I feel like Inferno (Behemoth) is really underrated. His style is so relentless.

He's one of those drummers who I love in his band, but I'd probably hate him playing for anyone else.

 

[Zeetwig]

Nick Barker - Dimmu Borgir
Hellhammer - Dimmu Borgir
Dirk Verbeuren - Soilwork
Francesco Paoli - Fleshgod Apocalypse
Henry Ranta - Soilwork
Martin Lopez - Opeth
Alex Rudinger - Threat Signal
Cameron Losch - Born of Osiris
Kevin Choiral - Sybreed
A shitload of other good drummers

I gotta throw up some love for Moe Carlson. Dude holds it down live

 

[CTID]

Blake Richardson. I just love him and BTBAM. One of my personal friends has gotten one-on-one lessons with him and has gotten into a show with them, Animals As Leaders, and TesseracT as a personal guest of Blake.

I'm not really a huge fan of one-genre band drummers like Flo and others like that. Sure, they're incredibly good, but they're kind of boring in the sense that they only do the same thing all the time.

 

[kerska]

Branden Morgan from Misery Signals.

Dude is solid and has a lot of character in his drumming.

 

[slowro]

Mike Portnoy - I actually got ax7 - nightmare just to hear him
Danny Carey - an actual legend
Chris Adler - adds another dimension to every song
Vinnie Paul - power!
Paul Bostaph - His drumming on Disciple is enough to make him one of my favourites

 

[Blake1970]

This guy is my new favorite.

That's who I meant when I said Pickles, didn't know his name back then. I recently got to hear his other stuff, loved it!

Oodles of technically brilliant guys out there, but my current faves are Carey and Dailor. Also a big fan of Tim Alexander.....and, just to make sure I get a bitch-slapping, I think John Otto does the simple stuff with unusally good groove and a long time from now I think folk'll be saying Travis Barker was something special indeed within his generation.
