They don't sound that way to me. If you hear an actual CD it's bitchin bro lol
Well like everything else in death metal, those drums are probably very fake. Or at least edited and doctored up so heavily that they might as well be fake.

I didn't say they can't play. But have you ever tried an acoustic recording of drums played that fast? It doesn't work out that well without a lot of help. They're simply not hitting the drums hard enough to get a big powerful capture in the mics, and the kicks are a mess. Yeah, they're really played, they play well, and then they're edited, sampled, tweaked, quantized, and God only knows what else to sound like a typewriter. Live, those guys barely move a stick at all. It's all triggers dude. They're playing, playing very fast, but you're not hearing what's actually happening.
You should check out a live death metal show if you ever get a chance lol, but I know what you mean about the processing on the drums.
I see that horrible crap all the time. The good bands use drum triggers, the bad bands just sound like shit.
You haven't seen any good bands then
Is there such thing as a good death metal band?
It's all a matter of taste. If you don't care for apples would there be any that taste good? Nope! lol
Right, and death metal is one nasty rotten apple.
It's a rotting, decaying apple filled with maggots and worms
Punk use to have that same underground vibe back in the day. The punk rockers grew up, got day jobs and now they only wanna hear their grandpa music. Luckily it's come out now with classic acts such as Blink 182, Green Day, Fall Out Boy, sum 41, Good Charlotte etc. LOL! Oh My Mother Funking Gawd, what the hell happened to punk rock?! That's down right shameful.
Lol. I don't disagree. Those bands suck. That doesn't change the fact that death metal is shit.
One of the best drummers of all time right here. Neil Peart who?
You're fucking kidding right? Fast yes, good no. Seriously dude, come on. Just listen to the slower intro parts. His simple basic beginner-level single stroke fills speed up and slow down and his double kick timing is garbage. His fills are loose and inconsistent. The kick-snare shuffles are a mess. Seriously, I'm not a metal drummer at all, but I can clearly pick up on how sloppy his mid tempo is. It is on that recording anyway. That's terrible. His fast stuff is just a mash of noise. The upbeat ending section is significantly better than the intro and megaspeed parts, but it's still pretty loose in spots. I'd expect better. That you think he's "one of the best drummers of all time" makes me really question your objectivity.
Well buddy, I'm really not trying to poke at you here, I like you dude, you know that, but if that sloppy metal track is good and Neil Peart is bad, then you don't understand drumming. That's not me hearing what I want to hear. That's me hearing what's actually there. I like tons of loose and sloppy stuff. I'm not touting any of that as the greatest players ever though. I'm not a Rush fan. I can tolerate them in small doses. I'm not even a Neil Peart fan. I can't relate to him. So don't think I'm trying to defend them or him or anything. But if you can't tell that Neil Peart is killing it on his drum kit, then again, you don't really know drumming.
