You know, speed *can* be measured.

This guy, Mike Mangini is currently the fastest drummer, according to (1).

(1) - http://www.extremesportdrumming.com/mikemangini.htm

yeah i've seen him playing but he hasn't done almost anyhting fast according to music. he creates his bytes/rhythms and that's it. imo the point is not to play fast on your own but to play fast with a band. you know, it's like masturbation!!: you can do it as fast as you want but the point is if you can do it that fast with the girl!

That's a good point, let's just call Mr. Mangini the fastest non-band drummer? Although it would be awesome if his skills would be put into (good) use in an 80's speed metal band. And the guitars would match the speed.

Dave Lombardo was a pretty fast Drummer for Slayer

Inferno

JASON BITTNER do i have to say more?

Igor Cavalera from Sepultura in his old days

Already mentionned, but Proscriptor from Absu and Melechesh is indeed a fast dude.

John Longstreth, Origin is hella fast. His double bass is like a thousand of crickets chirping in your garden.

He may be more well-known for his work with Origin, but he's incredibly boring as a drummer (at least with them). Check out Dim Mak's Knives Of Ice to hear what he's truly capable of.

Jimmy Degrasso ive seen live and he can be pretty damn quick when he wants to be, Dave Lombardo is quite impressive, but to find the fastest you really need to look into black metal circles.

Trym, Hellhammer, Frost all are amongst the fastest iv heard. But there are others out there who more than deserve a mention.
For Trym - Try Subtle Manipulation (with Zyklon), or maybe Thus Spake the Nightspirit (with Emperor) well there are of course other but those are good example of fast drumming.
For Hallhammer - Try My Death (with Mayhem) this piece is mighty quick, but he has a lot of song which are blindingly quick.
For Frost - Fuck Satyricon this is the worst example of his work, Try 1349 (I am Abomination is awesome).

Will do, but it was about the fastest drummer not the least-boring (sorry for my perfectionism).
The least boring would maybe be Brann Dailor of Mastodon.

HELLHAMMER in the early 90s sexually assaulted drums completely the most skilled drummer

For me the only drummer of interest is F.Andersson. Period.

Inferno from behemoth

Sarcofago's drum machine. =P
Pete Sandoval for me.

Definitely NOT Hellhammer, Sandoval, Inferno, Kollias, Yeung, Rodney, and all the others people love to name. Their speed and technique are great, legendary evenl, but for pure speed you need men like Marco Pitruzzella.

The Atomic Clock Gene Hoglan.

Vitek R.I.P. of Decapitated
Dave Suzuki of Vital Remains
Flo Monier of Cryptopsy
George Koolias of Nile
Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel
'That son of a bitch' from Dying fetus

There's probably a drummer or two who can top those drummers in speed, but in the top-10 fastest drummers list, those 6 drummers would definitely make the list.

EDIT: oh, and that boring fucktard from 'the berzerker' too, coz i'm sure everyone would mention him.

The drummer from Slipknot? or the drummer from Rush?

Hellhammer

Honestly, have you heard Slipknot's drummer? -_- he's in the top 100 as well. and the drummer from Rush is no. 1? some people dont know what theyre talking about.

Rankings mean absolutely nothing. I once saw Chester Bennington ranked the 46th greatest metal vocalist in Hit Parader's list. Fred Durst was 71st, and apparently David Bowie and Joan Jett are considered metal vocalists.

You think I haven't? I very well have, and he isn't the fastest.

Well, you've got one thing right.

Neil Peart is a drumming god. The fact that you suggest that he is either below Joey Jordison or even on the same list as Joey Jordison shows that you have a lot of learning to do when it comes to drummers, whether they're in a 'metal' band or playing in one of the greatest prog rock bands of all time.

People who have no actual knowledge of metal. Only they can say Fred Durst is the 71st greatest metal vocalist of all time and rank Tim "Ripper" Owens 97th.

Really? o_O Whoever came up with that list should be hit. That's crazy--putting fucking Fred Durst on the list is bad already. But then placing him ABOVE someone like the Ripper? People have no sense.

What's worse is Linkin Park/Limp Bizkit fanboys who enter metal topics frequently point it out to defend themselves.

Oh I read that Hit Parader list, too. I don't think it's really that bad. there are some awesome vocalist in this list. Rob Halford, Robert Plant, Klaus Meine, Bon Scott, Dee Snider, Udo Dirkschneider and Brian Johnson and I actually dson't really care the order. But I was wondering why Fred Durst is in this list and why Jonathan Davis is the 16th greatest vocalist(I Don't hate his voice but it isn't really that amazing).
