@@ZombieJesus1987 good shot but that video quality is so bad. Also Hellhammer really isnt that fast, not even in terms of black metal dummers overall. His best work is definitely in Arcturus.
They forgot a lot: Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel/Terrorizer), Gene Hogland (Death/Dethklok), Spencer Prewitt (Archspire), Nicholas Wells (First Fragment), Derek “One-Take” Roddy, Kevin Talley, and I can’t believe Mikkey Dee from Motörhead and King Diamond wasn’t on here.
Mick Harris? The drummer of Napalm Death and the guy who blast beats with his entire body not only the wrists. For me with Pete Sandoval and Dave Lombardo the dinosaurs of the fast drumming people. Or maybe it's an oldschool perspective but that's fine for me. Fast drumming is also about emotions right ?
@@xBIGGIx some don't have a choice. Know how hard it is to find a drummer, let alone a competent and not lazy metal drummer? A drummer who isn't snapped up in 20 other bands already?
LegionIsONE I’m aware that it’s difficult to find a good drummer which is why I want to shoutout bands that can find good drummers who can also play fast. I’m also not trying to put down bands that use drum machines, some of my favorite bands have used them, I just want to celebrate good drummers.
@@morbid8110 Hey send me your bank deets and I'll send some money over for some batteries to replace your hearing aids.. just kidding ;) but seriously, did you hear the first drummer on this list? Could probably play faster than him after 6 months on the drums lol
With the exception of mike mangini and most of what Marco minneman does, all those drummers were from extreme metal. No one disagrees that slipknot has got some fast tunes. But one of the defining attributes of death metal is extreme speed, most genres can’t touch that shit. Except like bebop jazz.

@@filiptrogen9416 Why yes Filip I do. And your point is good. But since this is a video, on a video channel, and not a Podcast or a radio station....video footage is expected. For example, I'm not disappointed when I don't see words when I'm listening to an audiobook.
the first one was completely not on the drummer, but on the singer and i would have thought that in a video like this someone would have pulled out instrumentation to measure the frequency of beats , or in lamens terms (HOW FAST THE STICKS ARE MOVING BETWEEN DRUM BEATS) THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE
Bet it was disappointing when you noticed Aaron's motions and cymbal reactions and even his hair movement was unnatural due to the fact the video is very noticeably sped up.
I immediately thought infant annihilator too. The video is definently not sped up lol. But the thing is with him is that he has triggers set to full velocity every hit. Every tiny flutter of a bass drum hit registers as a full blown power stroke. Notice how close his grouping is to the bass drum head when he does high tempo bass. Hes about an Inch away. That's not normal lol, it is spliced together for recording too but alot of people do that. Anyway case and point his hits are fake, if you took that trigger away he wouldn't even be heard so hes not nearly as fast as he sounds. A ton of drummers use bass triggers but hes the only one I know of that actually exploits the shit out of them like this guy
Don't know why seeing Minnemann made me chuckle. Maybe the juxtaposition of the dark, loud, and aggressive grindcore aesthetic to the pink-lit and cheery footage of Marco's clip.
Marco has that effect! The most infectiously happy drummer I've ever seen! Wasn't expecting his name on this list but there's no doubt he's got crazy chops. The best musical taste of the bunch too
Good call. In fact 2 of the fastest drummers not to blast beat are him and Charlie Benante. If you listen to Necrophobic by Slayer and Imitation of Life by Anthrax they're the same tempo using 4 in a bar hats/ride rather than alternate sticking which you can go faster with but is technically 'easier' - its still not bloody easy!
christschinwon Charlie Benante has done blast beats. ruclips.net/video/LdG580PzJ3g/видео.html Dave Lombardo just hits hard. Not much dynamic in his drumming for being "talented". I guess that's just one of few people's opinions.
nils is something else man... like sure you can use very efficient technique to play extremely fast but the way he goes after those toms is unmatched, fuckin ungodly
They can do all that, it's not like they are going at 250+ bpm the whole time. I mean they missed one of the fastest drummers in extreme metal which is John Longstreth from Origin and he started as a jazz drummer, seeing that guy play is like watching someone win an olympia gold medal. Can be fast as fuck but always on an impressive technical level with lots of little details and he can play jazz slow down as well, but people like Phil Rudd and Moffet can probably not play the extreme stuff he does.
