Best Extreme Metal Drummers
Extreme Metal is a term of the genres that are Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Doom Metal and sometimes speed metal.This kid has always been my favorite metal drummer in the entire planet. Trust me I saw him grow into the incredible unstoppable bomb droppable G that he is. Been killing ya'll softly since the late 90's and no one knew till now. you other drummers can't touch him. Thugmetal is a lifestyle and certain type of heart. you gotta live it to shoot it. And believe me this kid has. He will always be my copilot on the Slaughter Jet! Headbang if ya Gangbang
Homie is just hitting the sticks hard. So heavy and diverse. It blows me away to see a drummer nail every different sound. And I love how Austin will sit down and actually talk to you. Like you known him all you lives... Do not underestimate this guy...
I heard in Chimaira was playing but the only original band member left was mark hunter, I wasn't guna go. So I went. I watched them play, Austin blew my made my night even better. Hands down an awesome drummer very talented and awesome dude
Austin the one of the best, very unique beats and cymbal patterns. Been watching him Since the Bleed the Sky days hope for the best for him. Now he's been in Chimaira and now DevilDriver. The dude is a BEAST
An extremely underrated drummer in a, sadly, underrated band. Pure awesomeness.
Dude is a living metronome and double bass beat - insanity
Simply the best extreme drummer
Seen him live crazy skills
He did very amazing work with nile.. Nobody can play like kolias does... He is the fastest drummer alive... He did very amazing work with nile hear songs like Kafir, Lashed To Slave Sticks, The Fiends Who Steals The Magick Of The Deacesed, Annhilation Of The Wicked, cast down the heretic
When it comes to extreme metal drumming, this guy is the definition. Single foot blast at 295bpm? No problem. Just listen to "Kafir" and you'll agree
Lets be hoest, dave rules, but technically kollias is simply the best, for me followed by inferno and vitek.
Unreal speed and yet never gets sloppy.
He's a great drummer, and doesn't need to rely on triggers for his kick drum strokes to be audible. Great humble dude, and is really versatile.
"What can I say? The man is featured on half of my all time extreme metal albums - from Cradle of Filth, to Dimmu Borgir, to Old Man's Child. Unique, fast and above all sheer creativity.
His drumming in principle of evil made flesh is my favourite drumming on a metal album ever.
His the reason old Cradle of Filth sounded so dark and brutal back then, I wish he never left.
His drumming in lock up is insane.
He is the best thrash metal drummer alive he did very amazing work with slayer... He is the drummer who began playing with the fast style without him there won, t be most of the death metal drummers... And most of the drummers nowadays all of them are influnced by dave lambardo
Greatest drummer ever he should be number 1 he invented the blast beat
The best of the best...Dave is a thrash metal god
Dave is once of best drummer of all time
The best drummer ever. Not only for being extremly fast and the most technical one. But his feeling for groove and being able to play some kind of shuffle on the Hi-Hat while blasting is intense as hell! And those Ride patterns... Damn!
I don't like him as a person but he's a great drummer.
His drumming is so fast and sick!
Just listen to Pagan Fears

Shannon Lucas is an American heavy metal drummer from Staunton, Virginia. He is best known as the former drummer for death metal band The Black Dahlia Murder and metalcore band All That Remains. Shannon is such a great drummer and a fantastic guy. He is very underrated most of the time. His work with TBDM and battlecross is one of a kind. Sucks that he isn't with them anymore but good to see he went back to school. Shannon rocks!
Very amazing drummer he did good jop with both All That Remains and The Black Dahlia Murder...
Doesn't get any better than him
