Kerry King said that Adrian hits the drum like a fag, but at the same time, he thinks that Corey Taylor is the best singer after Tom Araya. He is so fucked up!
his drumming is very "organic"..compared to more "robotic" metal drummers such as nick barker...Nymphetamine is a great example of simple passionate drumming..!!
I preferred the stuff that Adrian did with At The Gates - that truly showcased his talent if you ask me. If you doubt it, I suggest that you look up some of the drumming on "With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness" by At The Gates - that CD is chock full of amazing drumming.
daniel and adrian.. man the two bros play in badass bands. overall i'd say that adrians drumsound and style is a bit more raw than daniels. but just as good.
average? you're out of your goddamn mind. just because he doesn't get to fancy with it doesn't mean he can't. he chooses to play somewhat simplistic for an overall better song. i've seen adrian shred on the drums and it's more than your "average" little brain can comprehend.
@REDTEARS667 well u got to listen to the Cradle Of Filth songs that he recorded, although their new drummer is way better. But u have to give Adrian some credit.
@Krig666 yeah i see what you mean!!! he is very solid! he sorta had a bit of a crack on Damnation and a day at cutting loose!! im not saying he is bad drummer! but he can be very stock and uninteresting considering how crazy other bands drummers are! I like how the new drummer puts some Rick Flair in at some choice moments!!!
@Krig666 This guy is average? Average for what? Who said that? What is average? That's some pretty stupid shit to say. The scope of drumming is much to broad to even begin defining what is 'average.' Some people obviously suck, but the guy in this video isn't one of them.
I love the sound he gets from this solo. Certainly not as complex as some of the stuff Marthus or Hellhammer come out with, but I'll give Adrian this:
well come on, who can compare with "the chosen legacy?"
its not adrian's style, from what ive noticed, he's not trying to go 290+ (though im sure he's capable of it), he's just matching up with the guitars, which is the way drums are meant to be played
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think Adrian is just like Joey Jordison. He sounds like a machine. Not always like Jordison, but most of the times. THATS WHY I THINK DANIEL IS BETTER. Daniel is the KING.
either way....at the gates is 110 times better than Arch Enemy..regardless of whose the best drummer. And Adrian was one of the biggest contribution in At The Gates
Sounds pretty nice to me... How it remains RElaxed ,at the same time so Very quick.. and it has flow ..minute 1,14 Im thinking : Oh, wait a minute, gotto repeat it " and then I like the maybe indian-like drumming from 1,35 on.. for some seconds, and another roll.. yep its metal .its very pushing forward, i wouldnt wanna call it agressive. .and it's not boring ! I repeat Not boring : )
A solo, ya know maybe some improvisation would be nice, instead of just playing along to a song... he's solid, but doesn't show anything overly impressive
Nah, its totally cool. The comment was intended for the inflammatory people that can't get over the fact that people, in fact, can feel differently on a subject.
I just wish they could deal with those differences.
And as much as I like Adrian, I will say Daniel seems a lot more creative and tasteful with his playing.
Adrians the man i definitely agree that kerry king is only living out life on past glories cause his not that great a guitarist. Long live adrian whatever he may be doing now...
Kerry King has sucked balls for so long, he thinks he's a hard guy with his big build, bald head and tats, so people fear and respect him, but really he's the fag. Adrian erlandsson is actually a talented individual and doesn't ride upon the reputation of the history of his band like kerry king does.
Remember when dave left slayer & they needed a replacement drummer? he was criticizing drummers, he said adrian hits like a fag, raymond hererra has no hands & joe nunez's mother wouldnt let him join slayer. He seemed to favor kevin talley though. He was the one who reccomended kevin talley to chimaira when andols left them.