Thing is, he was also doing shit way faster than all the black metal and grindcore drummers on the list while doing crazy crossovers and combos. Listen to the intro of Pale Blue Dot by Dream Theater. He does that with one hand, and unlike Aaron Kitcher, he's actually playing it
@@reneelisardo9502 I think Aaron Kitcher's a good drummer, and he's capable of playing complicated stuff. But I don't think he's able to play that kind of stuff at 300bpm, and if you look at the video, you can see that it doesn't really look real
@@sammyloehnis3373 maybe mangini is fast, but my personal opinion. Dream Theater don't need fast drummer, they need creative drummer. But maybe I really don't know much about mangini

@@jordanmahony4268 damage inc 180 bpm battery 194 at double time. Fleshgod Apocalypse -The Violation(Fransesco Paoli in this vid) 270 Bpm. Metallica is not even close to the speed some of these guys are playing
I don't like how fast drumming sounds. Doesn't groove. Doesn't move. Well it moves but too much to be heavy. If everything is heavy - nothing is heavy, you gotta have dynamics.
Yeah, renders this list incomplete. You cannot name 10 fast drummers in Metal without mentioning Dominator. It's like naming 10 famous religions and tell nothing about Christianity (weird example in this case^^).
I'm watching Hellhammer at 1:20, and I'm curious, is there any special difference in having the symbols hanging downward vs. the traditional way of setting up the symbols? (I'm not a drummer, so I don't know these things).
the traditional way is handy for a more dominant sound but doesn't give as much rebound so some drummers setup their symbols that way so they can play faster. that is also the reason why the ride symbol is being used a lot while playing blast-beats
@moneytalksandpeoplelisten4086 Not within the proper circles where the listeners tend to be experienced in terms of the very extreme end of the heaviness spectrum, open-minded, and hungry for information regarding bands and artists. However... If I had a dime for every 'far out death metal' listener I've encountered who considers the likes of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Pestilence, Entombed, Carcass, Dismember, Atheist, and Cynic as 'super obscure heavy shit for true headbangers', I'd have quite a bit of money. Nowadays, you get the same thing with the major deathcore groups and some of the slam stuff. Oh, and should I mention how many of these jokers don't even know Obituary? Amongst people that REALLY know, no, Cryptopsy are a well-known and respected band. But there be some serious ass-clowns about.
Is that documented anywhere? I can't seem to find anything to support that claim, but it may just be difficult to find these days since all the articles I've found point towards the current record holder being an 11 year-old kid, lol.
@Capricornus Astud he has skills like no other.. a concert of Origin is a marathon. Interesting point on that, is the fact the beats he plays seems to be not hard for him and totally insane for the regular drummer.
@metal matt Isn't all metal "real" metal as long as you enjoy you're craft? At least he's not a popstar, or some shitty mumble rapper. Maybe you should worry about so called "artists" instead of people who have different tastes in actual good genres.
The thing that surprised me about that is he’s in a DEATHCORE band. Made me realize that infant annihilator actually had something more to them than their cringy music videos.
@Its Rizzli- Well yeah, but Infant Annihilator still has breakdowns much like this generation's deathcore bands. But thanks for pointing out that I forgot to add the technical before deathcore. Suddenly I feel like I just disrespected a highly underrated band by just saying they're deathcore as opposed to technical deathcore.
@Its Rizzli- I mean, I'm just saying that they're within that realm of metal. Death metal and deathcore are usually different, but I think it's rare for deathcore bands to add more technicality to their music. So, yeah. Infant Annihilator is one of those bands that takes tech death and fuses it with deathcore. So basically, Necrophagist meets Whitechapel. And I'm just a really big metal nerd, so I get really passionate about metal music. And you were close enough.
I can respect these guys because you’ve got to have some serious talent to play them. However, some of them are so fast that there is nothing musical about what they are playing. IMO what they are playing just sounds like a bunch of random noise.
