Best Rock/Metal Drummer

[Dark Jedi]

Now, I fully respect Neil Peart's skill, but he doesn't play what I like. I like fast, thrash beat with badass rhythm, not just pounding like a madman (Joey Jordison). Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc.) delivers sweet beats at a tremendous rate.

So, Peart wins the best drummer ever all-around, but Lombardo is a close tie.

Here's a video of Lombardo.

Tomas Haake, of Meshuggah would be one of my highest ranked. He plays almost nothing but off-time jazz beats, and the timing he's capable of is just crazy. It's hard to even follow their music at first, until you listen to enough of it and figure out the pacing.

Raymond Herrera of Fear Factory and Charlie Benante of Anthrax would also be high on the list.

Tommy Lee, why? Because he banged Pamela Anderson

Nothing like some Herpes Simplex 2 with your bass.

It was Hep C, not Herpes.
