Who do you think is the Most Skilled Drummer???

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Thomen Stauch (Blind Guardian)....best power metal drummer there is, one of the best overall around right now IMO. Personality all his own with the technique to match.
David Husvik (Extol)........w00t teh tech metal!!111
Richard Christy (Death, Iced Earth) ...his IE stuff ain't nothin special, and neither is the band, but I love his work on TSOP.

Mike T from RAGE (NOT RATM)

Hail RAGE fan! Welcome

[UNDEROATH777]

I'm going with Peter Wildoer, very strong metal drummer with a good sense of jazz dynamics.I'm still waiting for that fusion project of his !

Which Band is he from?

 

[Trench]

Hmmm, I would have to go with 3 drummers and they all played in the same band, DEATH!!

Sean Reinhard
Gene Hoglan
Richard Christy

Chuck sure knew how to pick them.

Aside from those 3, I think Nick Menza, Thomen (Blind Guardian), The Guy from Rhapsody, and of course Nicko McBrain!!

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

Faust

 

[byrne]

Ringo Starr from The Beatles
hahaha

nah, wouldnt have a clue, there are heaps and heaps of good drummers out there.

I agree with Nick Menza, Mike Portnoy etc etc.

 

[Bryant]

I have to vote for Mark Zonder of Fates Warning. He is a flat out amazing drummer.

Bryant

 

[Terrifyer]

I cant believe you havent mentioned Trym yet,
I love his technique in the toms and his speed in the double bass

all hail Trym (he is the zyklon drummer, ex emperor if anyone didnt know)

Good call on Nicko, very solid player.

Alex Holzworth (ex-Sieges Even) is Rhapsody's drummer. I think Luca should loosen the reins a little or write some more varied stuff in the future though to let him flex his talent.

 

[Nuclear Vampire]

Nick Barker
Neil Peart
Hellhammer
Martin Lopez
Flo Mournier
Away

 

[Thrashard]

my top-five:

1) Ted Kirkpatrick (Tourniquet) (best drummer in the universe)
2) Charlie Benante (Anthrax,S.O.D.) (best drummer in the universe besides Ted Kirkpatrick)
3) Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc.,Voodocult,..)
4) Igor Cavalera (Sepultura)
5) Paul Mazurkiewicz (Cannibal Corpse)

Dragonforce lol, now if that isn't a power metal name then i don't know what is

 

[Russell]

Well, I'd have to mention Buddy Rich, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Louie Bellson, Gregg Bisonette and Dennis Chambers as I believe they could all out-play the majority of metal drummers with ease..
