Jarro Raphael - ex Destroyer 666, ex Destruktor Virgil Denati EASILY AUSSIES BEST DRUMMER! AND PROBABLY EVEN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dude from Infernal Method Matt Skitz - Damages, Fill in drums for Sadistik Exekution on Euro Tour
Overall - Virgil Donati! He fucking smokes all! Metal - Grahame Goode! Oh and I hear that drummer from Apolyom is pretty good!
Matt also played on Destroyer 666's first demo, didn't he? Grahame from Infernal Method is definitely great although I don't quite see what sets him apart from the pack? Matt Skitz is probably still my favourite though. And there's a fella named Shaun who played for Ne Plus Ultra who is totally off his guts, although he hasn't played in any metal bands since he left NPU. The drummer from Alarum (forgotten his name, argh) is a fantastic progressive drummer too. But yep, Virgin Donati's the shit.
The drummer from Black Steel Damien Petrelli... his skills aren't showcased in BS, but his own band Syzygy are a prog instrumental band in which he comes into his own.
Fuck you all. For metal I'd say Dave Haley. He pull of some of the tightest fastest drumming ever - everytime. I didn't even know Virgil was an Aussie!!!!
Good point dude, forgot all about David Haley, that guy's a total nutter too. And he looks so laid-back and relaxed while he's drumming, heh.
I've heard the mastered copy of the new album. Shits all over isle of Disenchantment. I mean allllllllllllllll over...
Damien Biggers- the drummer from Sakkuth. You can witness it all for yourselves when Morbid Tales festival comes to a town near you
Yeah Virgil is Italian but he lives in Geelong man! THIS GUY IS A FREAK!!! The fucker went out to tea to a 5 star restaurant with my friends dad and guess what he brought with him and played the whole time???????? A FUCKING PRACTICE PAD!! LMFAO!!! And he is also on his 3rd wife cos he loves drums more than his wife! 100% dedicated musician great to see!
Damien Petrilli from Black Steel/Syzygy very good drumming style....just to get a west australian point of view here heh heh Maybe a few others like Mark from Vespers Descent, Louie from Pathogen, Troy from Enforce, Maximum Perversions drummer...
yeah, I saw some pics my mates had taken with him when he played a gig down here. He looked tired old and grey (A dedicated musician)
Damo from Sakkuth, Graham Goode(his Automation shit is fuckin unreal), Stevo from Dungeon, Skitz,The dude from Astriaal is pretty damn good to.
suds from Atomizer and Dreadnaught, dion from Penthus and matty rizzo from Blood duster / Order of Chaos.
For blitzkreig drumming: T.S.I. - StarGazer / Martire Matt - ONI / DarkLord Hooves - Portal Glen - Psychrist Nick - Miscreation Gryphon - Astriaal Dave - Psycroptic HellCunt - BW/Goth etc.... 666
Glen - Psychrist Gryphon - Astriaal Dave - Psycroptic suds from Atomizer Damien Biggers Grahame from Infernal Method Matt Skitz Virgil Denati All these guy's mentioned are amazing players. Suds really sticks out I saw Atomizer recently for the first time with Pungent. He really fucking blew me away. He pounds the fuck out of that kit. Other worthy mentions: John from Devolved. Drmsby Middleton from Transfear Old mate from Misery Old mate from Excruciate CLiff from Crypt, Open Eyes, Invocation (Eaily Skitz's equal) Linsey from Dreamkillers, Godnose Old mate in Regurgitator who was also in Naxul Old mate from Mindsnare Old mate from Toe To Toe