SinfulRanger 21 No that’s Mangini at the end. Like I said all of these guys are very talented but Mike Mangini’s speed is applied in a musical sense. The other guys, though talented, play crazy fast simply for the sake of doing it.
Panos Flo he records on an electric kit, but he was actually playing along to it in the video, what more do you whiners need to show that he can play it 😂

Panos Flo exactly! There's no video of him playing his own songs in the right way and sure isn't this one full of diferent angle shoots and almost speed up in some parts. The video of him playing on a electric kit he's sloppy at some points and the other one,that he's playing on some car stand along the song,we can't see shit besides he's missing some parts of the song. So yes,the whiners continue as no.2 is too much for Aaron.
@@andrepereira744 either way, the point of his band is a joke, they were just an internet band that got big and theyre pretty open about it. But he certainly is able to play his shit even though it can be sloppy here and there but i do see your points
Reminds me of a typical worksite. The drummer is the dude in the hole with a shovel, and the rest of the band are the guys standing around the hole looking at him.

I was about to ask where the bloody hell Dave Lombardo is, then I realised he isn’t ranked for his speed, he’s ranked for his talent. So fair enough!
Good call. In fact 2 of the fastest drummers not to blast beat are him and Charlie Benante. If you listen to Necrophobic by Slayer and Imitation of Life by Anthrax they're the same tempo using 4 in a bar hats/ride rather than alternate sticking which you can go faster with but is technically 'easier' - its still not bloody easy!
christschinwon Charlie Benante has done blast beats. ruclips.net/video/LdG580PzJ3g/видео.html
Dave Lombardo just hits hard. Not much dynamic in his drumming for being "talented". I guess that's just one of few people's opinions.
I was thinking the same about Mike Portnoy and Nick Menza.
christschinwon Chris Witchhunter and Ventor are faster drummers
Paul Bostaph: Dave Lombardo's Kryptonite.
Loudwire clearly hasn't heard of Frost or Dominator...
No kidding
I've never heard of them either
George Kollias of Nile is the fastest drummer, he proofed it often
nils is something else man... like sure you can use very efficient technique to play extremely fast
but the way he goes after those toms is unmatched, fuckin ungodly
@@timshred1255 YES! THIS!
2:50 he sounds like an M60
How is Pete Sandoval from Morbid Angel not on this list?!
Forget Morbid Angel, that's Pete Sandoval of Terrorizer!
R Langer fucking true! Have you heard last Terrorizer album?
I'd throw Spencer Prewett from Archspire in there. In terms of actual speed reached in recordings, he would be up near the top.
Highly agreed. Spencer is fast does it with style....
Hell yeah
Uhm, where is Frost, Dominator, Derek Roddy +++ ?
david olaussen not in this list
@@gumundurbenediktsson8379 you are right😥
when it comes to speed nobody beats FROST
frost and dominator came to mind for sure
Definitely first thought was where is Frost.
Yes, musicality is another thing. Sometimes you don't need 800 notes per second, sometimes you need a Phil Rudd-groove.
But it's still impressive…
I'd also throw in "Sugarfoot" Moffet.
They can do all that, it's not like they are going at 250+ bpm the whole time. I mean they missed one of the fastest drummers in extreme metal which is John Longstreth from Origin and he started as a jazz drummer, seeing that guy play is like watching someone win an olympia gold medal. Can be fast as fuck but always on an impressive technical level with lots of little details and he can play jazz slow down as well, but people like Phil Rudd and Moffet can probably not play the extreme stuff he does.
Me as a 12 year old : the painkiller drum solo is literally impossible..
no because same
nyango star : hold my apple cat suit
1349 and Satyricon drummer Frost should have been on this list, but still pretty cool !
For reals i was waiting to see nils for sure.
Yeah. He is on the same level as Hellhammer.
Stepping on my son’s tiny metal cars going to the bathroom at 1AM:
0:16
Mike Mangini’s solo in this video is both one of the funniest and most impressive solos I’ve seen in a while.
I feel Pete Sandoval should have been on here
You are correct. Should be No. 1.
hell yes!
