soradubboi 0 Posted August 11, 2010 So after seeing the greatest drummers in the last 25 years list I was shocked to see not one asian drummer not just from japan, but from the entire continent of asia so tainted world members, who do you think is the best? this can be any drummer, asian or not please write down the drummers name and band, or specify if other As for me, I have to put it down to Fact's Eiji or Jimmy Chamberlin from The Smashing Pumpkins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronluna 17 Posted August 11, 2010 probably Tetsu Kikuchi of D'ERLANGER and Shinya Yamada of LUNA SEA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tosinn 3 Posted August 11, 2010 DEATHGAZE's Naoki is my favorite. But I don't think he's the best ever or anything like that. I also think that Tsukasa (D'espairsRay), Yuki (Versailles), and Sujk (DELUHI) are really good. Outside J-Rock, I think that Joey Jordison (Slipknot) is one of the best.

Flame-X 441 Posted August 11, 2010 Neil Peart from Rush Shinya from Dir en grey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest o hai itz will Posted August 11, 2010 Deciding who's the best is tough, but I would have to go with either: Buddy Rich (jazz drummer, not part of a band) or John Bonham of Led Zeppelin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soradubboi 0 Posted August 11, 2010 Funny, Jordison was voted the best in the past 25 years I don't rate him though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted August 11, 2010 Trym Torson ( Emperor ) Shinya ( Dir en grey, viciously underrated ) Mario Duplantier ( Gojira ) Hiroki ( D ) Last but not least, Pete Sandoval ( Morbid angel ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaleidoscope 195 Posted August 11, 2010 Yoshiki (I know lots of people will disagree, but i just love his style of drumming) Tsukasa (D'espairsRay; not the best drummer out there, but he gets alot of groove into the songs) Outside of Japan: Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) The guy of Tool, don't remember his name. These are the only ones which come to my mind now, there are a lot more drummers i like, but i'm kind of tired right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jml139 0 Posted August 11, 2010 @Kaleidoscope Totally agree about Yoshiki as well.. He still pretty damn amazing for needing to play with a neck brace and having all that wrist pain.. Others I'd add to the list are Sujk (DELUHI), though I see he's already been mentioned a couple times. Kawauchi Tooru (12012) is another pretty good one and he's improving with every release. Nero (Merry) is also a favorite. And one of my top ones is Kenzo (soon to be ex. ayabie). I find his drumming to be pretty f---ing amazing. Always the highlight for me when I listen to ayabie songs, though with their latest few releases, not as much. He's also got an amazing set up for his drums.

Shizumi 1 Posted August 11, 2010 From Japanese drummers I think some of the most skilled ones are Yuki (Versailles), Shinya (Diru), Eiji (FACT), Junichi (Galneryus and SPINALCORD), Hiroki (D) and Sujk (DELUHI). Outside of Japan for example the Meshuggah dude (don't remember his name, lol), Horgh from (Immortal, Hypocrisy) and Mario Duplantier (Gojira). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tokage 5930 Posted August 11, 2010 quite like that drummer guy from mouse on the keys, although he isn't any prodigy or anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakteeri 7 Posted August 11, 2010 Nero from Merry is probably the best japanese drummer I've heard. Joe (it's Joe right?) from hide's solo works has some pretty sweet drumlines too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doaseternity6 93 Posted August 11, 2010 I almost forgot but I also think Hasegawa Masanori from Avengers in sci-fi is pretty friggin' sick on those things. I'd put him on the list fo sho'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
