@@MassholeDrums Periphery is my favorite band, I love Matt but I don't think he is necesseraly as good as all of these guys I mentioned, I feel like he holds back a little bit.
@@feliperibeiro463 that doesn't mean he's not better but i think you need to listen to P1 more because that album shows his true potential while a lot of their newer stuff i get why youd say "holding back".

Matt makes it look what he's doing much easier than it is. Eloy is sick. I need to hear more of his stuff. Halpern, Jay Postones, and Chris Allison all belong on any list of great metal drummers. I'd take em all over the rest anyday, but especially halpern.
I'd say Gene Hoglan. Just look at all bands he was in and the amazing drumming he did in all of them. Dark Angel, Death, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Dethlok just to name the big ones I can think of off hand.
My personal faves in no particular order: Ian Paice, Dave Lombardo, Eloy Casagrande, Tomas Haake, George Kollias, Trym, Nick Barker, Gene Hoglan ... special mentions for various reasons outside metal: Jet Black (The Stranglers), Boris Williams (The Cure), Evelyn Glennie, Louie Bellson & Simon Phillips 👍
I’ve always said Gar Samuelson’s work on the Peace Sells album is the greatest metal drumming performance of all time. Amazing feel, technique and groove. Like Buddy Rich plays metal! And all done pre Pro-Tools!
Gar Samuelson has always been one of my favorite drummers. He sounds great on Peace Sells but his speed and technicality on Killing is my business.. is pure insanity. RIP Gar 🥁
@@jasondixon6760 Richard Christy & Gene are both excellent but I do believe Richard is a bit smoother behind the kit. I've heard Gene mess up a few times live & even on records. In my opinion "the atomic clock" is a bit overrated. No drummers are perfect and Gene is a fuckin beast. Out of the Death drummers I think Richard was the best, Sean Reinert was 2nd & Gene Hoglan was 3rd.
@@kayvan671 i Agree i think it would be Sean..Gene ...Richard.I commend Richard for over reaching the entire time and having the balls to do it.Now i by no means mean myself or much people coukd play most he left on tracks...Sone of it sounds confusing and doesnt fit.It happens frequently on sound
When your nicknames are "The Atomic Clock" and "The human drum machine" you're one of the best. Add to that the fact that he plays the way he does wearing ankle weights and combat boots, Gene Hoglan takes it for me.
I must say Thomas Haake is very humble and kind soul, for being one of the best drummers in metal to mention all those others and not himself, what a guy and he got the atomic clock's name in there. m these are my two votes and Gene(Atomic Clock) Hoglan is an insanely impossible-to-imitate drumming god and such a good soul, to mention Bill Ward, one of the most underrated and not mentioned a lot. like i said my two no three top votes
Dirk Verbeuren, Tomas Haake, Mario Duplantier, and lastly Neil Peart, cause he's your favorite drummers favorite drummer, even outside of metal, major influence on any scene of music
Tomas Haake brought about a huge transformation in metal drumming. His playing was a game changer, a crucial reference for modern drummers. It's comparable to what Sean Reinert did with "Human" back then.
Tomas Haake is a genious of groove and detail. He can't play as fast as some others not anymore anyway but he does so many things at the same time with the kit that it's mindblowing to watch.
I would put Tomas Haake up against anyone in Metal. After the drum cam video of Clockworks and my lifelong pursuit of trying to learn Bleed, I can’t think of anyone I’d rather pick.
Still Thomas Haake himself claims someone else to the the best. I think Thomas is the closest to the real answer. It’s impossible to name THE best drummer in metal since there are so many and very few get to show their full ability when playing, since a good drummer only does what he need to do for the music he is playing. If Thomas himself would name a drummer in general, not just a metal drummer, I’m sure his jazz drumming friend Morgan Ågren world be up there. That’s also who I would name to the the best drummer I’ve ever seen.
My favorites Lombardo, Steve Asheim, Donald Tardy, Nicko Mcbrain , Hoglan, and Richard Chrisy because I was listening to Sounds of Perserverance earlier today, I had to add that in
Sebastian lanser, Brody Taylor smith, ash Pearson are prolly my top 3, mainly stylistically, the way they play just feels good. Menza got me into drums for real tho.
You know how the Powerpuff Girls were made out of sugar, spice and everything nice? Well, the ultimate metal drummer is made out of Chris Adler's hands, Tomas Haake's feet, Bran Dailor's fills and chemical X is Gene Hoglan.
yep. to be fair, some of these names were surely influential on him (though I think he said Thomas Haake and Chris Penney were the metal drummers who really took him into heavy music), but I think he's an easy choice for "best" in the sense of not just being technically amazing, but super well-rounded and musical - the guy can play basically anything.
It was so cool to hear Thomas Haake pull out Kenny G as his first name! I've been a huge fan of Kenny since he first started playing with Secret Chiefs 3 and they guy is such a master and sooooo versatile. coming from jazz and latin music gave him an edge in musicality that when he discovered metal (quite late, apparently) he carried through. he's so, so good on the kit, and one of the nicest and most humble guys. he deserves a lot of attention but don't stop as Imperial Triumphant, and don't miss the HOLY VEHM when it finally comes!
Thomas Haake Gene Hoglan Sean Reinhart Vinnie Paul Chris Adler Danny Carey(if you consider tool metal) Nick Menza Portnoy Richard Christy George Kollias Dave Lombardo Mario Duplantier
The three most influential drummers for me were Sean Reinart, Gene Hoglan, and Alex Marquez. I feel like these guys were doing things that nobody else was and that current metal drumming monsters would not exist had it not been for their influence
@@hyetrwesmelvin8167garstka beats them all in terms of “regular” drumming but he’s barely a metal drummer. He’s a gospel drummer playing with a metal band. No shade though, he’s a monster for sure.
I went to school with the drummer Tomas Haake mentions "Calle Bäckström" in CB murdock, and he was INSANE in school, like unique... and i can just imagen he got better, if you have never seen him drum, you should.

