[Will Bozarth]

honestly, im not much of a drummer follower... Richard Christy, Van Williams, and Hoglan really stand out in my ears

 

[lizard]

if a drummer is doing his job you don't notice it, but if he sucks then you REALLY do

but one guy who is really excellent: Christian Nyqvist from Lost Horizon.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Tony from Nile is a monster. Check out is his work in Angel Corpse and his stint with God Dethroned and you realize just how solid and versatile the bastard is.

[IOfTheStorm]

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

oh i forgot, Daniel Errlandson from arch enemy.... that guy is amazing, he had a big drum solo when i saw them live, its awesome...

also the guy from cryptopsy

 

[buzz21]

Glad somebody mentioned Errlandson from Arch Enemy...gotta include Van also. Marky from Coroner laid down some great beats back in the day, and you can't dismiss Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater or Mark Zonder from Fates Warning. The new guy with Chimaira is awesome too.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Ughh im gonna kill myself. didnt anyone see the thread awhile back which explained how barker basically cheats with all his drumming abilities. Like Iris said, hes fast with his hands, but he dosent double bass that fast, and all he fucking does are blastbeats.
