Picks Damage Inc as the song to represent Metallica... so much respect gained

but it wasnt a good song to represent lars as the drums on that song arent special nor influential for this vid he should have done frayed blackened or shorstest straw

@Shallex doesnt matter even though thats cool it doesnt make him an influential there are lots more drummers who can do that and did that on the album ajfa he showed new drumming he showed cool new fills he showed that you can do much more on the kit and thats why he shouldn have chosen a song from ajfa

What megadeth song was that?

[@9Alexz]

Leandrometfan My last words

[@leandrometfan]

Thanks man

[@scottenosh4548]

Im really glad Gar Samuelson made it on the list. IMO, he is (was) one of the most underrated drummers in metal. He was way ahead of his time. Peace Sells was the first time I heard the "machine gun" effect, and it wasn't until a few years later that Sepultura's drummer incorporated it (a bit sloppy too).......then along comes this dude named Vinnie Paul.....that guy took "machine gunning" up a few notches. But it was Gar that started it.

[@therealeikichionizuka]

Thanks for putting Bill Ward on the list. He’s by far one of the greatest drummers ever, and was at the very start of heavy metal.

[@metfan4l]

Fuck yeah, nice to finally see some love for Raymond Herrera. By far one of *the* most innovative metal drummers of the 90s. Great video, dude!

[@cskotnicki]

The part that made me go fuck yeah !

[@asddsdsssd]

Can't tell you how nice it is to see Gar Samuelson get some love. Dude is a monster behind the kit but was so underrated.

[@ihateminecraft932]

ive always liked samuelson more than menza and i was genuinely surprised and happy to see him instead of menza. dont get me wrong, i love menza and his work, but there is something about samuelson's drums that feel they have so much more groove and feel. listening to a samuelson drum track is like listening to the drum version of master of puppets guitar. there are so many notes in between its crazy

[@xgamerx360x]

Pete Sandoval was also in Terrorizer, a Grindcore band from California who broke up in the late 80s, I believe. His performance on their record "World Downfall" is amazing. That album has some of my favorite drums of any metal albums

I was really really really REALLY happy that you brought up Sean Reinert in the video! It's pretty funny when I talk to people about Death and mention Sean Reinert WHO was in Death on the album called" Human". Some people only knew Gene Hoglan, Richard Christy, Bill Andrews, and Chris Reifert. But can you mention Rick Colaluca from WatchTower, he wasn't that big but he sure did influenced Fates warning, Dream Theater, Cynic, Atheist, and Death before and a lot of people don't know that.

[@TTGPredatorOG]

How about Inferno from Behemoth and Dominator from Dark Funeral for part 3?

[@jimlenart]

I always thought Pete Sandoval's signature move was his 4th note snare + 16th note ride + 32 note double bass feel like at the beginning of Rapture, Lion's Den, Sworn to the Black, Dawn of the Angry, etc. Of course always a different accent here or there but that super fast double bass with slower snare behind it was so ever present on many of the classics. Awesome video regardless!
