Top 10 Metal Drummers from Nordic European Countries

Nordic countries include the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), Finland, and Iceland.

I wasn't sure whether to include Opeth drummers because their status is a bit complicated:
- Anders Nordin is actually a Brazilian adopted by Swedish parents.
- Martin Lopez was born in Sweden to Uruguayan parents, who later moved to Uruguay, then back to Sweden...
The Top Ten
1 Tomas Haake Tomas Haake is a Swedish drummer and main songwriter of the experimental metal band Meshuggah. He is known for his polyrhythms and technical ability. In 2012, he was named the 5th best Modern Metal drummer by MetalSucks.net. He was named the number one drummer in the "Metal" category, in the July 2008 edition of Modern Drummer magazine, as decided upon in the magazine's Readers' Poll.
2 Daniel Erlandsson

Arch Enemy, ex- Carcass

3 Jaska Raatikainen

6 Mikkey Dee Micael Kiriakos Delaoglou, known better by his stage name Mikkey Dee, is a Greek-Swedish rock musician.

He is a half-Greek Swedish-born drummer (King Diamond, 1985-1989)
King Diamond and Lemmy Kilmister stated that Mikkey Dee is the greatest drummer in the world. I wouldn't agree with this but it shows Mikkey Dee is an acclaimed drummer.

At the Gates, Paradise Lost, The Haunted, and more.
He's Daniel Erlandsson's brother (Daniel is Arch Enemy's drummer)

8 Daniel Mullback
9 Kim Ruzz

Mercyful Fate (1981-1985)

10 Tommy Portimo
