Drums

[Ducky]

Like the riffs thread, but for drums. Fills, licks, intros, whatever, let's be having them 

I think Pierce Williams of Ænigmatum is one of the best drummers to emerge in recent years. Was pretty hyped to see he had joined Skeletal Remains too.

Only discovered these lads recently, the lad on drums (Theo Gendron) is a beast; can blast his brains out, has some of the fastest and tightest footwork I've ever heard, and can also do creative and cool fills.

Reinert. There is drumming before Human and drumming after Human and they are different things. Every bit of the footage of the guy is a lesson. I realise you're looking for the full songs but, since there's footage, some stuff I always dug.

Flattening of Emotions, the way he switches to triplets on the bass drums near the end of each solo

He played the 1 with his left foot when playing double kick which allowed him to do stuff with the hi-hat while playing double bass, first heard here

And then taken to ridiculous levels here

I love the bass drumming on this. He could have just hammered all the way through it like mosts mongos but it's a cool pattern and really has impact when he uses it. Ventor is deadly, both rough as fuck early Ventor and his later polished self.

I love this one from Gar Samuelson. His transition from such brilliant swing to how he brings in the double kick always impresses me.

[Maggot Colony]

I remember being captivated by the drumming on this when I saw the music video on Headbanger's Ball. Sandoval is a fucking beast.

Neurosis- Belief. I've always loved this drum beat. Simple, clever and perfect.

Skepticism- Pouring.  This could also go in the riffs thread. Unreal riff,  pure power and epicness and elevated even higher by the inclusion of double kicks.

Modern drumming ability has overshone it a little but, back in the day, the bass drum bit was the most amazing fucking thing ever

I don't think modern technical drumming outshines peak Lombardo. Ben listening to South of Heaven a bit recently for the first time in decades and his playing is spectacular. It's clean, super heavy and full of character. The production is pristine too. 

[The Wretch]

I'd rather watch Lombardo beat seven shades of shit out of his kit than pretty much any modern drummer. His approach, pushing it right to the edge of chaos while still keeping things ticking along steadily, that sense of unpredictability and intensity, and a momentum and energy that you just don't get with more straight precision type players (especially now with live clicks and triggers being so prevalent) really gave Slayer an edge that, for all of his ability, they never had with Bostaph.

Dave has the perfect balance of technical ability and the just-fucking-go-for-it punk attitude, which is surely the essence of thrash musicianship.

And like everything on Reign In Blood, his drum parts are so fucking memorable.

[Eoin McLove]

The modern tech dudes sitting there with headphones on, almost entirely still while they do incredible things behind the kit... it jars. I want to see a drummer fucking kill it. Lombardo was a beast. Even watching Lars, despite his limitations as a technician, is a hundred times more entertaining than watching a YouTube shredder.
