You named them all ☹ I especially like Neil Peart. Even though i probably spelled his name wrong. Basically anyone who makes the drums into an instrument and not just a tempo keeper. ---

I suppose people here don’t know of inferno from behemoth then. Or vitek from decapitated. He’s my favorite, even if he died in 2008 on my birthday, he’s a God for metal drummers. Inferno is as well, because he has a melodic speed, not a noisy speed. ---

I also think Stewart Copeland is better than Neil, just due to the size of their sets and that Stewart is a better percussionist and is older. I am so happy I saw the police on their last tour years ago. ---

He’s my favorite, even if he died in 2008 on my birthday, he’s a God for metal drummers. Inferno is as well, because he has a melodic speed, not a noisy speed. I haven’t got too into metal drummers, though I have a huge respect for the style of drumming. I was watching a richard christy (charred walls of the damned) studio video recently, pretty great. slipknot’s drummer is very talented though I’m not too into their music as a whole. If you count Korn then David Silveria was excellent. Then of course terry bozzio is fantastic as well. Though I’m more familiar with his work with Zappa being I didn’t really follow Korn’s work much after 2005 or so, once their guitarist left. ---

That’s true, But Seeing Copeland live for the last time with Sting and Andy made me happy, and he really is amazing. I love all sorts of Genres of rock/metal, so I can appreciate any kind of talent. ---
