Who do you think are some of the best local drummers for their tech. speed, beats, chops, originallity etc...

Wood from Acariya. Pat from I Destroyer.

I think the dude from Abnormality is but you can hardly hear all the things he does.

listen to the first two Goratory cd's

Thanks for the heads up, but I am talking about live.

fact - i am a better drummer than anyone who has ever played drums.

Nick from Life at Zero....Hands DOWN.

+1000000000000

and you have never played drums.

Mike Hubbard- Warhorse- crushingly loud. amazing doom drummer.

Darren (Goratory, BIS, Arsis, your moms band, ect)

Mike Heller (Malignancy)

shameless plug for a friend! :-D

PHIL REVOCATION

Chris Helme (The Accursed, Smite The Righteous, Polaris) does lots of interesting shit.

Mark - Neurotoxin, Hardtimes.....

Sir Gillis.

yummy said:

amen

not to sound cocky, but my own drummer in the body farm. i can guarantee that maybe 4 people from this entire board have ever heard him play, so he's sort of "undiscovered" in the metal scene. hopefully we'll get off our lazy asses to record/play some shows within the near future so people can actually hear what he can do.

i'll second chris helme and obviously darren cesca, and toss in devon from sexcrement-one of the most creative and groovy drummers i've had the experience to jam with, and ryan murphy formerly of dour cursiva. he was with the body farm for a few months and that kid can fucking play. excellent chops, control, speed, volume, and creativity.

The winner is John Gillis. You all have no clue. No heaven for you.

i'm with jesus on this one

except john is in cali now.

Casey Cullen and Matt Johnson are probably the two best out there locally.

Dave Suzuki. I win.

I honestly didn't think it was a competition. But hey if it gets u off then more power to ya. It's all based on opinion. Metal-Mega FudgePacker

our drummer ian was pretty badass but it turned out that he was only good at playing drums and nothing else

Jeff from Hirudinea

Casey, or as i know him -Animal, from Suicide Dream

Josh Drolet from GOREALITY is great.

Metal Mega-Stud said:


Ooooh...well ya...you kind of do.

Ummm....Hellhammer is the only guy that can compare in my opinion.

so everyone is basing this on just speed? hmmm...

I bow to Darren Cesca, that guy is just way too good.

Some of favorites in no particular order.
Jay (Reverend Grundar)
Phil (Revocation)
Dane (Porphyria)
Jay (Abnormality, Goratory-Darren will never play with Jay's heart)
Chad (Eternal Suffering)
Mike (Bane of Existence)
Jeff (Hirudinea)
Johnny (Abhorred)
Seth (Hekseri)
Devon (Sexcrement)
Steve (Cythraul)
Mike (Godless Rising, Luekhorrea)
Ed (Deconformity)

yeah phil revocation is awesome
kelzo from bugs and rats ad the glow is my favorite drummer to watch play

never heard of that band

secthammer said:

i bow to your mom for being such a milf and raising you the be a better drummer than everyone else listed in this thread so far

Ian from Pillory is fucking nasty

Aegathis said:

I second that. Little Anthony (Coffin Birth, Dreaded Silence) is a pretty sick drummer, especially for his age. I can't wait to see how well he can play once he is old enough to drink.

Eric from Zircon is a really good drummer, too. Italian, food-obsessed, MILF-loving Anthony only plays with good drummers.

A couple lesser known favorites of mine are:

Joe - Hells Infinite VI (actually switched from drums to guitar)
Brian - Valasyrka, Hells Infinite VI (switched from guitar to drums)

then I have to agree with votes for: Little Anthony, Nick (L@Z), Dane, Seth and so many more. I give drummers credit, I can't play anything behind the kit

Lil' Ant goes without saying for me, since he constantly amazes me.

Hoser said:


Nick is bad ass.

Jay from Abnormality fucking kills

I dig Dane Porphyria's chops and Phil from Revocation's slaughter thrash style.

Samantha said:

Cant say thats been 100 percent true, ESPECIALLY with previous Coffin Birth drummers. One thing that makes Little A soo good is how versatile he is. Hes played in like 4 bands in the past year and a half, and all of which were completly different sounding than the other. I had really only heard him playing in Pathogenic before I had actually seen him play, and took his word for it when he said he could play the Coffin Birth tunes.

TheFilthyFrenchman said:

ian definitely commands the fuck out of such a small kit. first time seeing pillory with him, i was in disbelief that he could pull off sounding anything like darren with that small kit.

i guess that douchebag phil dubois is okay at the drums. he's better at chugging semen though.

Aegathis said:


agreed

Dwellingsickness said:

I will instruct Nick to perform handjobs on all of you in exchange for the nice compliments.

