Favorite Death Metal Drummers?

[Stealthdjentstic]

List some of your favorites

For me Spawn of Possesions drummer takes the cake, he doesn't blast 24/7 and has quite a bit of taste in comparison to other guys that just blast all the time.




Another favorite of mine is Gorguts old drummer



He just wins at being fucking crazy.

Inferno, from Behemoth.

This is actually kinda easy and yet difficult to do, I'll list my favs in no particular order:

Gene Hoglan (Death, Strapping Young Lad... come on it's Gene Fucking Hoglan!)
George Kolias (Nile)
Flo Mournier (Cryptopsy)
Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal)
Marco Pitruzzella (Braindrill, I Came To Hate, Vornagar)
KC Howard (Odious Mortem, Decrepit Birth)
Eric Park (Devourment)
Dobber Beverly (Sect Of Execration, Braced For Nails, Ingurgitate, Viral Load)

I know there's tons more that I'm forgetting right now but hopefully more people will post them.

Man, I forgot how drummers I like. I can't pick out more than two that I dislike on this thread...

 

[-One-]

Brette Ciamarra from Belie My Burial definitely takes the cake, for me, anyway.
They may be deathcore, but he's goddamn good. His playing on the song most people know, Finish Him, with their original vocalist, when they were more -core than death, was SUPER sloppy, especially the kicks, but his technique is SO much better now, if you go listen to their EP, his kicks are flawless, especially in comparison.
Ryan Parrish of Darkest Hour also comes to mind, his work with cymbals and the snare may not be super creative, but he's definitely got skill with the double bass.

^ Death metal, not core

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

dave lombardo

 

[sevenstringj]

John Merryman of Cephalic Carnage



Makes it look so damn easy, too.

QFT!!
I'd also ad George from Nile, the man can't possibly be human
