[ElDiablo1369]

Jaane Sarenpaa from The Crown is inhuman . . . and of course there's Benante, Menza, Hoglan, etc.

 

[coolsnow7]

Dave Lombardo is by far the best drummer out of all of these, though not my favorite
Sean Reinert
Gene Hoglan
John Tempesta is pretty good with Testament...
Richard Christy isn't a thrash drummer, awesome anyway...

 

[Lordlindsey]

1. Charlie
2. Gary Lindsey
3. Gonzo (from the Muppets)

 

[KY_Fried442]

Actually, Ulrich USED TO BE good. Just like Metallica.

Oh I agree 100% Who knows he still might be good but he sure as fuck hasn't shown it in the past 10 years or so.

 

[iron_maiden]

charlie benante
dave lombardo
vinnie paul ( suprised he is on no-ones list yet )
gene hoglan

Mickey Dolenz

"Take the last train to Clarkesville..."

 

[DoctorAcula]

ken owen from carcass..amazing

 

[coolsnow7]

Ken Owens wasn't amazing. Good, maybe. A little flourish here and there, but nothing extremely complex or that made your eyes bulge out of your skull.

 

[fabulous_disaster]

Dave Lombardo (Slayer), Tom Hunting (Exodus), Paul Bostaph (Forbidden/Slayer/Testament), John Tempesta, Charlie Benante, Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel), Dennis Gasser (Xentrix)

^^^^^^^^^ Good list......I'll just say Paul Bostaph again though

 

[ThraxDude]

1. Charlie
2. Gary Lindsey
3. Gonzo (from the Muppets)

1. Yes. Charlie is #1
2. I didn't know Gary Lindsey played drums??
3. Do you mean 'Gonzo (from Armored Saint)' ...or.. 'Animal' (from the muppets)?

 

[Lidds78]

Charlie B (Anthrax)
Dave lombardo (Slayer)
Joey Jordinson (Slipknot) - best newcomer

Not quite in the same genre, but check out Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose.

 

[aceofspades618]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Clive Burr or Gar Samuelsson yet? And Philthy Animal Taylor is my favorite drummer of all time.

 

[Silent_Scream]

Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel , Death , Testament, Strapping Young Lad) - THE BEST!
Dave Lombardo (Slayer , Testament , Grip Inc , Fantomas)
Igor Cavalera (Sepultura)
Charlie Benante (Anthrax , S.O.D.)
Tom Hunting (Exodus)

Just for the record Lombardo > Bostaph

Dude no way is Lars Ulrich a good drummer

 

[DeathsHead]

Dude no way is Lars Ulrich a good drummer

Lars was a great drummer--keep in mind the key word is was

 

[The_Void]

Amen to that, while I love the metallica up to and including justice, lars never did anything to impress me at all

Fave drummers for me are

Dave Lombardo
Gene Hoglan
Nicko McBrain
Clive Burr
Nick Menza
Vinnie Paul
John Bonham
Phil Rudd
Philthy Animal

too many others and I am drunk as hell to think

 

[Silent_Scream]

Lars was never a good drummer, tell me a song where Lars shows off his "skill"?

Dyers Eve not included , he recorded 3 drum sessions and mixed them into the song , which is why its not on their set

 

[Arg_Hamster]

yeah igor!!! and of course charlie and lombardo...

ken owen from carcass..amazing

Yeah, back when he was healthy Ken was the best.