TheFilthyFaggothandler is pretty sick, I must admit. Darren is obv. nasty although hardly local anymore. Mike Read is a great drummer (Mechannibal), as is Jay (Aganihm/Unholy Trinity). Dane Porphyria, Ian Pillory, Christian from Deathamphetamine.. Devon from Sexcrement has a cool style; he knows how to rock the fuck out.

MarkFuckingRichards said:

you know it sugar dick

lol this pic came up when i searched for dog semen.

porphyria said:


I for one am not, I just believe Jeff from Hirudinea/Embryonic Cryptopathia is a snazzy drummer. I guess it doesn't help that I think Hirudinea is the best band in boston, besides Witch Tomb and Dekota.

porphyria said:

Mine certainly aren't speed-based, though both can play fast shit at will.

I would have to say Rich Horror is better than everyone at everything

awww you guyzzzzzlulzzzxcorexloloool

I agree, Rich Horror is deifnetly better than everyone at everything. Hes even better than the Fonz at living.

the dude who use to play in Ascendancy was good aside from his blasting, and my drummer Pete is tight all around

secthammer said:

or your mom at...

I have seen Dane from Porphyria drum since I was mad little, and he always blows my mind


And the drummer from Acariya never ceases to amaze me

My_Dying_Bride said:

Is that their new drummer? That guy fucking kills. I couldn't believe how much of a wide and diverse range he has with such a small ass set.

I am terrible at dying, despite numerous attempts.

You can't be perfect at everything.

not threatening to break someone's neck, you can't not threaten to break someone's neck, Rich

if rich horror succeeded at his pursuit of death, he would not be able to teach the world how to be perfect, but he could all at the same time. fuckin' paradox.

rich horror is the best enigma ever.

2nd Pete of dominatus. ive seen him him play many time and he never ceases to amaze me with something new. the drummers of revocation, porphyria, and abnormality are sick too.

as far as technical prowess, Madison from the Auburn System and Brian (ex-cadaveryne) are amazing

Personally, I would rank Jay from Goratory, Ian from Pillory, and Mike from Bane of Existence as my three local favorites.

Darren Cesca is a great drummer, but since Goratory/Pillory he hasn't really been in any bands I've been into. Also, The drummer from sexcrement impressed the hell out of me at the one show I saw him at.

Mike from BOE, Chris from The Accursed and John Gillis have always been the only local drummers that I liked enough that I could just watch them for the whole set. I know John moved to Cali. Whatever.

Mike from Dissector/my band I've always found to be pretty badass as well.

RichHorror said:

Don't worry, you'll get it down eventually.

Tim from Nadir crushes shit. Kid's a monster.

Paul Dumas from Brake For Moose.
Most of you guys on this board probably wouldn't like the band, but this kid (having played in several drastically different groups with him) can play anything, and play anything really great. Funk, Jazz, Latin, Punk, Hardcore, Metal, Prog, you name it. and he can do it on a 10 piece or a 3 piece. Impeccable technique. great guy. no ego.

Matt Ponte from Hive Smasher.
I boast about my drummer quite frequently. You can't touch his feet. But then again, I've never seen anyone spend so much time refining their foot work. 16ths at 270. Hellhammer had to program 16ths at 290 on the new dimmu record, and he drops down to triplets live. Not to say that he's better than hellhammer, but he is only 20 and he's gonna get there. His drums actually sound good too.
Bob Leahy.
He's not really in a band right now that I know of, but the kid can flat out play. he doesn't put much stock into chops, but if you want someone to play something that rocks, he's the guy.

oh fuck
John Gillis might be the best drummer from here, I totally forgot about him.
Ian Pillory kills too.

ShadowSD said:

No I won't. I'm immortal.

JOE FUCKING CALABRESE

RichHorror said:

Gillis = Machine

Correct.

ArrowHead NLI said:

You're not into Arsis? Lame.

noone mentioned that dude from baphomets horns (is ct local enough?)
him and john gillis make me want to just give up on playing drums and kill myself

That's the one band I have yet to see him play with. I don't dislike Arsis, just haven't heard much at all.

i nominate moe, now of mercury switch.

brian_dc said:

metalc0re fag

hate meeeeeee haaaaaaaaaate

also, Murph who used to play for DC and started things off with the body farm. Someone should hire this fucker and get him back behind a kit where he belongs. Ryan has some of the fastest, tightest hands on the market.

Brian from Dave and Steve. BOOM!

No one said Evan Sammons from LCTR.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

I gotta say that we have some sick Local drummers in these parts anyone seen Bound in Entrails thier drummer Ripper is only 20 and pretty damn good

Mike Adams

RichHorror said:

Aww Rich, you're too kind.

My vote goes to Gillis too, hands down.

i've yet to hear him play live. i dont doubt he's talented at all. i just can't really listen to that kind of music anymore.
