Walter Ryan.... he did the MH Australian tour when Chris decided not to do it... last I heard he moved out east and was with Madball, but no idea if they're even together anymore.
he never was a full time member and yes madball is still around, they have an ep out called nyhc.

hunting is a good drummer, i dont believe he's in the same league as say lombardo or bostaph but nevertheless he's great at what he does with exodus.

vinnie paul is another great drummer not mentioned in the thread.
 
Hunting's drumming was outstanding on Bonded By Blood, probably the best in thrash at the time. On the new Exodus, I don't think he meets his own standard. However, I don't think most of the material is well-suited to his playing style (or anyone's, for that matter ... some of those simplistic songs just don't require much of the drummer).

Lombardo will always be my favorite thrash drummer. Always.

I agree with the first part 100%...BBB/Hunting ....probably the best at that time.........The songs on the new album are just not as complex, & don't utilize his skills, as much as they could of......you notice I did include that in my review of TOTD.......but I still think(TOTD) they do require a good drummer like him..........But I get your point & almost agree with all of it........
