Wait one bloody second- 12 people actually think that Lars is the best metal drummer? Furthermore, 12 people think that Lars is better then the almighty Flo Mournier? Lars is fucking sub-par, he's just in a famous band... Oh and also fucking John Longstreth of Origin. Antithesis has inhuman drumming.

Todd Sucherman (Styx) Not really metal but still one of the greatest musicians in the drum world

Thomen "The Oman" Stauch. (exBlind Guardian, exSavage Circus)

Jörg Michael (Stratovarius)

Sean Reinert-Death/Cynic and Tom Hunting of Exodus are usually my favourites.

Where's Dave Lombardo, Igor Cavalera, Paul Bostaph, Richard Christy, Gene Hoglan, etc.... Lars is one of the choices? And what the fuck is a Bullet for my Valentine?

Dave Lombardo of Slayer or Gene Hoglan of Death and Testament.

Testament? He just was in 1997 with the album "Demonic" (one of the worst), nothing more. I would said better: Death and Strapping Young Lad, and now Fear Factory!! yeah =)

Yea, Gene is pretty beast, Dave though.......lol Arsis has some pretty bitchin' drum work too.

I would say Dave Lombardo of Slayer.

For me it is by far Neil Peart of Rush
Second would be Dave Lombardo i think.

Neil pert.

My modern day fav is Jason Bittner.

I'm gonna go with Gene Hoglan. Rob Reiner of Anvil, Brann Dailor, Mickey Dee, Tomas Haake of Meshuggah, Mike Magini, Hellhammer, Rick Allen of Def Leppard, Neil Peart, Joey Jordison, and I really like Reidar "Horgh" Horghagen's work with Immortal.

Neil Peart. I don't know why those drummers are even on the list.

It'll have to be Neil Peart for me.

Sure, Rush isn't generally considered "metal" now, but they have a lot of work that could classify as metal.

Pete Sandoval, Neil Peart, Bill Ward, Dave Lombardo, John Bonham, Kim Ruzz and Gene Hoglan.

>Joey Jordison - Slipknot


My vote goes the Flo Mournier of Cryptopsy

even hough I find Slipknot to be cap Joey Jordison is a great overall drummer and one of the best around. It is not without reason he drummed for Slayer, Metallica and Satyricon a couple of times live as substitute.

Oh but i am not denying his skills. I even love Slipknot, it's just I don't see why put him in this list. Kinda like that drummer from BFMV.

For me its Tommy lee Shannon Larkin, Dave Lombardo,Jason Bittner. R.I.P. Randy Castillo are cool the list could on

Why shouldn't he be on the list though? I can't think of any legitimate reason why he shouldn't be...

Anyone with a shred of clue about drumming will know that Joey Jordison is a great drummer. You've probably never heard more than one song by SLipknot. Or you have no clue about what drumming is.

Also, that poll list in the first post is ridiculous. More than a half of these drummers have never been in the vicinity of great. Dirk Verbeuren, Lars Ulrich, Fredrik Andersson, Michael Thomas, John Boecklin. Seriously? Those are here and Dave Lombardo isn't?

By the way, Lars Ulrich is the one drummer who has become worse and worse over the years. His drumming on And Justice for All was excellent. Now compare it to his drumming on Death Magnetic... Or watch a live version of Dyers' Eve recorded in the recent years. Where's double bass??? Pathetic...

Look at the drumset..

Most metal drum I can feel its good is metallica master of puppet album, most song drums so good especially song disposable heroes, you even can feel drum music in..

I can see how impressiom it is when looking joey jordison drum set, very gigantic.

Lars performing good show with drum both visionally, and skillfully.

But yeah the jordison drum set is so hugeee...

Nono, you dont get it, I laughed cause he was in the choices. I know he's a great drummer and I even like Slipknot.

No "great drummer list" is complete without the likes of Derek Roddy, Tony Laureano, and Hellhammer... tsk tsk

Where is Tomas Haake of Meshuggah or Martin Lopez of Opeth or Gavin Harrison Or Brann Dailor of Mastodon this list is lacong so many Drummers and beside all of these My all time favorite Drummer is Danny Carey of Tool for sure

Needs more Brann Dailor of Mastodon. List doesn't even have the Atomic Clock. Why is Lars on it though?

I wonder why has Lars got 13 votes. I mean he's ok on Lightning and Puppets and even a little better on AJFA but other stuff isn't really any good. Far from the best overall .

But yeah, hard to point out anyone really. Kollias, Lombardo and McBrain perhaps. But there sure are hell of a lot more.