I was thinking the same thing. Also would have liked to see Dave Lombardo on that list.
@@obst7759 dave is the slowest drummer on earth ..
@@Spiritcr1jsher Yeah right....
So we’re just gonna act like Gene “Atomic Clock” Hoglan doesn’t exist?
For real that's crazy he's not on here. If it was my list he would def be top 3
Worse nick barker doesn't exist...
Who?

Where's Nils Fjellstrom from Dark Funeral??
yep
That man is scary fast and agile. Fucking.. weird. And all of his hits are pronounced and with the same strenght, blast beats and fast tom fills.
He ain't called Dominator for sarcasm!
Why isn't Nils "Dominator" Fjellström from Dark Funeral on the list?
same question from me
There’s a few others
Derek Roddy
Simon Schilling
Pete Sandoval
Nicholas Barker
I think Nils Dominator Fjellstrom from Dark Funeral playing “Hail Murder” should have been in here.
For reals, take aaron kitchen out of there
Agreed! Totally should be here , his singles are out of this world
Absolutely Nr 1!
Watched it several times and still can't believe it!
Absolutely 🤘
I love how the Behemoth clip they used to showcase their drummer, didn't actually show their drummer at all.
I spit out my carrot juice when I read "infant aniihilator"
you're gonna spit it again when you hear the guitars and a third time when you hear the vocals
And another when you hear the song titles
And another when you read the lyrics
Just wait until you see the videos lol
OK I see 9 epileptic guys hitting things and 1 dude without a shirt.
You mean 9 epileptic guys and 1 epileptic guy without a shirt
@@Pennerfalle In my opinion he played a little bit better, probably had taken his medication
Mike mangini: Does gravity blasts
Loudvire: He is stubğidly fast
Thing is, he was also doing shit way faster than all the black metal and grindcore drummers on the list while doing crazy crossovers and combos. Listen to the intro of Pale Blue Dot by Dream Theater. He does that with one hand, and unlike Aaron Kitcher, he's actually playing it
@@sammyloehnis3373 what do you mean by that last part?
@@reneelisardo9502 I think Aaron Kitcher's a good drummer, and he's capable of playing complicated stuff. But I don't think he's able to play that kind of stuff at 300bpm, and if you look at the video, you can see that it doesn't really look real
@@sammyloehnis3373 maybe mangini is fast, but my personal opinion. Dream Theater don't need fast drummer, they need creative drummer. But maybe I really don't know much about mangini
@@sammyloehnis3373 maybe mangini is fast, but my personal opinion. Dream Theater don't need fast drummer, they need creative drummer. But maybe I really don't know much about mangini
What about Nils Dominator and Frost from 1349? I find them too fast, even if I don't listen to them often
More of this wholesome, music-based clickbait. Less tattoo shite and meaningless gossip.
Francesco is insane. I remember seeing them with Kataklysm and I didn't think I was going to like them as it isn't really my style but damn.... that energy they got going on in live gigs is insane. The drums really hit like a damn sledgehammer to the chest. It's amazing and one of the most impressive drummers I've seen live.
Bro what song is that from fleshgod apocalypse?
@@aidenwithane7531 The Hypocrisy
@@aidenwithane7531 kinda funny ngl
fa is my fav heavy metal band XD
0:28 The guitarist and singer’s hair are synchronized
That's stupid, but you are right
Kinda surprised that joey jordinson wasn’t on this list but hey that just my opinion 🤷♂️
He's not that fast
In my opinion, he could be at that compilation
He's not that fast and very sloppy
@@RTHpriest not that good either.
Joey is not fast. How he got voted best metal drummer of the last 25 years back in 2011 is beyond me. That award should go to Mario Duplantier
Gene Hoglan, his solos and his time in dethklok with songs like “laser Cannon deth sentence” and “The Gears” should count for something!
Hoglan's got a unique style and I love it but in terms of raw speed he's outmatched by everyone on this list.
Brouhahaski that guy its a monster and a have a very distinctive beat 👍🏻
Hoglan with Death was even better! Groundbreaking at the time.
Yea, but this video is about speed.
