Really? For my ears it sounds that Lombardo tries too hard, especially some double bass things are out of his league at early records.
|
I was gonna mention Testament - The Gathering.
I think thats his absolute shining moment in metal, but thats just me. |

Nicke on Clandestine gets my vote too. Those drummings are se genious and full of feeling. |
Worst thing I've ever heard about Metal drumming. He wasn't perfectly trigger polished at it because he was the first one to even do double bass that out of control on record and no studio trickery was involved. Go check out some Combat Tour footage or anything from those years.
On topic, the off-kilter drumming on Under A Funeral Moon is killer. |

I hold Lombardo in very high regard for his feel and how 'alive' his playing is- especially his trademark fills that just spring out of nowhere and are always super messy and chaotic and somehow always land on their feet with cat-like precision.
when it comes to heavy/rock then Les Binks is the ultimate! his playing on Killing Machine and Stained Class pack so much feel thats its hard to put into words

No it isn't. "Despise the Sun" is Dave Culross, "The Will to Kill" is Justin DiPinto, ex-Pyrexia/Mortal Decay/Divine Rapture/etc. |

| Capricornus on Graveland's Thousand Swords. Sloppy but played in a war-like manner. Very fitting for the album. |

Fenriz' drumming on the first 6 records is fantastic; great feel, perfect sense of when to play/not to play. His drumming is never bad, but on these albums he has great feel.
Incubus from Inquisition is one of the most interesting drummers in underground metal; really makes the songs shine.
Whoever plays drums in Mgla is also a favourite of mine; he has the ability, like Incubus, to totally shift the feel of a riff with a simple change in his playing.
And Christhammer's drums on the early Necros Christos stuff are beautifully played too. |

Two drummers that immediately popped into my head when I read the title of the thread. Esp MGŁA. |

This. Also, some of the drum machine used later on by Darken sounds extremely soulful...
I would add Vlad on Drudkh - Estrangement, I especially like the charming almost sloppiness during blast beats, like at the end of Skies at our Feet |

I think it's the reissue LP of Under... where it states he only used the one floor tom and took all other toms off for rehearsals and the album. When listening to the album, I never thought about the fact that indeed all you hear is that kettle drum sounding floor tom if the beat isn't going. Pretty cool idea.
Edited for ridiculous spelling. |

Pretty sure on Will Stronger Than Death/Spears of Heaven he plays the drums by himself. Some of the patterns and fills sound too crazy for a machine.
