i watch alot of vids like this on youtube. everyone seems to have theyre own opinion on whos the best or whatever, i dont hink it really matters.

this guy is a fucking world class godlike drummer.

there may be others as good. and there my be those who can play better. Who Cares? im sick of assholes who tear artists down, because at the end of the day thats all these guys are, Kolias,Hoglan,Sandoval,Lombard­o. music is art

some art is more primitive, some art is not so primitive.

@killu626 This is Punjabi192, my account is not working. Anyway. I can play metallica easily, but i dont enjoy it. I can play some Devourment and Carcass songs easily, and i love it. I also love to play lots of Grind and Thrash. The only problem is that these songs are realtively easy. i want to get into more complicated stuff, with crazy fills, whats the best way to practice?

[killu626]

@Punjabi192, if i were you, i'd stick with easy stuff like metallica or something. learn that then go up from there. if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

There isnt any drummer thats the best. There are just a few that each one of their own has something different to give.
