A list I came up with, I think it's pretty accurate.
The (is their main stand out in my opinion)
1.Martin Lopez - Opeth (Groove)
2.Nick Barker - Dimmu borgir Cradle of filth Etc Attribute (Fucking Speed)
3.Kai kahto - WinterSun (Speed, tempo changes)
4.Chris adler - Lamb of God (Tightness, most unqie drum arrangements and fill ins.
5.Gene Hoglan - SYL death testament(Legend, Speed)

"think its pretty accurate" - you're kidding right? :Spin:
I love noobs..

 

[ElectricWiz]

Weird, Danny Carey should be on all these lists. I suppose it's all subjective.

1. Danny Carey
2. Neil Peart (Not a fan, but I recognize his ability)
3. Martin Lopez (Really is as great as they say)
4. John Bonham
5. Not sure.....

Just consider everybody after Daney Carey a tie in my book.

Guys, let's not forget the mighty Hellhammer!

For myself, I don't really know how to judge drummers... I'll put up a list with the one that I like the most because of their groove and their precision (I don't care about LUDICROUS SPEED).

Martin Lopez
Johan Langell
Mike Portnoy
Hellhammer
Gene Hoglan
Richard Christy

i know this is top 5 drummers only, and lopez is great, but anders nordin sounded well good to me.

To be honest. I never liked Anders drumming. It wasn`t good and double kicks were not used very good. I was very happy when i heard Lopez from Amon Amarth was taking his place.

I don't like Nordin that much... but I loved DeFarfalla.