Jyvlii The Gears is pretty fast if you ask me
FRANCESCO PAOLI - FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE!
I love his effort! Learning the drum within few years and become beast!
yea what was that song?
for real that guy is fucking insane
@@SuperJahobo fleshgod apocalypse - the hypocrisy
Alas, he doesn't play their drums anymore, but their new guy is good too.
0:28 when you want to fly but you cant afford a helicopter
Literally chuckling to myself
Ahahahhahahah
aaron always looks like he's on x2 speed
When ever I think of insanely awesome drummers I immediately think of Tomas Haake. But I'm a little bias because I just love that band.
sin8800 I think of Lars ulrich
sin8800 yes but hes not really about speed even though hes certainly capable. Seen some crazy footage of Inferno, deserves to be on this list.
@@fredriksvard2603 if there was a footage of him playing war somewhere
Lars should be here.
Is the fastest drummer when it comes to lose tempo.
I'm laughing at your joke right now, probably not at the part you intended to be funny though xD
Dude he's so fast he can't even keep up with himself.
But Ulrich play better Songs than those all Drummers together.
And Metallica alive Sound awesome .
Damage inc and battery are fast as hell tbh
@@jordanmahony4268 damage inc 180 bpm battery 194 at double time. Fleshgod Apocalypse -The Violation(Fransesco Paoli in this vid) 270 Bpm. Metallica is not even close to the speed some of these guys are playing
Give me Thomas Haake any day..
Havent heard him playing fast
EvoSvex look up the meshuggah song “War”
I don't like how fast drumming sounds. Doesn't groove. Doesn't move. Well it moves but too much to be heavy. If everything is heavy - nothing is heavy, you gotta have dynamics.
@@nolanbeasinger8555 The drums in War are programmed
@@Hannorden they're programmed but by haake on a kit, and he plays live.
Can someone tell me what the song at 7th place is called?
No Dominator from Dark Funeral
NFG PUNK my thoughts exactly.
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that!
Yeah, renders this list incomplete. You cannot name 10 fast drummers in Metal without mentioning Dominator. It's like naming 10 famous religions and tell nothing about Christianity (weird example in this case^^).
No proscriptor either
I'm watching Hellhammer at 1:20, and I'm curious, is there any special difference in having the symbols hanging downward vs. the traditional way of setting up the symbols? (I'm not a drummer, so I don't know these things).
the traditional way is handy for a more dominant sound but doesn't give as much rebound so some drummers setup their symbols that way so they can play faster. that is also the reason why the ride symbol is being used a lot while playing blast-beats
@@dannysprite Oh, thanks. That explains a lot.
Guy: screeches
Scientists: told you taradactels didn’t go extinct
This is the video that made me discover Cryptopsy and get into the death metal genre. Thanks Loudwire.
They are such a criminally underrated band. Glad you got into them!
@@roelofzinn8227 They're not underrated.
@moneytalksandpeoplelisten4086 Not within the proper circles where the listeners tend to be experienced in terms of the very extreme end of the heaviness spectrum, open-minded, and hungry for information regarding bands and artists.
However... If I had a dime for every 'far out death metal' listener I've encountered who considers the likes of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Pestilence, Entombed, Carcass, Dismember, Atheist, and Cynic as 'super obscure heavy shit for true headbangers', I'd have quite a bit of money. Nowadays, you get the same thing with the major deathcore groups and some of the slam stuff. Oh, and should I mention how many of these jokers don't even know Obituary?
Amongst people that REALLY know, no, Cryptopsy are a well-known and respected band. But there be some serious ass-clowns about.
I think Frost from Satyricon should be on here. He did hold the Guinness World Record for the world's fastest drummer.
Is that documented anywhere? I can't seem to find anything to support that claim, but it may just be difficult to find these days since all the articles I've found point towards the current record holder being an 11 year-old kid, lol.
Where's? John longstreth, ken bedene or nils dominator...
These Loudwire guys are fucking clueless as always, don't mind them.
@Capricornus Astud he has skills like no other.. a concert of Origin is a marathon. Interesting point on that, is the fact the beats he plays seems to be not hard for him and totally insane for the regular drummer.
