Deadnight Warrior gets my vote. Espcialy the lil' tap on the ride bell just before the first verse. That bit really hits the musical g-spot.

CoB-Songs have NOT (!!!) the "best Drum ever"! No way!
Jaska shows not even 10 % of his abilities. I would even add, that his drumming is pretty boring. Ok, it gives what the song wants, but it's the same pattern in the most of the songs. That's fucking poor.
@fastbodom:
Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal and a Blues Band)
George Kollias (Nile)
Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy)
Steve Gadd (Jazz Drummer)
Erlandsson (Arch Enemy)
look for them on youtube, they are REAL maniacs...
Well, firstly, wasn't this topic about which COB song has the best drumming? And not who is the best drummer in the world?
Secondly, do you play drums yourself? It's funny, because always when the discussion is about Jaska or drums, many people just starts advertising other drummers, and always the fast drummers (Derek, George, Flo...), even if they don't know much about drumming. Ok, Derek is one of the better ones, because he can play other styles pretty well, too. But let me tell you, a super fast drummer does NOT automatically mean that he is good. Jaska may not be the world's fastest, but he has a lot of feeling and creativity. You're damn right he gives the songs what they need, and not some drum solos in every song. That is also a very important thing in drumming, if you just try to show your skills in almost every song, you aren't a good drummer.
But same pattern in most of the songs? Isn't that half the point? That a drummer is recognizable? And boring? Try learning a COB song perfectly on drums, and maybe you start noticing the little details he adds, that makes it interesting and challenging to play.
Now that you mentioned jazz... why Steve Gadd? Because he is famous? Dave Weckl was a professional jazz drummer at the age of 16, and he is arguably the best jazz drummer when it comes to technique.
EDIT: A good quote from Cannibal Corpse's drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz: "I like to play by the song's requirements, my goal is not to be the fastest or technically craziest drummer on the planet. I play by the song's terms, I don't play to amaze other dummers."
