Brann Dailor of Mastodon on Remission: Show me a better drumming performance?

[BlessedAreTheSick]

I still get blown away when ever I just sit and really listen to this guy work. The most 'active' drummer I can think of, with rediculous and catchy patterns. The only ones I can think of that come close are maybe some stuff from Tomas Haake, Flo Mounier...

This isn't meant to be 'list your 20 favorite drummers' as there seems to be one of those posts every 3 pages. I'm talking about single performances on specific records. I really want to hear some other peoples favorites, I'm interested to check stuff out if I've missed it.

Though I wouldn't recommend you much of their work (since many on this board would blindy dismiss it as dull wankery upon hearing a solo), but Neil Peart of Rush and Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater have always interested me as drummers.

 

[Colonial Boy]

I think Will Scharf of Keelhaul is more pleasing to the ears and has more groove, although in all his interviews he says he doesn't know what he's playing and he ruins the records.

I've never even noticed the drumming on Remission let alone been impressed by it.

crazy, technical, catchy drummers that instantly come to mind;

Sir Proscriptor McGovern (Absu, Melechesh) Tara (Absu)
Andyan Gorust (Siksakubur) Back To Vengeance
Jordan Varela (Debodified) Utopia in the Eyes of a Beast
Alexandre Erian (Neuraxis) Imagery, Passage Into Forlorn, Truth Beyond

 

[Slayed Necros]

Absu - Tara.

 

[MasterOLightning]

Brann Dailor is amazing. I also cannot recall another album with such non-stop awesome drumming.

 

[speed]

I concur with the thread starter, he is amazing. I wonder how tired and dehydrated he gets after each show. And Neil Peart couldnt pull Dailor's shit off- techinically yes, but never with such intensity

You need to go back and listen. Seriously, he is awesome.

Someone who hasnt been mentioned, the guy from Lykathea Aflame is really good. As is the drumming on Watchtower's albums.

 

[SculptedCold]

I've listened to Remission another two times since that post.....he sounds good to me, but far from amazing.

 

[DiscipleOfPlato]

As is the drumming on Watchtower's albums.

YES!! Rick Colaluca is incredible, certainly one of the most underappreciated drummers in metal. I would also profess the same for Fates Warning's drummer from the earlier recordings, Steve Zimmerman.

That's just whack, yo.

The first thing I noticed when I heard Mastodon was the crazy drumming.

I've always thought Raymond Herrera from Fear Factory was one of the best drummers around.

 

[oneshotendsthiswar]

it may not be your cup of tea, but the man is amazing without a doubt. his sense of rhythm and dynamic is unreal to me, he doesnt have to constantly blast, he just throws fills around like theyre nothing. good stuff.

 

[Nihilistic]

Andyan Gorust (Siksakubur) Back To Vengeance

Yeah! Fucking amazing.

Also, Jordan Varela is in Lust of Decay. He's great in their stuff too.

 

[Chopstick up the Peehole]

The guy from Cephalic Carnage is good....

 

[SculptedCold]

I also got Creative Chaos this morning, and Zabek of Yattering is pretty damn amazing too. He's like greased lightning.

 

[speed]

Check out Dailors performance on Today is the Day's In the Eyes of God.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah! Fucking amazing.

I need to hear Siksakubur.

About LoD, it's too bad they are horribly average when it comes to everything else. Their drummer is very technical and fast at times, I like the drumming...it's just...everything else ain't too hot.

Toma Corn is an amazing drummer (he's "that guy from Lykathea Aflame"), as is Proscriptor.

Brann Dailor is quite good, but they put the drumming a bit far in the mix on Remission, methinks.

Agreed, the production in general isn't amazing. However the drums aren't TOO buried at LOUD volumes... which is the way I prefer. Under the right influence, they are especially mezmerizing.

 

[Spirit In Black]

I agree he is amazing......this snare work is hard to top....except for Tomas Corn
