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

[UNDEROATH777]

Bink 182...what are you doing here???

 

[SculptedCold]

The major point is that beside speed these guys show groove, independence and dynamics. Some things that tend to be lacking in metal drummers.

Only Flo Mournier is in the same league.

Again, Proscriptor McGovern.

 

[Jondur]

Proscriptor is an excellent fast drummer. I love his stuff - some excellent snare syncopation etc BUT not even close to the drummers I mentioned.

Board - he was doing accented 16ths with his feet when I saw him and I was pretty impressed - it must have been close to 190 - 200 bpm (obviously not Sandoval speed) but when he added the hi hat off the beat then I just fainted!

Me say: This is double bass technique!!! ---

Lars Ulrich: I'm ashamed that such a crappy Danish drummer could be considered to be one of the worlds best

i never said lars was the best. i said he sucked as a matter of fact. just that i liked some of his drumming on and justice for all... is that ok? i didn't say it was good just that i liked it. which i thought was the best evaluation on drummers i could make seeing as i don't play drums (though i do know enough to say lars isn't by a long shot one of the best. boom tish boom tish anyone??)
If you want to know what parts i liked: i like some of the drums on harvester of sorry at the start, some of the drums on blackened, the frayed ends of sanity and dyers eve too...... i'd say all easy as piss to play but i think it sounds good.

 

[Russell]

I saw a video where he did something like that, but the double bass stuff didn't sound superfast, so I thought he might be using only a single bass drum pedal and then just play super, super fast!

Yeah, I've seen him do that.. You sit there thinking "ok, that's pretty fast double bass but not the best I've heard" then he starts using his other foot on the hihat

You should get the buddy rich memorial concert video, that has a very nice solo on from him
