Woods Of Desolation's "Torn Beyond Reason" has pretty good drumming.

Good but nothing creative or original or outstanding in it.

Yeah but it still makes me take out my chopsticks and bash my table, with me pretending I'm Tim Yatras.

cool... I actually did the xact same thing whenever i listen to my fav tracks from THe NEw black By SYL... Gene is such a beast with the double bass

I was just listening to Beyond Creation's "The Aura" the other day and I have to say the drumming is just out of this world. One of my favorite tech-death bands.

I can say what i liked: Death "Individual Thought Patterns" album also "Symbolic" was really kick ass drumming from Gene Hoglan,Hellhammer on "Chimera" and "Grand Declaration of War", Nick Barker on "Dusk And Her Embrace",Trym on Emperor album "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk",Mike Justian on "Fused Together in Revolving Doors"
The Red Chord's album.....its enough for now....drink beer and die.....

I'm not a drummer so I can't really comment on the technique etc but when I listen to the following albums I do find myself air drumming like a metal God, admittedly this generally occurs after a load of beers!:)
Necrophagist....Epitaph
Quo Vidis....Defiant Imagination
Obscura....Omnivium
Arsis....Celebration Of Guilt
Gojira......From Mars to Sirius
Meshuggah.....Obzen
Between The Buried And Me....Colours
Decapitated....Nihility
High On Fire......Death Is communion
Krisiun....Southern Storm
Misery Index...Heirs To Thievery
Sepultura....Arise

Always been a fan of Bolt Throwers drumming also.

Good list!agree with your ears,lol..... Stay drink Budwaiser beer and keep listen good albums with some solid drum work :-)

Pretty big fan of Kerim "Krimh" Lechner, too, of Decapitated. His solo videos are also fun. Easy to find his stuff with a simple YouTube search. Maybe not 'greatest' per se, but very, very good for the style and so young, too. Could be a career to follow for awhile.

Always been a big fan of Dave Lombardo (see: when double-bass was really double-bass) and Neal Pert way back when (early 80's).

Nowadays, I really enjoy the work of Ed Warby a lot (Hail Of Bullets), in addition to my Deivos mention eariler in the thread. I find him to be better than Bob Bagchus (Asphyx), who is also pretty good.

Obviously, I prefer Death Metal so my choices are based in that genre. Understanding that 'fast drumming' doesn't equal 'good drumming' is pretty easy to do. Just listen to Fleshgod Apocalypse. ...he might be good but with triggered drums I'm not sure I'd ever be able to tell.

That said, I'm a guitarist and not a drummer. I do appreciate some of the old-school rock or metal guys, too (Bonham, Pert), it's just not so much my thing in recent years. I'm talking more about the guys I'm excited to listen to, rather than dubiously trying to state who is 'the best'. It's subjective and a matter of who you like oft-times. There are a lot of really good pro drummers.

What I want to hear is who you like and why you like them or think they stand out. I used to be pretty stoked about Kreator's drummer during the Pleasure To Kill era, but a lot of that had to do with a somewhat unique sound (Sonor Drums) and somewhat heavy use of tom-toms at the time - always liked some good tom-work, something that I got from listening to Rush (Pert). I wouldn't say that Ventor was great, though. Also liked Tommy from Destruction a lot back then. There are so many good ones now it's hard to stand out.

If they stand out in Death Metal, I'd be even more curious who and why said drummer does for you.

Shark Attack by Wehrmacht because i dont think ive ever heard any drum work (or guitar for that matter) as fast as that, besides maybe SOD.

Thrash, punk, death metal, that kind of stuff, but if its that fast then why wouldnt it be that fast for someone else?

I never said i didn't like speed. Speed isn't the only way to demonstrate drumming ability. Listen to Ahab and Neurosis ( especially through silver in blood) and you'll see what I mean.

Also theres the way people use speed, for example, double bass and blast beats are a lot more effective if used in bursts.

I know you're familiar with Cryptic Slaughter...do you think they were faster than Wehrmacht back in the day? I tend to think so, but may have to re-listen to Shark Attack again. Money Talks makes me think that helped originate what today is known as the 'blast-beat', though it is different it was as fast as I could find back then. Any thoughts?

Repulsion/Genocide already employed blast beats ac ouple of years before Money Talks was released

Well i did think about that and it may be really close, and after Wehrmacht broke up their drummer went to Cryptic Slaughter.

An album is only as strong as its weakest link and RIP would sound better if Meg white covered it. I just thought it was yet another shittily drummed classic.

I just find his drumming more insane than ever on the new album. But yes, his drumming is pretty much insane on all albums since "The Sun Of Tiphareth".

Typical black metal stuff a bit thrashy and catchy.Neither original nor creative.

Black metal stuff... I never cared about Drums. The vocals are the priority!

Err... I never care about drums in metal as a whole. And I know... Good words from a 111 years old man!

Somebody want to learn something new? Some young drummers want to know how to play Thrash Metal? Here is TUTORIAL for classic and technical drumming ::::::::::: Steel Fury - Lesser of Two Evils album from 1989 = thrashing insanity with some traditional metal influences essentially like a Pokemon battle between Electrode and a weak Rattata where the Electrode blows up and takes out the Rattata with the more prominent thrash influence.

Annihilation Of The Wicked-Nile
Communion-Septicflesh
Iron-Ensiferum

* Ahab - The Call Of The Wretched Sea: "Hold on Rod! How is a doom drummer impressive? He's just slow..." Well, THIS GUY isn't that slow... His drumming is impressive, really varied and thanks to the production it comes out as simply immense, water waves just hitting at you.

Actually if you look at the tabs you'll appreciate this drummer more. He hits like four drums together, the double bass, the snare and a cymbal, and its really hard to do that.
