best drummer of modern metal?

The guy from KSW does a good job. Is he the best? Who knows?

Back to drummers, did anyone mention Jayson Sherlock? I'm listening to Paramaecium and realized how diverse this guy is.

Jerry Gaskill.

Good call on Jean Paul Gaster.

The guy from Demon Hunter was good in concert and it was kind of funny to see this 300lb man going crazy on the double bass.

Jean-Paul rules also..

*note* - this thread has been edited to get it back on topic. Thanks.

Gots my vote!

I'm giving a shout out to Gar Samuelson. He may be old school, but he often doesn't get the credit he deserves. RIP.

You really have to see Jerry live to appreciate how awesome he really is.

A big third nom for Brann Dailor from Mastodon. Carl McGinley & Eric Hernandez from Kylesa deserve an honorary mention as well.

Dave Lombardo
Gene Hoglan
Paul Bostaph
Charlie Benente
Pete Sandoval.

I vote for Scott Travis since he is still active; but if that's not modern enough, I vote for Anders Johansen.

Jason Bittner and i'll agree.

I'm not up on much of the modern metal tag that gets thrown around these days, but yea, he gets my vote too. I like the drumming on Trivium's The Crusade album too. Don't know much about him other than that album though.

Tim Yeung
Brann Dailor
Jeremy Hummell
Scott Phillps

Dave Grohl

Bittner is a great Drummer.Shadows Fall are one of the better newer bands IMO.

Another Good modern day Drummer is Joey Jordison.Even though I dont care for much of Slipknots music.

I'm gonna give some props to some young modern metal gunners. When I think of killer drums these first two bands immediately come to mind. ABR kid is insane and just keeps getting better. Bueno was behind the ultra brutal and chaotic drumming on Impending Doom - Nailed. Dead. Risen. But Blackwell did the drums on the new The Serpent Servant and really cleaned them up, much more rhythmic but still nice and brutal. Probably my Three favorite modern and current drummers right now.

MATT GREINER - August Burns Red
ISAAC BUENO - Impending Doom (Chad Blackwell was the drummer on the new one but has now left.....already?)
BRENT DUCKETT - Becoming The Archetype

All three of these kickers blow me away.
