Who is generally accepted as the fastest drummer?

[Kushantaiidan]

be it blast beats or double kicks or whatever.. who is the fastest?

just curious.. I like teh fasts!!!

 

[Sadistik]

Hellhammer (aka Jan Axel van Blomberg). Check out anything from Grand Declaration...

 

[Brutalizer]

Blastbeats: Maybe Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy)?
Double kicks: Sean Reinert (Death, Cynic), Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel)

 

[Kushantaiidan]

I assumed Hellhammer.

He played in Mayhem and Arcturus among others yes?

 

[YaYo]

nah its Lars Ulrich all the way. He's so fast he can hit almost every tom at least once in an entire bar.

 

[Prophetix]

If you want double bass speed kicks.. Its either the drummer from Strapping Young Lad or Fear Factory.. Those two guys are really fast..

If you want talent.. Theres Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy and Rush's Neil Peart

THATS THE FUNNIEST THING I HEARD ALL YEAR!

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

maybe Sean Reinert (Cynic) or Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel)??

Gene Hoglan is great, but he is definately not the fastest...

Agreed on the Lars thing... Man he is awesome... !

Ok.. sokmeone name a song for me to download to sample Hellhammers supa fast drumming.

 

[Darkness Encloses]

If you have AUDIOGALAXY, try to download something off of the CONQUEROR "War Cult Supremacy" CD. That drummer is SOOO fast and brutal it's almost unbelievable. It's not stupid grind either. They're actual songs clocking in at the 7 minute average.....

 

[blakmetalemp]

Trym from Emperor

 

[Lakestream]

Mithotyn's drummer is unbelievable
listen to Well of Mimir...ugh...that double-bass there in the middle *shiver*

I love his work on "Promethius". Gotta get "Zyklon"






. :hotjump:

 

[nevermore169]

what about Nick the new drummer for Dimmu Borgir

 

[Scytheman]

Dave Lombardo (ex. Slayer etc)
Doc (Vader)
Janne Sarenpää (The Crown)

The (Un)Holy Drum Trinity!

 

[Scytheman]

HELL! I forgot Sir Proscriptor (Absu)!!!!

 

[Tranquillian]

I would guess its one of these:

Sean Reinert
Doc
Nick Barker
Flo Mounier
Gene Hoglan
Richard Christy
Hellhammer

 

[Maniac]

try and hear 'Deathcrush' off of Mediolanum Capta Est (Mayhem live album) Hellhammer's drumming in that is just insane
also Frost from Satyricon is pretty speeedy

 

[Lee_B]

The fastest blasts I've heard were on Fallen Christ's album "Abduction Ritual" from 1995. Stupidly fast, and I've yet to hear anything even close, including Cryptopsy.
