Maybe you haven't heard of Zach Gibson from Gutrot. Shits on anything he did with BDM.

I hate that Pete Sandoval guy. All he does is go dubddububudubdubudbubdu.

All percussionists (that have their own style) tend to only go rkatjnbgkjadnbjanbjtbn or some other sound though. I personally love Sandoval's tom rolls.

Richard christy is another solid and uniqe drummer cudos!

as for over rated just any of those mtv posers thes smile for the camera while playing like a full on capper!
(excuse my spelling im irish)

Theres a Norwegian band called Zeenon who are all women but for the male drummer, aka Mads.
He is one solid death drummer. Reminds me of Hate Eternal's dude.

But back to the main topic... I guess the best drummer is the drummer of vader, bescause hes very fast but not just hammering on his kit... He knows what sounds good and is using the right beats for the music!!!

Unleashed's drummer is very cool, too... Headbanging to that music is very great!!!

Maybe this band isn't that known in the majority of the (american) metalscene, but the drummer of GOJIRA is just...amazing!
I saw them live (backstage ) a few weeks ago, and that guy rocks!
Not just plain old blasting, rolls, trying to make his bassdrum go at light-speed, no, he does great, slow, but difficult patterns, combined with speed, flair, ...
I'll search the internet for a video.


Edit : can't seem to find anything, but you can watch the video at www.gojira-music.com

"Remembrance" is a live clip (awsome)
"Love" a real videoclip



EDIT : Goddammit, i just saw i posted this in the wrong thread!
Sorry 'bout that, i'll put it in the right one

Do you mean vader is not known in america???
Then you should miss something... they are reallllllllly cool!


Edit: Ah, allright then go post it in the right thread...^^

What the hell are you talking about Vader man??
I never even mentioned the word "Vader" in my previous post.

Hahhahaha what? I don't understand.

i agree with dead to a certain extent. roddy does some cool stuff (i monarch is his best) but he doesnt come near some of the newer drummers. roddys playing was really weak when he first started in the death metal circuit...in cold blood and black seeds of vengeance are really generic performances. roddy has definitely hit a new style and i think hes a great drummer...and influence. but he gets a little too much credit. justin can do a lot of the stuff roddy can do (not for 45 minutes in a row)

i dont hold a grudge against roddy and i appreciate what hes done, but he gets a bit too much credit when there are plyers like deron cesca out there

This video is for everyone who thinks Derek Roddy is overrated.

I would like to see another Death Metal drummer attempt to play that. Or even any drummer. He's fucking insane.

Even if he wasn't to creative when he first made his way into the genre, he was pushing the speed limit along with a few other guys.

People are just envious






I'd like to hear some of these "newer drummers".

__________________

i question that he was pushing any speed limit when he first got into the genre. he was solid and fast, but he certainly hasnt ever been the fastest...or even tried to.

hrmmmm, darren cesca of goratory/pillory is who jumps to mind first. youve seen the video if him playing ...if you need a refresher check the goratory page.

whoever drums for aeon does blasts as solid as roddy
inferno from behemoth (his skill increases with each album)
the decapitated drummer (is it vitek?)
whoever drums for martyr plays with time signatures on the level of roddy

for pure speed tim yeung also surpasses roddy (agiel/decrepit birth/vital remains, but not so much VR because that seems to be faked)
thats about all that comes to mind

Will you at least educate your self before you come into the drum forum talking shit. Very little drummers were playing much over 220 BPM in the 90's, if any. Derek, Tony Laureno, Nick Barker,... all started pushing the BPM boundry together, and they are all among the very few who can play in the 250 range today.
