Completely agree with including Lars Ulrich - his drumming on that record is amazing! - his other work is great as well. He gets too much undeserved criticism by people who mostly aren't even drummers themselves - speed isn't everything, in fact it's one of the least important factors in what makes a good drummer

So you mean to say one has to be a drummer to judge a drummer?

Rarely does Benante's playing stick out to me. I don't think he has a very distinct style or has improved much in the last 2 decades. He plays a steady beat and has some skill, but he doesn't impress much. If he wasn't playing in a "Big 4" band I doubt he would make many favorite lists for his outstanding drumming.

Good call on Rob Alaniz and Ted KirkPatrick! Chronically underrated!

I'd also add Ron Lipnicki (OVERKILL, HADES) as a great underrated thrash drummer who is up there.

Benante is one of the few drummers mentioned that I think could be 100% convincing playing other styles of music. He's more of a feel player and less of a human metronome.

Perhaps. However, I remember purchasing that first Soldiers of Metal 45RPM single in the early 80's and my jaw hitting the floor. That was before they were part of any "Big 4". As well, when the S.O.D. - Speak English or Die record came out, that was equally impressive. I think it's all a matter of personal preference, but Benante is certainly no slacker.

IF Vinnie Paul and Tim Yeung were Thrash Drummers, would they beat most of them famous guys?

Well as far as Complex Drumming in Thrash goes, I think Tom Hunting deserve the valedictorian honors, My jaws drop everytime I listen to TEMPO OF THE DAMNED.....But Lars? I have 3 drummer pals and they all said that the Lars style is by far the easiest to learn

I can't agree with this one. He's a good drummer, but compare Nic Ritter's work on Waking Into Nightmares to the drumming on Worlds Torn Asunder. I consider Ritter to be one of the most inventive and creative drummers in thrash for his work on that record alone.