And who really gives a fuck...when u are a good drummer with a band you dont need lightning speed
Proscriptor should have been on this list as well
@@mthomas1973 wait what? What was the point you were trying to make exactly?
What no Trym Torson, Nils Fjellström, Pete Sandoval, or Nicholas Barker!?
Trym should be in the top 3, if not #1 !!
Intro music: exists

@metal matt me listen good metal. slipnot not metall slipnot bad.
@metal matt Isn't all metal "real" metal as long as you enjoy you're craft? At least he's not a popstar, or some shitty mumble rapper. Maybe you should worry about so called "artists" instead of people who have different tastes in actual good genres.
@metal matt What do you mean? wtf u dumb?
metal matt I mean slipknot is metal it’s alt that’s still metal man
when aaron was just number 2 i was scared
The thing that surprised me about that is he’s in a DEATHCORE band. Made me realize that infant annihilator actually had something more to them than their cringy music videos.
@Its Rizzli- Well yeah, but Infant Annihilator still has breakdowns much like this generation's deathcore bands. But thanks for pointing out that I forgot to add the technical before deathcore. Suddenly I feel like I just disrespected a highly underrated band by just saying they're deathcore as opposed to technical deathcore.
@Its Rizzli- I mean, I'm just saying that they're within that realm of metal. Death metal and deathcore are usually different, but I think it's rare for deathcore bands to add more technicality to their music. So, yeah. Infant Annihilator is one of those bands that takes tech death and fuses it with deathcore. So basically, Necrophagist meets Whitechapel.
And I'm just a really big metal nerd, so I get really passionate about metal music. And you were close enough.
@Its Rizzli- infant annihilator is definitely not technical death metal, theyre deathcore or technical deathcore.
@Its Rizzli- Infant Annihilator is very much a technical deathcore band.
Where is the sunn o drummer???
@guardian of memes lmao
Sunn O has a drummer?
@@Palestina.non.grata86 they have 2 drummers with cardans
cracked me tf up😂
What's the title of that fleshgod apocalypse's song?
Where’s Derek Roddy? If George Kollios was on here Derek should’ve been right behind him or before him. Mangini is my favorite drummer!
You suck
They're not gonna have everyone you want on a list. There's literally only 10 slots
I can respect these guys because you’ve got to have some serious talent to play them. However, some of them are so fast that there is nothing musical about what they are playing. IMO what they are playing just sounds like a bunch of random noise.
So does most metal to be honest
ChangingCrisis I agree. Mike Mangini, however, is one seriously talented dude.
Yeah lol
apiece ofdirt mike mangini has only been in dream theatre since 2010, I’m pretty sure that’s Mike Portnoy
SinfulRanger 21 No that’s Mangini at the end. Like I said all of these guys are very talented but Mike Mangini’s speed is applied in a musical sense. The other guys, though talented, play crazy fast simply for the sake of doing it.
Yeah don't wonder why a drum program is n.2 on this list
Panos Flo he records on an electric kit, but he was actually playing along to it in the video, what more do you whiners need to show that he can play it 😂
@@xxXthekevXxx come on, if you watch the video it's ridiculous how obvious it is that he's not playing. He just looks like a clown trying to mimic the programmed drums
@@katosflo7871 aaron can actually play this, its Programmed for the album but hes played parts of songs live during warmup for Black Tounge and theres a couple live videos i think of him playing cunt crusher live
Panos Flo exactly! There's no video of him playing his own songs in the right way and sure isn't this one full of diferent angle shoots and almost speed up in some parts. The video of him playing on a electric kit he's sloppy at some points and the other one,that he's playing on some car stand along the song,we can't see shit besides he's missing some parts of the song. So yes,the whiners continue as no.2 is too much for Aaron.
@@andrepereira744 either way, the point of his band is a joke, they were just an internet band that got big and theyre pretty open about it. But he certainly is able to play his shit even though it can be sloppy here and there but i do see your points
Reminds me of a typical worksite. The drummer is the dude in the hole with a shovel, and the rest of the band are the guys standing around the hole looking at him.
