Megadeth (not my favorite band but they still have their songs...
Pantera

Non thrash bands I listen to:

Dimmu Borgir
Children of Bodom
System of a Down
Meshuggah
Opeth
Cannibal Corpse (Im recently got into them and Im startiong to like the guitar a lot...

Yhats off the top of my head... I got other bands Ilisten once in as world

You all need to give Testament's "Low" a few good listens, as it is pretty underrated.

By the way, any news on the new Testament album?

NP: Morbid Angel - Heaving Earth

Eric is back in the studio jamming w/ Paul as Chuck creates more lyrical and melodic ideas for the songs.

So far, they're back on track with things.

Low is a great album. I still listen to it no matter how old it'll get :D

Low is kick ***, but no match for the first 5 abums before it

[QUOTE=SLATANIC-666]Wow, i didn't think that many but like you say, he sucks at it and it's not as apparent, except in 'one', as other drummers e.g. Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo.[/QUOTE]

Actually, the drummer best at using a double bass isn't even a thrash drummer. That crown belongs to Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. I don't care what Dargon says, because Portnoy is the best, hands f*cking down.

I don't like Portnoy's playing much, the guys from Dragonforce and Morbid Angel are probably better, I'd say.

The drummer of DragonForce is much better than Portnoy, I reckon.

You are so fvcking wrong. Ever heard of Virgil Donati? Thomas Lang?

refl :lol: Sacrifice has some dumb, unfounded hatred of death metal, so he doesn't know how fast the majority of death metal drummers on the the old twin kick.

Sandoval
Mounier
Corn
the Necrophagist guy
the Berzerker guy

Mithras's drummer is supposed to be immensely fast too.

Oh yeah, for Devastation, Idolatry is sounding really good, nice thick production. I also checked out their first album, however the production is really thin and the vocals are some of the worst I've ever heard. The guy doesn't even try to put in any intensity, he just talks. It's kinda sad and funny at the same time.

I wasn't stating that they were the fastest double bass drummers, I just like they're use of it compared to ulrich.

I would have probably guessed that a death metal drummer would be fastest although my knowledge of death metal is limited at best, that guy from deicide though, steve ashaim or something seems pretty fast. He might not be in the band anymore, i don't know cuz i've only got their first album.

you will all flame me for this , but i once saw a video of the slipknot drummer going crazy, and i've heard hes very good. where does he stand, double bass wise, to you all?

by the way, im not giving props to slipknot :lol:

Igor Cavalera is still my fav, that man is crazy

about Jordison:

Step 1:
Go to [url]www.blackmetalradio.com[/url]

Step 2:
Go to episode 65, song 14 or 15 (can't remember which)
The song will be "Corporal Jigsore Quandary" by The Berzerker.

Step 3:
Listen as the bass speed increases to somewhere around 1500 bpm.

Step 4:
Forget about Jordison. Forever.

For all of you who praise The Berserker's drummer, I just want to let you know that his set is heavily triggered, as he said so in an interview in Terrorizer magazine. Not that this takes away from the music, it's just I appreciate Flo and Pete's ability to do double-bass rolls that fast, with only their feet.

Dargon, you need to get on Soulseek so I can browse your files again, you had quite a DM selection.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]The drummer of DragonForce is much better than Portnoy, I reckon.[/QUOTE]

WHAT?!?!? Dude, the drummer from DragonForce plays like an ape. Take any thrash song, and compare it to Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle and The Sleeper's drum part, and Portnoy will always come out on top.

wow thats some crazy drumming!
And by the way, its track 11 :)

^i heard somewhere he can do 19 strokes with one hand in a second.... I dont really understand howe fast that is since Im not a drummer but its seems fast....

has anyone heard of this unsigned thrash band called Bistered Earth?

I have thier album its ****in' cool, if you go to thier web site you can check out a couple of songs

[url]http://www.blistered-earth.com[/url]

Blistered Earth reminds me of a cross between thrash and Iced Earth guitars, but this song "Leading The Strike", it sounds like old Kreator guitar riffage. I'm digging it :cool:

The Berzerker is like Petrucci, all he does is wank. He can play fast, doesn't make him great.

Mounier is the master of making drums fit perfectly, so he's got my vote for best drummer overall. The Dragonforce and Morbid Angel guys can double kick like ****, so they are the fastest in my book.,

Herm, lots of new stuff. I'll get busy.

They were already there. :p

Triggering does not make drumming faster, it's simply a different way of collecting the sound information made by the drums. Head to the drum forum for an explanation.

[QUOTE]^i heard somewhere he can do 19 strokes with one hand in a second.... I dont really understand howe fast that is since Im not a drummer but its seems fast....[/QUOTE]

That is 1140 strokes per minute. In comparison, the average thrash song (Angel of Death for example) has 210 snare strokes per minute. :amaze:

But teh bass drum is being played 16th notes at 210 bpm, making it 840 hits per minute.

We're talking about snares. One-handed. I'm right. :p

[QUOTE=LordDargon]We're talking about snares. One-handed. I'm right. :p[/QUOTE]

I doubt he can play that for a prolonged period of time, or even more than a few seconds. That's 16th notes at 285 with one hand, it's just not possible.

yeah. but still. He's an animal.

I just got off slsk. be back in a few minutes. go post in Death Heads.

Recent Hauls:

Iced Earth - self-titled
Testament - Souls of Black
Deathchain - Deadmeat Disciples

All are good albums :thumb: I've had the Deathchain album on mp3 for a while now, so I already knew that it was ace. I think I posted about them in here a while back.

NP: Deathchain - Unseen Evil

Huh, I just heard their stuff on BMR and thought how they sounded like a brutaler version of Torture Squad. In other words, they kick equal amounts of rear and testicle. I couldn't find anything on SLSK though. Looks like we'll have to organize a trade ;)

well, I like I said before, I dont like Death metal, but I got Death - Sound of Perseverence and its pretty good, the vocals and the lyrics is what really makes me dislike Death metal and Im not a big fan of the playing either, but this Death album is pretty cool
