Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 15, 2002 I've got to go with Flo Mounier, the drummer from Cryptopsy. I've never heard anyone else that good. He's the god of heavy metal drums. Outside of metal, I've got to give it up to Neal Peart and Keith Moon. What's everyone else think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted November 15, 2002 Nick fucken Barker. I know he's not the most technically proficient drummer ever, but goddamn, he can just pound the drums like there's no tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Report post Posted November 15, 2002 starvenger Posted on Nov 15 2002, 07:55 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Animal, from the Muppet Show and Dr. Teeth's band. I disagree. While technically proficient enough to hold a beat, Animal is sloppy live and one dimensional on his studio efforts. My list(since i can't pick one) would include Flo Mounier, Trym Torsen, Neil Peart, Dave Lombardo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted November 15, 2002 Danny carey from tool is a fave of mine, though his feel is pretty much the same for most songs. Dale C from the melvins KICKS ASS. That's just the only way of saying it. Brian Downey from Thin Lizzy was damn good too, very underrated. Live and Dangerous of course remains one of the greatest live albums ever.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted November 16, 2002 Carter Beauford is by far the most talented member of DMB. I've still got to give it up to Mounier, though, since he is the blast beat messiah. Listen to pretty much any Cryptopsy song ever to see what I'm talking about.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2002 I have no place to say anybody, since I don't play the drums, and unless you drum, you can't tell the subtle differences of what makes a good drummer. It's a lot less subjective than giving your opinion on the actual music anyway. Needless to say, my drummer friend always talks about Neil Peart as the greatest, along with Mike Portney being referred to as "God" on many different occasions. I will go with them. Please tell me the Lars Ulrich thing was a joke, and I also pray to God that no one mentions Tommy Lee... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, I get told repeatedly that I'm "gifted". Or was that "special"...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2002 I can play his stuff on the drums, and the only practice I've had is waking up my friend's neighbours by banging the double bass pedal on his drumset as hard as I could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted November 16, 2002 I play drums - Though I can't pick out anything subtle about them. I'm odd like that. Scott Travis is a fav of mine, as is whoever happens to play drums for Botch. Does an excellent job on Oh Fortuna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shawn 5 Report post Posted November 18, 2002 Joey Jordison of Slipknot & the Murderdolls. Seriously, he owns all other drummers. Even if you hate Slipknot in general, you've gotta be able to appreciate Jordison's drumming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
