Okay, a few others for ya to consider - Gerry Brown Virgil Donati Danny Carey Tris Imboden And to bitch bit - These are the only true metal drummers i believe are the best all round , not only on speed, but style / artistic flare / intricasy- Tomas Haake (Great off-beat drum patterns, 7/8 played to 3/4 timing, need i say more) Nick Barker (Robotic timing, two handed ride patterns) David Silveria (good use of triggers) Pete Sandoval (Psycho) Mike Portnoy (i know hes not metal, but he rawks!!) Chris Wilkie (star, gel face, brutaliser, never moves while playing, so where does all the noise come from??) ha ha ha ha Just joking on that last one bazz!!, but i'm not too shabby on the old pedals!
