Hole. Lee. Sheit.
You guys can pull some fucking ridiculous moves. Alan Cassidy of The Black Dahlia Murder: 
Jon Rice of Job for a Cowboy:
Hector "Leche" De Santiago of As Blood Runs Black:
Ken Bedene of Aborted:
And my personal favorite, even though he doesn't necessarily do anything as fancy and ridiculous compared to the other guys would be: Chris Adler of Lamb of God:
I'll stick to my four strings, thanks. |

Are the videos not showing up? I tried to make all the videos in a line, since it stacks them in some odd fucked up way, but I dont think that would cause an issue. |

I've posted this before, but this is video of Derek tracking in the studio. This is why they call him "One Take" Roddy.

Exactly. I hear so many people jone on it as "just a bunch of yelling" but try and do it...it is insanely hard to do with volume, consistently for the length of a performance or recording, and SAFELY. Sure you might be able to belt out a song, but if you can't talk for the rest of the day, let alone crank out another one, then yeah you kinda can't do it. Same thing with the lyrics. There are several bands and subgenres that have very well thought out lyrics. But yeah, the average Beatles song lyrics are soooooo much less laughable  (And I say that as a huge Beatles fan.)

I am not saying it's easy. I just think it sounds dumb as shit, and I played in a metal band in high school (6-7 years ago.) I am at the point now where I love metal for the insane musical skills in it, and I just can't listen to some kid scream his head off like job for a cowboy. It sounds ridiculous. I like my vocals more like dream theater or old nightwish, even children of Bodom I like. Screaming can work, but it's gotta be tension and release, like opeth, all that remains, KSE, BFMV, etc. |

Different strokes for different folks I guess. With the exception of Opeth (Simply because I've never listened to them) I'm not much a fan of any of them with the exception of a few songs here and there. |

I can't say metal drummers suck, they are usually the most talented member in any given metal band but metal is the musical equivalent to sticking your head under a zero turn lawn mower.

The drumming of Marshall Wieczorek from Wretched has always caught my ear pretty well.
Their new album is fucking sick. Any reason behind the tape on the bottom of the cymbals? I understand using shit to dampen the tone of drums when recording, but I've never see anything like that on cymbals

He probably just wants immediate decay instead of the cymbals rininging out a lot. I put a moongel on my ride for that reason. Wouldn't feel the need to do it on anything else. His cymbals are pretty much nonexistent in that mix IMO. |

I guess it probably helps clear up a bit of noise in the higher frequencies |

Wow, I like everything about that. Too many bands are all speed and don't seem to have a clue about balls and chunk (groove) except for a few seconds of "breakdown" per song. As for Kollias, he was a huge inspiration for me on double bass, but everything he does (in Nile at least) is extremely basic drumming just played really fast. Then there is the other extreme, players who are super technical but at the expense of any kind of punch and groove at all. This guy Wieczorek (and the band as a whole) manage to do it all really well. |

Chris Adler, while not having the flair of some of the more flamboyant drummers, really knows exactly what is needed for each song. And nobody can throw in a fill like Adler. He's one of my favorites.

And then for technical prowess, I've always found the drummers for the complex math metal bands to be mind boggling. I can't even count out what they're playing, and there they are firing on all cylinders.
Matt Garstka is a great example. Check out his work with Animals as Leaders. |

Could mean he was trained as a symphonic percusionist. Or... maybe he has studied with such notable percussion instructors as: Gary Chaffee, Gary Chester, Ed Uribe, Ed Kaspik, and John Ramsey. Or it could be what you said.
