The Greatest Black Metal Drummers

[zargathis]

Trym, Frost, Hellhammer, Inferno, Vyl

[shredfactor7]

Nick barker shoukd be there in my opinion. I know he's not hardcore black metal like these guys buy he does have cradle and dimmu under his belt and his albums with dimmu displayed his insane drumming

[sayanator]

Frost!!!



[xxxblucoxxx]

hypocrisy is death metal XD

[asa76mx]

YES SURE ................., EATING BLOOD AND FLESH OF CHILDRENS , DRUGS , DEMONS , MENTAL CONTROL , BRAIN TECNOLOGY

[thrash44]

nice. Vyl from Keep of Kalessin anyone? anything from Agnen is just inhuman

[popytherev]

WHAT ABOUT INFERNO!!!

[leadpipeninja111]

@popytherev Agreed! Inferno (Behemoth) should most definitely be on this list! That guy has a separate nervous system for each of his appendages, I swear!

[theillusionist6677]

frost ftw

[opethinchains]

did ya know hellhammer is in an immortal video? idk if he actually played for em or not tho. but, either way, ya shoulda did him some justice with a dimmu song or two.

[arrasar]

I would trade places between the last two, since No2 is obviously No1

[Corrosive1]

Oh, must say Matte Modin from Dark Funeral would also have been excellent to this group. And yes, Inferno. But you can't fit em all

[Corrosive1]

Good selection, I would have chosen exactly all the same

[OneSpudd]

no inferno, im sad

[DjN1te]

You forgot all about Daray; what a shame.

[Aegis1349]

What a shitty choice of songs you have selected for Hellhammer. You should have put Buried By Time And Dust or Crystallized Pain in Deconstruction or The Chosen Legacy.

Oh yeah, Stormblast from Infernal War wipes the floor with all of them. :)

[SlayerRandal]

@Aegis1349 Well now when I'm looking on that video I must admit that some song could be chosen better. Buried By Time And Dust is great but check the 1349 version with Frost =)

And yeah Stormblast is also beast.

Hails

[fgm1988]

NICK BARKER!?!?!?!

[pilipekka]

Video is probably missing a part from the start since Fenriz isnt there.

[mitsos97metalhead]

where the fuck is Fenriz?

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@mitsos97metalhead Exactly, he is my favourite drummer

[Qretan]

For me Trym Torson is the best, but it is my opinion

[kumor667]

IMAO Trym should be nr I

[AVH5000ultimate]

Black metal is bitch...death FTW!

[odysseasX]

@AVH5000ultimate kill yourself

[AVH5000ultimate]

@odysseasX Suck your own dick..

[BishoNoTeresa]

@AVH5000ultimate

no solutions for your life.just suicide

[DKMoonwalker]

black metal druming is basically very easy beats played at insane speeds... its awesome <3

[Drummerdrok666]

@DKMoonwalker No! not at all

[DKMoonwalker]

@Drummerdrok666 90% of this video is d-beats played fast xD

[Drummerdrok666]

@DKMoonwalker Do not think that this 10 minutes long vid represents all Black Metal

[DKMoonwalker]

@Drummerdrok666 Well, since it's called greatest, it should be what you think represents black metal drumming? But I never said anything bad about it, speed is very important when it comes to how skilled a drummer is :)

[ksekolo8reutis]

i think you missed Dominator...

[NichtResidentEvil]

Hellhammer is the best.

[markolml]

there's no one like inferno!

[shadowstrike11]

Inferno - Behemoth, imo (plz dont that he suck(Wars about whos better are fucking annoying)

[MayhemFan666]

You guys gotta listen to Incubus of Inquisition,dudes blast beats and fills are impressive..

[AntichristianDemonaz]

I miss so much Grim

[AntichristianDemonaz]

00:43 that was demonaz

[nexusg5]

A very nice list...but Trym at number 3? I'd have to disagree there. Man's chops are just too good, I feel.

[nexusg5]

@DarthFilja I think this was more showing off his ability in both Immortal AND Hypocrisy.

