love how you really put some effort into explaining why different drummers are on this list. looking forward to part 2. (p.s. - steve asheim really deserves to be in the top 5 of this list. of all the death metal drummers from the early days of the genre, his playing has stood out as being more rythmic and better thought out than most)
We need the great Lord Marco in here. What he does is beyond human. And I'm not talking about his speed alone. I'm talking about how he achieves to be creative at incredibly high tempos and never writes boring or straight drumlines. He is the perfect blend of technique and musicality and he's being overlooked for many years now
Difficult to please everyone and to include everyone. The "perfect list" is the one created by yourself and for yourself. Your list will be either be very similar, completely different or exactly the same. Either way, no one will be incorrect, in my humble opinion (unless you include Rikki Rockett from Poison in this list, then we will exchange words! Ha ha!!). Always remember that opinions will always vary!!
I think Yanic Bercier is a pretty cool drummer too. His isolated drumlines are still complete songs. You can listen to them for hours and not get bored. I also like his signature ride patterns.
@@NAT-turners-Revenge they may not have been so active lately, but they undoubtedly helped kick off some of the techniques that all these drummers rely on. early morbid angel and suffocation (early 90's) was groundbreaking. i guess you cant blame the guy tho, he wasnt even alive back in the day when it all started ;)

Where’s Tim Yeung, George Kollias, Pete Sandoval, John Longstreth, Krzysztof “Doc” Raczkowski, Flo Mounier, Witold “Vitek” Kieltyka? I agree about Derek Roddy. He personally helped out our band when we were just getting started. He’s an amazing drummer & very caring person. Our drummer became really close to Derek. Derek was kind enough to let our drummer borrow his trigger. We used it for our live applications & recordings.
You throw a list of legends, any of which if missing you would be called out on, and peoples jimmies are still rustled. Great list, can't wait to see the remaining 5!
My favorite 1. Pete comando sandoval 2. Mick Harris 3. Bill Andrew 4. Derek roddy 5. Flo mounier 6. Steve asheim 7. DD crazy 8. Nick Anderson 9. Donald tardy 10. George kollias
Very happy to see Hannes Grossman on the list, as well as a few others, but there's one guy I'm really hoping makes the list...Michael Ranne Jr. His work with Through the Eyes of the Dead is just amazing. As a guitarist of 30 years+, I've seen and played with tons of drummers. Something about Michael Ranne Jr stands out.
I feel like this video was made just for me, Spencer Prewett and Hannes Grossmann in particular being some of my favorite players! Can't wait for part II🙂
HELL YES!! Seriously that dude actually shits on several of the guys in this list, has all the same skillsets plus incredible dynamic range, possibly the best in the field imo
iiXeno I thought so too. I love Derek, he’s such a cool ass guy from what I’ve seen and very intelligent when it comes to specifying different aspects of his playing.
you can tell in his more recent shows that all those years of playing have definitely worn him down through the multiple decades of high speed blast beats before kick drum triggers were even invented. no tricks, no technology, just pure talent, pent up anger, and debilitating back-pain. lol
@@skimbeeble6195 he's an old man lol. I don't necessarily like the past few albums, but the first 4 are always a go to for some brutal tunes. Respect to the band as whole. Also shout-out to Alex Webster best in the biz.

Dave Culross (Suffocation, Pyrexia, Gorgasm, etc.), Torey Moores (Deprecated), Rob Proctor (Assück), Brian Fajardo (Noisear), John Longstreth (Angelcorpse, Origin, etc.), George Torres (Dehumanized)...
Spencer Moore of Inferi, Austin Archey from Lorna shore, Jared Klein from Rivers of Nihil, Bryce Butler from every band imaginable and Marco pitruzella also from every band imaginable?
Flo Mounier Cryptopsy Pete Sandoval Morbid Angel Origin John Longstreth Max Kolesne Krisiun Mike Hamilton Deeds Of Flesh I used to go see those bands when I was younger. The drumming always blew my mind away! There are a lot of great drummers and bands but those are the drummers I can think of from the top of my head.
I like them all. I can learn from them to help me better myself as a drummer for my band. My band plays their best for me, and so I play my best for them. Teamwork = great sound.
Was looking for someone to mention Vitek. Every time I listen to Winds Of Creation I have to keep reminding myself he was only 14 or 15 when that album was recorded
YourDOOM AwaitsYou there are many songs playing in the background which are labeled when they start. The very opening song isn’t real though, I wrote and created that just for this list. Thanks for watching though!
Joe Blogs that might be the case, but I’m trying not to make a generic top death metal drummers list with the OBVIOUS genre defining masters. Some of them are inevitably gonna make the list but I saved a lot of them for honorable mentions, but there are incredible drummers scattered throughout the genre that I’d prefer to shine the light on besides those who’ve been in the light forever. Even then, it’s not like I’m listing total B list drummers. hopefully you’ll find more commonality in the second part of the list if your interested. Thanks for watching and replying though!
Violence Underground Yeah but that’s kinda exactly what you did lol. These guys are all amazing drummers and I’m not saying otherwise, however they’re all the obvious choices from generic techdeath bands (that is if you can even consider Gojira or Ne O dm). I know it’s an unfinished list and all, but this should include people like Vagelis Voyiantzis, Kai Hahto, Kevin Paradis, James Stewart, and Simon Schilling, alongside Roddy and Grossman, if you’re trying to choose non-obvious picks (or if you’re trying to be right lol) edit: also forgot Lille Gruber damn, that dude is like the undeniable king of “prog” death and absolutely stomps on anyone in the genre
Chandler Brown it’s a balancing act and it’s not perfect. There’s a lot of different things that went into making this list and I redid the order a billion times after weeks of narrowing down a list of ten drummers. Perhaps your right, it’s not like these guys aren’t well known for death metal drummers but I did say they weren’t b list drummers. Not all of these are obvious choices imo but we’re talking about some of the best. There’s just so damn many outside of a top ten that seem like obvious choices to people who enjoy discovering or know a good deal about extreme metal drummers. And I’d argue gojira and Ne O are progressive death metal bands, maybe not so much gojiras last album. There’s always gonna be other drummers people think should be on a top ten list but realistically, it’s all subjective.
I'm a fan a Anthony Barone and I won't challenge your choice,but I implore you to watch/listen to the drum can footage of the drummer "Darkside" from the band MGDLA, during their performance of Lessons in Futility V. I promise you, his technique is probably unlike anything you've seen. It doesn't seem possible to do the high-hat work he does while never ever altering his snare timing. Performing that technique seemingly thoughtlessly while doing these doubles and triplets on the kicks in my opinion has to be seen to be believed that it's not a drum machine doing that shit.
Spencer Prewitt at #10??? Are you kidding me? Here, let me make this easy for ya. Top 3 Death Metal Drummers based on the speed, technicality, sheer brutalness, and next level drumming: John Longstreth of “ORIGIN” Lord Marco of “Rings of Saturn” Spencer Prewitt “Archspire” Here are a few more David McGraw “Cattle Decapitation” Flo Mourner “Cryptopsy” Francesco P. “FleshGod Apocalypse” Gene Hoglan “Strapping Young Lad” Also, if you have never heard of the band “Beneath The Massacre” then you are missing out because they like Origin, Archspire, and Rings of Saturn are taking Death Metal to new heights.
