Most Technical Drummers of All Time
He is the real technique.. Hear his drums on songs like Honor Thy Father (Dream Theater), Nightmare To Remember (Dream Theater) Roots Of All Evil (Dream Theater)... God Hates Us (a7x), Save Me (a7x) Dream theater lost their greatest member.. And dream theater won, t be the same without Portony
DT will not ever be as good as they were with Mike. They truely have lost part of their soul and Mangini is not the answer. He's a little faster but boring not creative
Voting for this guy 100%.. He is brilliant and helped DT get to the popularity they're at now
His face just says it all ( I don't take eney thing serious at all so ya ITS NORMAL)
Mike Portnoy? Really? Before Peart? Huh. Well, Peart ruled the drummer scene back when Portnoy was still a sperm cell, and he did it for over than forty years! Win that Dream Theater!
I feel that he is the ultimate package when it comes to, power, stamina, technicality, creativeness behind the kit. He is not called the Professor for nothing.
Neil Peart is the most overrated drummer in the world, sure he is amazing but there are better drummers out there then Neil.
Examples: Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey, etc etc
I considered him to be one the best of all time and can play anything from Rock to Jazz.
He is amazing! The biggest prove on that he is technical the he can do faster drums than Joey Jordison twice the speed but without making' the drums sound bad... Drummer Of Japan X does fast style but he ruins the sound of his drums because he tries to be speed with no creativity
He is simply awesome, amazing how fast he is more than so many overrated drummers!
The pinacle of greatess, just amazing. No question he's the best and he also plays jazz & latin
This guy is unbelievable!
It's sad that Gene is not at least Top 5 on this list. As far as technicality is concerned, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better than Gene "The Atomic Clock" Hoglan. He has invented many Blast beatsgrind beats that are used today.
His work for Dark Angel is also remarkable - some of the fastest and heaviest thrash songs out there (Darkness Descends, Merciless Death).
He has much fast skills, dethklok has shown us that
If you didn't know, he is Dark Angel's drummer.
He isn't quite as entertaining as Portnoy was either Dream Theater, but Mangini is a god. He is near unmatched in technical skill and has set many worlds fastest drummer records, primarily being the first to beat 1,200 single stroke roll hits in a minute. That's ought to count for something.
He is sooo...UNDERRATED.
He started playing drums when he was just 6, His parents saw him hitting the pots and pans since he was 3 years old! ( Born drummer..)
So his parents decided to buy him a drum kit, then he stared practicing along Iron Maiden, AC/DC and many other bands, Since he was 13.
He played in local bands until the late '80s when he formed Cartilage with his friends heavily influenced by death metal which became very popular in underground scene...Later he formed many bands, and hey...let me tell you he has played with more than 30 bands...
This guy is insane on drums. He's the perfect drummer for such an insane band as Wintersun.
Listen to liquid fire, explosia, l'enfant sauvage, backbone, gift of the guilt and you will know that he is the best young metal drummer
Listen to la enfant savage and you will know the he is one of the most technical.. Underrated drummers
He is so amazing I didn, t hear a lot of tool songs actually but I have to say he is one of the most technical..
The only person on this list who even compares is Mike Portnoy. Jordison and Adler are definitely not morr technical.
Listen to: outta love again, girl gone bad, hot for teacher, Panama, top Jimmy. I could list every Van Halen song here. The drum intro in hot for teacher is incredible. It sounds like a car!
This guy is the best drummer in the world! Why can’t people see that! This guy is way better than all the other drummers in this list!
