Who are your top 5 metal drummers

[Ender Rises]

My top 5 favorite are:

Mike Justin (Unearth)
Ben Dussault (Throwdown)
Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, and various other bands)
Dave Chavarri (Ill Niño)
Steve Asheim (Deicide)

You know, for being a Korn fanboy, you have great taste.

Pete Sandoval
Inferno
George Kolias

P.S. Fenriz is a shitty drummer.

Listen to Soulside Journey. That drum work is far from shitty.

Alright, I shall.

What's so great about Kollias other than that he's fast? Derek Roddy would blow him out of the water easily.

Nothing really, but he is so fast that he really stands out in my mind. Just being fast can be quite enjoyable, especially when the guitar work is as interesting as Nile.

I think Kollias is an amazing drummer, after seeing all the videos online.

Agreed. He also managed to play all songs from their back catalogue almost perfectly on their first rehearsal.

Impressive.

Dave Lombardo
Fenriz

No offence, but why is Fenriz on here? I'm fairly confident that several of my friends could drum as well as he does, and they're shite.

 

[Mythos Inibri]

I like his drumming

 

[HearEvilSeeEvil]

i'm not exactly sure who i can say the BEST are, because i'm not an expert on drumming.

and there are a lot of badass metal drummers out there, but i'll go with

Dave Lombardo (Slayer)
Chris Adler (Lamb of God)
Danny Carey (Tool) (I know, Tool isn't exactly metal, but i felt he needed to be on this list)
Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel)
Igor Cavalera (Sepultura)
