Apart from all these people posted, Tim Mallare (I think I didn't see his name). Tim is an animal at the drums. BTW, Is it true that Richard Christy quit music for Howard Stern?

Hey, no one mentioned John Macaluso from Ark. I think he is a genius, especially on the 2nd Ark cd, Burn the sun. So diverse, so unique. And eventhough he almost overplay, all of his drumming fits to the music 100%. You should check him and Ark, seriously!

He's awesome. Perhaps the most underrated drummer these days... like his band

Yes, unfortunately he is leaving Iced Earth. To audition for the replacement of Stuttering John. There is a quote from him on his home page here .

I wouldn't be able to say top three (especially not in order) but the following are all in my favourites list:

Vinnie Paul
Flo Mounier
Gene Hoglan
Tomas Haake
Paul Mazurkiewics (just because he's f*cking cool)
Martin Lopez (a bit repetative occasionally, yet very rad nonetheless)

 

[Claus_Byrial]

John Longstreth! (Ex.-angel corpse, skinless and origin, now in the red chord)

This dude is out of this world!

 

[Control_Denied]

Steve Shelton from Confessor...

 

[G-Master]

In no particular order here are my favs:

Gene Hoglan
Neil Peart
Sean Reinert
Dave Lombardo
Richard Christy
Bobby Jarzombek

Oh yeah and now that I have finally registered on these forums I would like to indulge in sounding similar to a fanboy in this next statement.

Steve, you fucking rule man!


Ahem.
