Richard Christy
Sean Reinert
Nick Barker
Gene Hoglan

What band are they!? :)

You mean that guys who also did sessions for Vital Remain?
Very cool drummer indeed, tight as fuck.

Meh, also the drummer of Vornagar. There's a video of the drumrecording for Hyperion on their myspace if you scroll down (http://www.myspace.com/vornagar), for those of you who haven't seen it yet. Don't forget to stop the regular player though. Great drummer, great kit, great song too.

Nick Barker is the drummer for Old Man's Child, and he's also done drums for Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir.

Dunno the other ones.

Holy shit guys!
What about;

Mike Hamilton
KC Howard
Tyson Jupin
Ricky Myers
Kevin Talley
Mike Smith
James King
Tom A. (Emeth)
John Longstreth

The list is endless. They're all kings behind the kit. How can anyone say that one is the best???

the new disparaged drummer... i think he is new!?!?

Well, honestly, you can't because drumming involves a variety of different styles, and it is impossible to label one drummer as the best. "The best drummer" is really an expression for who do you like the best.

I dunno if hes good technically but the guy from naerea is awesome sounding

Doc (RIP) - Vader
Dave Suzuki - Vital Remains

I think it goes without saying that in order to have a good technical/brutal death metal band, you have to have a great drummer. So all those deathheads behind the kit, while very highly skilled, seem kinda interchangeable to me. Nile for example, did their style really change THAT much after Laureano left and Kollias stepped in?

Wow all of u guys are great, there are so many good and skilled frummer around the globe! So I'ts so hard to choose wich is the best! Tnx

Richard Christy was in Death, Control Denied and Iced Earth.
Sean Reinert was in Death's album Human and Cynic. Think he teaches Jazz drumming at Florida university or something but he is awesome at brutal metal with a jazzy touch as well.
Gene Hoglan was in Dark Angel, Death, Strapping Young Lad.

Get these albums-

Death: Human, The Sound of Perservernce, Symbolic, Individual Thought Patterns

Cynic: Focus

Dimmu Borgir: Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia

Judas priest (Painkiller, on) - Yes Scott Travis is my favorite. Not only does he know everything, but he can do stuff most people cant. Of course he can't rifle through shit like some bass drummers today, but what he makes, fits perfectly.

Death - Self Explanitory

I think for pure talent that Brann Dailor from Mastodon is one of the best metal drummers these days

There is no best.

Absolute favorite metal drummer of mine is Derek Roddy. That guy is amazing.

Patrice Hamelin from Martyr

Most of the jazz drummers are the best, better than brutal death metal...my opinion

i dont know about most, some yes, not most. Alot of jazz drumming is quite simple. Depends what jazz you listen to really

George Kollias !

derek roddy.

PERIOD.


And If Someone said Flo... I PITTY DA FOO!
