catch a bunch of shit from the elitist "True Metal fans" here for this.... but I really think the drummer from Mudvayne is pretty underrated. Nobody really sounds like him, and he has a very unique style. Rhythmically, there's not many people who can replicate that kind of syncopation. I mean, there's plenty of Ray Herrera types that can rip out machine gun double bass at the drop of a hat, but not many that can turn on a dime as fast as the Mudvayne dood.

I actually think they're very unerrated and unrespected by the metal community as a whole, just for the fact that they're from the US where damn near all metal bands are retarded.

Their new album is great though.

What I dig about Nick, is the fact that ALL his fills seem to enhance the overall dynamics of Dimmu's songs. They NEVER seem out of place, and are always on point. Seems his cymbal crashes ALWAYS come at just the right times. He has a great way of complimenting the rest of the band in addition to being very skillful. It never seems as he's just there to keep time like many other modern metal drummers these days....

The drummer from mastodon is amazing, yeah. I think Chris Pennie from dillinger is the best drummer I've heard, but then he's pretty well known as one of the greatest drummers around. I think the drummer from the Red Chord should get a lot more recognition, awesome drummer.

 

[Aborted Fetus]

Doesn't Raymond Herrera use triggers on his bass drums (and probably the rest of his set too)?

As for those who mentioned Gene Hoglan, you're absolutely right. If you've ever seen him live, you know he's a fucking machine.

 

[jeanreno]

Andy Ward from Camel!

 

[Static]

Someone must have heard David Sandstrom's Refused stuff...

He was a drumming god, I wish he got lots of recognition... Too late cos Refused is gone now...such a solid style, classy fills and AMAZING drum rolls...

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Black Seeds of Vengance was not Pete Hammoura, it was Hate Eternal's Derik Roddy. Derik filled in for Pete on that entire album due to Pete suffering an injury to his arm that does not permitt him to drum anymore.

Whenever or not he is the best or not, Richard Christy is seriously underrated to me ( he deserves to be at least on the top 3 list and its usually forgotten )( He is the currend iced earth drummer and if you think that is good i can just tell you that he is mediocre and uncreative at BEST when compared to Burning Inside drumming )

I agree 100%!! Richard Christy is a drum-GOD!!! The Iced Earth material is NOTHING compared to Death's Sound of Perserverance! That album is a must have for anyone who follows drummers...it's amazing.

Ah, you're right. Forgot that, or something. But Roddy is also a solid drummer.