[RexSDMF]

I do not like vocals in Black Metal, but the fucking music its sooo fucking amazing its unbelievable.

Soo much skill and talent!

[jambi715]

fuckin great intro song

[shinobi277]

you forgot andrew kobro of carpathian forest

[nocte666]

i would have put Vegard "Vyl" Larsen .. i always loved this drummer since the beggining... i think he's better than Frost btw

[TheNecola]

How came Nickolas Barker was not mentioned? imho, he deserves to be placed in top-5

[JohnDiabol]

@TheNecola There are probably 50 black metal drummers who deserves to be in the top 5. But you've got to make the difficult decisions and cut some one out.

[moropasi]

you didn't mention that Hellhammer is a member of Winds... best band he has ever been in IMO. That music proves that he is the most diverse drummer from this group, without forgetting that he has played in an orchestra.

[acid3z]

frost is the best niggas

[odiumhumanigeneri616]

Frost is good but in all honesty Hellhammer is better.

[odysseasX]

@odiumhumanigeneri616 Frost is not just good. And to correct your comment, you should say '' I like Frost, but in all honesty, Hellhammer is better in my opinion.''. Because by saying ''this drummer is better than the other'' like little kids, is pointless.

[simonmetaleroo]

@odiumhumanigeneri616 In all honesty, Nick Barker is better than this drummers...

[odiumhumanigeneri616]

@simonmetaleroo Hes decent, but hes from cradle of posers. Ive seen farm better than them.

[ReignInB1ood]

@odiumhumanigeneri616 it's close

[nekromachine]

@odiumhumanigeneri616 agreed Frost is great at pure stamina hyperblasting but Hellhammer plays each track differently. Frost is the ideal bm session drummer as Satyr has conditioned him to do what he is told. Hellhammer is no one's bitch. For variety Trym i would pick and Horgh also (plus best sense of humour). Really though some joking aside they are all great at what they do and its all band/individual/track/album/co­ntext dependant which gives each (all the good musicians) thier own signature

[odiumhumanigeneri616]

@nekromachine well said

[sayanator]

@nekromachine Frost plays different depending on what the bands want him to play. Check his drumming in Reclaim and compare it to rebel extravaganza and the age of nero or even demonoir. fairly different styles for each id say.

[TheMetalReaper7]

Two thumbs up......way up! Great selection! For a moment I thought the guy who carefully picked the 5 drummers forgot about Frost and Hellhammer, but he didn't. Really nicely done!!

[RowdyDebacle]

FROST = #1

[Practice9Perfection]

hahaha "Erik, may you rape the angels"... Great after death wish!

[BloodNazgul]

man... try listen also The God Supreme of Funeral Mist :)

[kfz]

good list, but for me munruthel should be up in that list. he plays with so much passion it explodes out on the music

[TheOnlyMasterDooM]

nice compilation :)

[salgood88]

Hell no man, Faust is the best black metal drummer

[belphegor06]

GREAT NUMBER ONE PICK!!! FROST IS THE GREATEST!!

[belphegor06]

In my opinion, no drummer is better than frost, he is black metal in every way..

[ottawadrummer]

The number one spot is really debatable and there was a few missed I believe like Matte Modin from Dark Funeral for example, but I enjoyed the list nonetheless. Very good drummers and bands. It's good to see a list that doesn't have the same old (inferno for instance), there's plenty of other great black/death drummers that deserve credit!

[ottawadrummer]

The number one spot is really debatable but I enjoyed the list nonetheless. Very good drummers and bands dude.

[TheAtazoth]

Frost deserves IT he is the best Dark Angel \m/

[Muddrum666]

Frost deserves that number one spot!

[NecroLust1349]

@SlayerRandall Can you name me the songs played?:) I can only place 1349's "I Am Abomination" and some in Mayhem's De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas. Nice tribute to Grim, and it's cool how you appreciate Frost. I think he's the best also.

[BlackGuitar265]

Hellhammer From Mayhem is the best

[novyaudiofil]

Nice work, but Hellhammer and Trym are much better than Frost
