I think your totally wrong about Hoglan. Everything i've heard from musicians who have worked with him always go on about how much of an exellent drummer he is. Alot of people in the music buisiness have a shit load of respect for him, and that doesnt happen by just being good at speed...
Take another listen dude.
And about Nick Barker and Mike Portnoy >>>>

Well, fair enough if you think I'm wrong, but just because somebody has a shitload of respect doesn't necessarily make them the best. There are lots of factors that could put Gene in a position to have that respect. He's played on a lot of classic albums, he's quite obviously a top bloke, he's one of the original set of awesome thrash drummers. He deserves that respect.
BUT
I'm not going to change my opinion that he's a limited drumer when it comes to anything other than speed, unless someone can reccommend to me a record where he disproves that. Go listen to his work with DTB, and then listen to Lopez. You might see what I mean then.
And also, as far as nuances and inventive drum patterns are concerned, how in hell do you figure that Gene must be that much better than Barker and Portnoy?! Why don't you take another listen, dude, because I think you're talking out of your ass because the majority told you that Gene is better. He has his place, and I am fond enough of him to include him in my favourite drummers, but just like any other drummer, there are things he can't do that some of the others I listed can.
Just ask Gene, ad he'll tell you that he's a limited drummer. Have you ever read SYL's tour diary? Talk about self-deprecation! ('I am the worst drummer on this tour, all the other drummers here pwn me')

I think I have to agree with you on Gene aye.. I love his drumming, but your right, he is VERY limited at least from what Ive heard from him anyway... I think a drummer who does what he does AND alot more would be Dave Lombardo from Slayer/Fantomas etc. as I've heard him do crazy Jazz and shit like that as well as extremely fast metal drumming. Not mention he played this fast before anyone else was doing it in the thrash metal scene.
Barker is an awesome drummer, I especially love his work on In defiance of existence...
One I do NOT agree with on though is Mike Portney.. His is one of the most boring, uninventive, over-rated drummers ever. He is basically the Lars Ulrich of progresive rock/metal!!!

i think this thread may be the quintessential example of everything wrong with metal, and music in general these days.
