best drummers in metal

[Flah]

You are the Ultra Dick in this exchange. I offered a few guys that I like, and you say that you hate one of them as a person. Okay, that's cool.

Are you serious? Dude, I just said I didn't like the guy and you freaked the fuck out like you had to "defend yo' boy" or some silly macho posing shit. Then, you tried to belittle my intelligence as a music listener saying, "ALL THESE DRUMMERS SAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM, SO HE IS GOOD." Great, a lot of people say good things about Jesus, doesn't mean I buy into it.

It could've been a simple exchange.

Me: I don't like Tommy.
You: Why?
Me: I think he's a douche.
You: Oh. But his drumming?
Me: Okay.
You: SHOUT AT THE DEVIL.
Me: Indeed.

Or, you know, we could've argued our points intelligently instead of you acting like a closeminded jackass and falling back on lame shit like, "Real drummers like him." What does he do for you? I don't care what other people think, I want to know what you think.

And I said something because, hey, look at that, we're in a discussion forum and I was trying to get some discussin' going. Who knew? Discussion on a forum. Someone cue the More You Know music.

You're just like the guy at work who asks me "who's the best guitar player in the world", and I just look at him like...How can you come up with an answer to that question? No matter what I say, I'm wrong.

Have you ever read any of my posts before? Really? I'm amazed that you think I'm that guy, given my history, on this board no less, stating that there's no universal truth, no right or wrong to these questions about music. There's no definite. I even had the privilege of putting together a lecture on these very ideas.

But, okay, yeah. I'm totally that guy. Sure. Any evidence to support that? None? Okay.

Ha, I don't even remember writing this. Man, I am the Ultra Dick.

Yeah, I've had that before. Damn benzos and alcohol. If I was slamming beers like Joey Demaio in the middle of the bar, I want to be able to remember it, dammit!

And yes, for the integrity of this thread, I have intentionally refrained from mentioning Scott Columbus. I just couldn't go that far... *cries and repents*

Thank you for coming to your senses. I was somewhat worried about your reading comprehension skills for a while, but now I realize you are okay.

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)

I think he might be playing for Testament now. I think I read that somewhere.

Danny Carey...hands down.

In Testament?! Man, I might start listening to them now, lol.

 

[Flah]

Yeah, he's in Testament now. They're currently writing songs or something.

 

[samoth]

Yeah, he's in Testament now. They're currently writing songs or something.

I have some old Testement tapes somewhere, but my only tape player is in my boombox in my gym at home, so I've rarely listened to them.

If Nick is in the group, I'll be waiting in line for their newest release.
