how do you know that?
Get out of the metal world every once in a while.
come in to the metal world some time, and check out Cryptopsy, Candiria, Dillinger Escape Plan, or Upheaval.
Spend enough time in studios and you pick up on things. I'm not saying recording the double kick that way is immoral or anything. It cleans up the recording process quite a bit and that's why they do it.
I'm also not dissing metal. I like some of it. As long as it requires some skill to play I like most genres of music. I'm just saying there are better musicians out there.

Chimaira Talley Up A New Drummer - wookubus
(1:44 PM MST 01/13/2006)
Chimaira have parted ways with their drummer Kevin Talley on amicable terms and have replaced him with with none other than original band drummer, Andols Herrick. Herrick recently commented on rejoining the band, saying:
"Being away from the band and touring for almost two years made me realize how much I missed it. Being involved in the Roadrunner 25th album and concert made me realize that this is where I want to be."
Band frontman Mark Hunter also spoke up about the reunion of sorts, saying:
"He is a totally different person, we jammed the other day and he's a monster behind the kit. There is a lot of passion and excitement in his eyes, I can really tell he is renewed."
Speaking on the split with Talley (who has since been tapped to fill in on drums for The Red Chord for the immediate future), Hunter had the following to say:
"Kevin is an amazing drummer. This decision had nothing to do with his skills and everything to do with getting someone back who has been with us since day one. Some of us have known Andols since we were in High School."
Carter Beauford (DMB) - He is technical, but at the same time very musical and full of soul. When he uses double kicks, it's just right for the song
Stu Copland - taught me the meaning of less is more, and that my heads could always be tuned a little bit higher - He got me away from trying to be a Peart clone.
Phil Collins - before his ego-exploding days, he was actually a great drummer
Bill Bruford - Yes: Just try to play his stuff-yikes!
Manu Katche- his playing on Peter Gabriel's SO is just awesome
Neil Peart - the guy that inspired me and a thousand other drummers to start playing
Bonham - nothing needs to be said.
Jeff Porcaro (Toto) taught me the importance of groove
Bassjones mentioned Johnnie Knox (Adam Again) yes-excellent! Also, don't forget Steve Hindalong of the Choir

I can't even imagine that we would even think of the same metal bands. You mentioned Lars Ulrich in reference to metal, which is questionable at best.

Yeah, that sounds like a "diss" to me. How could you know how good the skillz of metal drummers are? Again, have you heard Cryptopsy, Candiria (Process of Self-Development cd), Meshuggah (Future Breed Machine cd), Today is the Day (In the Eyes of God cd), or Dillinger Escape Plan (Calculating Infinity cd)?

Indeed. I thought I'd never heard drums before when I checked out Mastodon and Brann Dailor. You should do the same!
what's funny is that one of the drummers from today is the day went to mastodon. it might be the same one, i have yet to investigate. the guy from "in the eyes of god" runs a clinic on that album. i've actually studied.
Before forming Mastodon, he and fellow Mastodon member Bill Kelliher played on the album It's Hard to Write with a Little Hand by Lethargy, and on In the Eyes of God by Today Is the Day.
