top-3 drummers

[Sadistik]

why just the first two albums? you just trying to be cult?

No, It's more of a comment on the quality of the albums than a comment on his skill level. I just think they set the bar really high with BMF and NSV, and haven't been able to match up. He is phemomenal, bu those first two albums just had that "teetering on the brink of madness" feel that they seem to have lost....just a matter of personal opinion. Also, now that Mike is gone, my least favorite aspect is gone as well , so we'll see how this new singer is....Mike was getting a little to "core" in his singing, often sounding like a rough shout...."Pardon me, waiter, but there seems to be some core in my metal":Smokedev: :Smokedev:

 

[J the TyranT]

[Dead]

Three pages of replies and not one person mentioned Pete Sandoval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[J the TyranT]

Sandoval is alllll speed. Speed isnt much to me. So I dont name him.

[Smartass]

...plus Tony Laureano's faster and does some catchy Hoglanisms too. I'm pretty sure he'll finally get some recognition when the new Nile record's finished.

 

[Jim-bob]

Reinert makes Hoglan look like Lars Ulrich

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Lars GirlBitch rules man.. he is the king of drumming... i mean, who else can play 'Kick, Snare, Kick, Snare' like that??



Haaaaaaaaaaa hah ha ahah haaah h haaaah a ha

[jimbobhickville]

just to clarify, I am not the Jim-bob that commented above. Though I do think Reinert is better than Hoglan.

 

[J the TyranT]

Hoglan is such a badass because he's so effortless. His ability is great. He may not do all the polyrhythmic jazz that Reinert pulls out, but, he may have never tried to either.. Hoglan: "just hits things.. hard, and a lot.". He's a badass, his playing is almost entirely effortless, and his approach is original.

Reinert is great.. Reinert is a very very skilled drummer, but his originality... well.....................

[WebBits]

i would go for:

Richard Christy
Gene Hoglan
Hellhammer

can i squeeze Dave Lombardo ?

 

[Necrobobsledder]

holy shit have you guys ever heard of origin? this guy is the most technical drummer i have ever seen... i think he is better than richard christy. i forget his name but man... this guy isnt human. i have never seen somebody with so many cymbals in my life.. and he actually uses them all too. one handed drum rolls. never ending blasts, double bass, and cymbal technique it isnt even funny. if you guys can check out origin i suggest you check out the songs "disease called man", "larvae of the lie" and "vomit you out" i havent heard the entire new album yet (because it isnt out) but "larvae of the lie" is easily the most insane drumming i have ever heard in my life. but ya onto my list

the drummer from Origin
Richard Christy
the drummer from Yattering

 

[bladibla]

totally sucked when he was in Angelcorpse though

 

[Austral Soul]

mmmm
Gene hoglan
Asgeir Michaelson
trym
tomas Haake
the drummer of Atheist too i dont remember his name but....
they rule the drums !!!!!

 

[sydystyk666]

Sid Falck from old Overkill, Ventor from Kreator and Gene Hoglan from you pick a group

 

[Morgana]

Really hard to choose for me, Asgeir Mickelson is one of my fave.
