YOU

[noob3]

HERB

[BulletCatcher]

Then: Dave Lombardo (sp?)

Now: This is a tie up between Origin and Dillinger Escape Plan. Speed vs. Technicality....which do we side with?

[Helm]

Then: Gene Hoglan


Now: dude from Dillinger Escape Plan, hands down.

[executioneer]

HERB >:

[unclehobart]

whaddabout that fucktard from Hanson?

[Paul138]

whaddabout that fucktard from Hanson?

Is he alive?

[unclehobart]

A better question would be: does anyone care?

[Shut Up]

"Then: Dave Lombardo

Fuck yeah. Dave Lombardo was the best drummer Slayer had. Sucks that the entire band hates him now...

[Helm]

It's funny how he's back with the band.

[Skulhedface]

In case you didn't know...

Lombardo still plays drums, he plays in Phantomas, Mike Patton's newer-but-not-quite-so-new-anymore band, along with the bassist for Mr. Bungle (Trevor Dunn) and Buzz Osbourne from the Melvins.

[Irwin M. Fletcher]

Sean Reinert, Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, etc. Then and now. But Reinert kills them all, especially in the "then" category.

[Generator86]

Then--either Ken Owen from Carcass or Pete Sandoval from Morbid Angel.

Now--Nick from Kataklysm (Temple of Knowledge only) and the guy from Pig Destroyer. Sorry, I can't remember his name at the moment.

What do they all have in common? Speed AND technicality. Why choose just one?

[Helm]

Kataklysm

Metronome Blast :rock

[Generator86]

What's wrong with blast beats?

Also, once again, although they probably don't fall under the category of metal, Jord from Propagandhi is fucking incredible.

[Helm]

There's nothing wrong with Blastbeats. A metronome blast is a different kind of blast beat the Kataklysm like to employ. There's one kick for every four snare hits. Makes it easier to headbang to.

[Mockery]

But Reinert kills them all, especially in the "then" category

Reinert is too good. It's pretty scary.

But let us not forget the man:

:lol I got a response from Mockery, and has shed light on the subject. Now I feel ashamed I forgot about the truly most badass drummer ever. :(

Eh, fuck it. I'm glad we now have a great pic on the thread. :)

[Helm]

And you thought it proper to quote it so we can waste some more of Mock's branwidth. Great.

[Ninjavenom]

Seriously, if you're commenting on a post right above yours, there's no need to quote the fucking thing.

[Paul138]

Oh yes there is. :)

[Sam]

The drummer from Def Leppard only has one arm.

That's pretty cool.

I'm done.

[The Unseen]

Then: Def Lepperd

Now: GWAR

[Generator86]

It may not be metal, but Damon Che from Don Caballero is hands down the greatest drummer of all time.

[Miss Modular]

Then: Stewart Copeland

Now: Stewart Copeland. (First runner up: Meg White.)

[Mütiilation]

then -- Ken Owen of Carcass

now -- Derrek Rody of Hate Eternal

[Generator86]

Meg White? From the White Stripes? Jesus fuck. Don't get me wrong, I've heard a lot of their stuff, but I can't even imagine saying that she's a great drummer. She's basic as hell. Next thing you know, Charlie Watts is going to be considered one of the greatest of all time because he can keep the beat. Guess what? That's what they're supposed to do. Keep the beat. That's why they're drummers.

Listen to Don Caballero and tell me that anybody else even stacks up to the title of great drummers. The man is an octopus.

[koolaidolio]

then:def leppard (one arm beats all)




Now:Joey from slipknot
(watch the dvd and youll see y)

[whoreable]

LOL.

[Queefer Sutherland]

I'll choose someone random and underrated since it's impossible to choose one: Dennis the Menace from Macabre. Underrated as hell on both technical and creative levels, and his use of double kick is as intense as it gets. Great in the 80's, great now.

[Helm]

Anyone naming himself after kickass cartoon characters gets extra points in my book too.

[ilikeanti-rave]

Joey Jordison (but thats just IMO) :)

[Ninjavenom]

Sriously, i'm in love with Pete Hammoura. :love

see?

[Grazzt]

Then: Bill Ward

Now: Thomen Stauch

[(-) Ions]

Then - Bill Ward. I also think (although not a metal drummer) Mitch Mitchell also deserves a mention here.

Now - Either Mike Portnoy or Danny Carey. Mike is a spectactualr technical drummer, who uses some of the most unusual time signatures I've ever heard - Listen to Dream Theater's "The Dance Of Eternity" to see. Danny is one of the few drummers around who actually uses his drumkit as an instrument as opposed to just percussion or timekeeping - Tool's "Schism" in which him and bass player Justin both play the main riff is a good example of this.

[Helm]

Come on! What's so complicated about 7/8 and 3/4? Do the people that say that even have a basic understanding of the theory of music? It's just counting, people. Even time splicing (combining two different 16th theme rhythms to make an 8th, like 12/16 + 6/16 = 9/8) ala Dance of Eternity has been done before, and better, by guys like Yes/King Crimson drummer Bruford or the dude from Confessor. Portnoy's overrated.

Oh, and I think if you asked Carey, he'd agree that he's trying to emulate the way Bruford plays anyway.

[The Chief]

Then: Brian Downey, Clive Burr, Ian Paice, Bill Ward, Les Binks, Philthy Animal Taylor...heck, even Neil Peart.

Now: See above (except for Clive Burr who has MS I believe).

[Zero Signal]

[The Retro Kat]

Bun E from cheap trick because he was good, but he was nochalant about it, and he always had a cigarette in his mouth.
