[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"]What does that prove? Metallica created metal/thrash metal, and Slayer continued on by playing death metal.Epak_

Metallica years active: 1981 - present.

Slayer years active: 1981 - present.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to raise an eyebrow at the assertion that Slayer "continued on" with regards to Metallica.

Thisis death metal and Slayer is quite far from it. They're thrash like everyone here tries to tell you.

Metallica isn't the only definition of thrash metal you know. Would you call these guys death metal?

Maybe I'm just used to fast and intense thrash I guess. Metallica doesn't do a thing for me.

And with that you lost any and all possible respect from me and also credibility. Both are Thrash Metal bands and are part of the Big 4 along with Megadeth and Anthrax. It can be said that Slayer did have an influence on the Death Metal scene, but if you want early pioneers of Death Metal, look to bands like Obituary, Autopsy and Death.

Also, that poll is a joke. You dont mention Dave Lombardo or Hellhammer, two of the most well known and influential metal drummers. I vote Neil.

As for Metallica creating Thrash Metal, you are wrong. No one can really say who started it because all the bands came around at the same time, except for Megadeth seeing as that was after Metallica. Before Metallica there was Leather Charm, so we could go as far as to say that they created Thrash (although they might've been Glam, but its unlikely). Metallica did bring Thrash to the forefront of the metal scene, but soon changed their sound to just regular heavy metal/hard rock. Slayer continued on but soon changed as well, as did Anthrax and Megadeth.

Like GabuEx said, you might just be trying to get a reaction and you have succeeded. I dont think I need to continue any longer.

the best drummer idk but my favorite has to be THE REV from AVENGED SEVENFOLD

now that dude got serious skills dont believe me listen to "almost easy" theres more songs

in which the drumming is really good but thats the only one that comes to mind right now

aside from Neil Peart, that list is HORRIBLE. Are you serious? Good God!

Anyway, as far as drummers still active in music today, Gene Hoglan, George Kollias, Derek Roddy, Inferno, Hellhammer, Mike Portnoy, Nick Barker, and Danny Carey are all fantastic drummers as far as technique goes. Oh, and Tim Yeung deserves a mention, I suppose, for pure raw speed although Kollias gives him a run for his money. Honestly, i'm not even too sure about listing Barker; I just have a soft spot for him.

I'm going to say Josh Freese. He isn't the fastest, or the hardest hitter, but his timing and sense of rhythm are immaculate, furthermore he can play pretty much any style of drums.

Example.

lars or travis barker. i bet you 90% of the other votes are for that slipknot idiot.higgydiggy

lmao. Yeah. Right.

Sorry man but thats a weak list...

weres buddy rich, Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy Art Blakey and John Bonham? also why is Larz Ulrich up their? :?

[QUOTE="higgydiggy"]lars or travis barker. i bet you 90% of the other votes are for that slipknot idiot.Paladin_King

lmao. Yeah. Right.

Joey Jordison is a hell of alot better than Barker and Ulrich combined. I know its all opinion but common now :lol:

HAHA lars is soo bad.. lars is the weakest link of metallica, then kirk.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Lars Ulrich is a joke. I really find it funny how people can claim he is "the best drummer in the world." He just beats on the drums with no musical talent. He is just fast and loud... he doesn't actually make a foundation for the rest of the band to build upon.Vilot_Hero

Lars urich is a good drummer, but he is not the best, there are plently of drummers better them him.

Trey AzagthothFloppy_Jim

.

there's not really any 'best' at anything probably, but I think that Buddy Rich is pretty good with a kit.quiglythegreat

As far as "rock" goes, John Wright from Nomeansno. He's also one of the most influential drummers from the past twenty years, whether or not you know it.

The fact that you mention Lars in the same sentence as Peart, and then claim that he's better makes me fairly sure this is a joke topic. Lars is Metallicas weakest musician.

and since when did Black Sabbath invent rock? WTF?

Best drummr is Flo Mournier from Cryptopsy. Infinatly faster than Lars, much more technical and able, plays with more flare and isn't nearly as annoying a person

the guy from tool,

danny kerry or something.
