Lars is not AWOL, I left him off purposely!
He really is not a bad drummer, but even in his prime I never saw what was so great. Lars got the job done, which is fine. Never blew me away on any song. I am very open minded and not attacking, just curious why you think he's criminally underrated? Lombardo IMHO was actually not that great until the last few Slayer albums! He's on the list though as the father of thrash drumming. He's Lars but amped up in every aspect, his out right speed and intensity, (and endurance) was mind boggling and his double bass blew everyone else out of the water then. |

Out of those, Dave Lombardo, followed closely by Bill Ward.
AWOL;
1. Raymond Frigon (Legend).
2. Lars Ulrich - I guess he shot himself in the foot really, since 1991, but he's criminally underrated by many kids today...
3. Cozy Powell.
4. Rob (Wacko) Hunter (Raven).
4. Nick Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir).

Of course, feel free to mention drummers not included.
Again, there are just too many and I no doubt missed plenty. If someone held a gun to my head, I'd say Haake. Though with so many different styles out there, I can only really narrow it to a top 3, or 5  |

I jumped on the popular bandwagon and went with Mike Portnoy. It's such a shame he left DT.

My top 5 personal favorites are Haake, Adler, Lopez, Rullo and Carey.
Dolmayan got me into drumming, (and has a bit more skill then I realized back then!) and of course Ward's drumming can not be understated. And for the record...Lars is decent. Get's the job done. Joey is all speed, but not much else. All the drummers listed I do like and have had some impressive performances. As a drummer, I can go on and on... |

Let me start with this:
I am sure I missed plenty of good ones. I did when I made this poll on PA. This is why there is the other option, and please specify so they can get their due! Because really...this list can be like 200 people long This was a list I created off the top of my head originally (though this time I added/dropped a few) and consists of some of my personal favorites. Also tried to get some diversity in there. So, have at it! Honorable mention to: Gar Samuelson, Thomas Lang, Tomas Corn (listen to Elvenefris by Lykathea Aflame for a real treat!) Pete Sandoval, Charlie Benante. No Lars or Joey Jordinson  |
