best drummers in metal

Tommy Aldridge is King!!! All these new drummers will prolly say Tommy was their biggest influence.

Angry again angry again ...
 
Aldridge was cool in BOA and Bark at the Moon, but I don't remember him being on anything else of note. He was kind of the guy that you called when you were short a drummer and needed to tour.

The "king" of double bass.
 
Mike Portnoy-Dream Theater
Vinnie Paul-Pantera
Tommy Lee is one of the all time greats in rock. You guys seem to be leaning more towards speed drummers.

Nice... but is the guy metal? lol

I believe Hellhammer was recorded at 17 BPS. I think it was something going around the 'zines years ago. I have no source, nor do I know if it's a record (I doubt it).

I personally lean towards the speed drummers because it's what I listen to and am familiar with. I'm sure there are some absolutely godly blues drummers out there, but I wouldn't be able to accurately judge their talent. Same goes with some of the slower metal drummers: I don't know enough tech stuff about the drums to be able to judge them well. I've always had a fascination with the fast guys, though. Nicholas Barker's performance on Cradle's Vempire and Dusk albums were amazing at the time they were released. (Has he OD'd yet? lol)



:cow:
 
He plays for Steve Vai and Annihilator and crap like that. So, kind of.

No speed drummers on my list duder (Witte is debatable).

I like Vinnie because he's solid, but I never thought of him as a "great" drummer or anything. Good time keeper. And I hate Tommy Lee so much, but that's a completly different story.