The 3 criteria I like to use are creativity, technical ability, and drum sound. And for me personally, Mike Portnoy checks all of those boxes perfectly. He makes the drums sound musical - even melodic. His drumming has stood the test of time for the past 30+ years as well

Eloy Casagrande, Matt Garstka, Mario Duplantier and Tomas Haake are definetely on my top. These guys are the peak of drumming for me.
Baard Kolstad is also amazing, if you haven't checked him out.
you forgot Matt Halpern

Guys don't forget, like he said it's HIS top stop with the "you forgot this one" thing, everyone has his own favorites
Tomas Haake is just unreal. He gets my vote.
Yeah Tomas haake for sure
So glad that Gene immediately says Bill Ward. That man doesn't get nearly enough credit for his role in the history of drumming. Such an amazing feel.
you got that right
Genes too humble to say himself
The band Haake mentions is C.B Murdoc and the drummer is Carl Bäckström
Thanks for giving his name, I have to check him out.
Carl is an absolutely superb drummer. His syncopation on CB Murdoc is mind boggling and his drums on Sectu just blistering
Tomas Haake, Chris Pennie, Sean Reinert. These guys created new ways of playing Metal.
Elliot Hoffman?
YES to Sean! All 3 are great.
You. Nailed. It.
I'd add Ken Schalk though.
Gene Hoglan too
Mike Smith of Suffocation, Dave Lombardo of Slayer, and bill Ward of sabbath.
I'd say Gene Hoglan. Just look at all bands he was in and the amazing drumming he did in all of them. Dark Angel, Death, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad, Testament, Dethlok just to name the big ones I can think of off hand.
One of Gene's lesser known projects was called The Almighty Punchdrunk. The album is on RUclips.
@@the6ig6adwolf Big thanks! Had not heard of them before, and they sound right up my alley!
I'd say Gene Hoglan for Death Metal and Hellhammer for Black Metal, the body of work of Hellhammer speaks for itself also.
I feel like Richard Christy doesn’t get the credit he deserves. Such a monster on drums.
Yo his drumming on The Sound of Perseverance was crazy
Richard is a ducking mutant
I didn't think anyone could step-in and fill the shoes of Hoglan, but Christy did an amazing job.
Yup and he smoked dream theater's drummer at that drum event.
Totally agree
Uncle Gene is always so cool and modest.. lots of knowledge in his response.. Besides he is on my top 3 as well.
Sean Reinert, Gene Hoglan, Gar Samuelson and Alex Rüdinger
Elliot Hoffman?
I though that after naming Sean, that some more good taste in drummers would follow. I was very wrong.
Tomas Haake
Morgan Agren
Elliot Hoffman
Matt Gartska
Toby Wright
Alex Rudinger
Abe Cunningham
probably the best list in here. Only missing Sebastian Lanser and Travis Orbin.
Tomas Haake is the correct answer.
A. The guy from Meshuggah B. The guy that plays bleed C. The polyrhythms master D. Thomas
True
Absolutely
Gene hoglan
@@Spiritcr1jsher Gene is a legend, but he’s not that great of a drummer compared to others.

Spencer is the gold standard for tech metal, man is insane.
@@psychotictactoe Definitely!
thats fair. In terms of straight technical ability I would say Thomas Haake is better, but its close
Gene is probably the most wholesome person in metal. He's also an absolute beast behind the kit.

That shout-out to Bill Ward!!
I’m not saying he’s the absolute best but one of my favorite drummers is Steve Shelton from Confessor. He’s definitely worth checking out.
