Best Groove Metal Drummers

The Top Ten
1 Chris Adler (Lamb of God) Christopher James Adler is an American drummer, best known as a member and founder of the groove metal band Lamb of God, and Grammy Award winning member of Megadeth.

I disagree. Chris Adler is highly overrated and people can play far better than him. Don't be such a fanboy nooreldeen

Are you kidding me -_-? Chris adler should be at the top.. Nobody can play like him he is a BEAST

I'm not a fanboy but the beats of his drum kit are awesome.

Chris adler plays double bass very well!

2 Vinnie Paul (Pantera) Vincent Paul Abbott, better known as "Vinnie Paul" (March 11, 1964 - June 22nd, 2018) was an American professional drummer and producer. Alongside his late brother Dimebag Darrell, he co-founded the Heavy Metal Bands Pantera and Damageplan, with whom he would find success with in the former. After the passing of Dimebag and the dissolution of Damageplan, Vinnie would later join another band, Hellyeah. Vinnie died of a heart attack in June 2018.

The best in my humble opinion. He fits into the Pantera equation so perfectly you sometimes forget he's there, but he is, permeating and accenting the sound masterfully.

3 Jeremy Spencer (Five Finger Death Punch)

Jeremy is by far the best drummer of today. He' such an energetic player and his footwork is amazing!

Jeremy lays down some amazing grooves. Awesome tempos and skill.

Greatest drummer ever!

4 Mario Duplantier (Gojira) Mario Duplantier is a French musician and artist best known as the drummer of technical death metal band Gojira.

I love Vinnie Paul and Chris Adler, but Mario is just better!

5 Andols Herrick (Chimaira)

Nothing more to say, best one.

6 Igor Cavalera (Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy) Igor Graziano Cavalera is a Brazilian musician. He is best known as the former drummer for Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura, which he co-founded with his brother Max in 1984. Max left the band in 1996, and Cavalera himself would depart ten years later, making him the last original member of Sepultura to leave the band.

He's good, this is the best drummer in the world!

7 Dave McClain (Machine Head)
8 John Boecklin (DevilDriver)
