Have seen Metallica several times since Damage Justice tour in ´88 and every time he have messed up songs like One or For whom the Bell tolls completely. He has still a lot to learn from REAL drummers.

Not only that, but Burr was the one who played on “Number of The Beast”, not Nicko. #2: Danny Carey not in the top 3 #1: Lars Ulrich in the top 3

Are you actually serious? Danny Carey is only number 8?! I might have my Tool fan blinders on but Carey is one of the greatest and most intricate drummers ever. He can master some of the most difficult pieces of music. Try playing in some of those time signatures he does. Listen to Ticks and Leeches if you want to hear the sheer talent he has. I'm not saying the other drummers don't belong on the list, but 8 is WAAAY too low for someone of Danny Carey's caliber.

I agree, Danny Carey's beats are some of the most intricate and complicated in metal. I guess if WatchMojo made a top 10 list of the most SKILLED or CREATIVE drummers in addition to this one (which seems like a list of the most INFLUENTIAL drummers), Carey would top the list no question.
Please some one give me the list of all drummers included in this video and which one do you think is best...
Thanks for including Rick " Thunder God" Allen on the list!!!! But why not Tommy Lee,Charlie Benate,and Jason Bonham.
Lars shouldn't even be in a top 100...fail! slayer footage from the jimmy kimmel show? Can't find a worse crowd than that.

He sucks now, I know that. Even some schoolband drummer probably better than him. But, he was a beast back in 80's-90's. Plus, he's the drummer of one of the biggest, most influential and most succesful metal band ever, and a lot of drummers considered him as ther influenced, so IMHO he deserved to be in the list, even probably #3 a bit too high for him..

His big achievment is forming the band. Even then they wanted to kick him out. My worst memory of him is on the flight 666 dvd from iron maiden. He tells Nico McBrain he should get smaller drums so the audience can see him better. But i get what he achieved with the band and is a big part of it. The real problem here are all those 10 best-something-lists, made from people who don't have a clue about the topic.

I would say Rick Allen deserves more than an Honorable Mention considering he had to get over having only ONE ARM!

My guys did not research. The first clips of Iron Maiden (Run to the hills) showed Clive Burr not Nicko McBrain. They also put the title 'Run to the hills' when he was playing a smaller kit, it was actually the 'Trooper'
Anyone notice on Iron Maiden where it said Run to the Hills the last time but they're playing the intro/main riff/outro to The Trooper?

***** *Hard Rock and Heavy metal drummers*. Rush is considered Classic or Progressive rock, depending who you are talking to. They made a point of saying the purposely left out classic rock bands. When I first saw RUSH in the late 70's they were seen as a hard rock band but that faded pretty quick, RUSH didn't like the label either.
Since when was Mike Portnoy ever looking like Mike Mangini? Yeah I don't think so

Larz at number 3 😂😂. I was feeling it coming actually. There are very few people out there that can discern talent and high technique vs banging away I don’t agree with your list and the positioning. Drumming you want to hear dynamics soft and loud not all loud, you want to see and hear doubles , flams , mixed sticking , being used to give the music more Color and flare. You want an drummer that can hold a series of solid ostenatos and have independence to express and comp. There are few out there at possess all these. But one must listen to a wide range of music and hear the differences

It's funny that they picked Nicko McBrain at 4 then show the "Run To The Hills" video which featured Clive Burr, who played on the album.
Danny Carey is hands down top 3 and should be first in my opinion. His tight timing, his unusual sense of tempo change, and his overall technical ability are far better than Lars. #8 is an insult.

Besides they show Mangini instead of Portnoy. Anyone with a camera can be in the media these days. Sheesh.
