The other day me and friends where debating which metal genre is the hardest to play, IMO Progressive is Technicaly the most difficult while Doom metal is ussually easy to play, so i would like to know your opinion, and correct me if i'm wrong!!

And although people always seme to think that fast drumming is hard it is actually harder to drum extremely slow (like one beat every 6 seconds) and keep in time with the rest of the musicians.

bassically No. fast drumming needs exercize and also rhythm. slow drumming need more rhythm. it is not difficult.

also to be on topic, the difficult in music IMO generally is to write it, not to play it. playing music needs talent and exercize (50-50) when writing good music needs mainly talent...



I think exercise is much more important than talent when playing

The question is a no-brainer. Difficulty pretty much stems from speed so Doom Metal would be at one end of the scale with Technical Death at the other.

Wel, you said it was 50-50. I think it´s more of 80-90% exercise when playing, and 80-90% talent when writing, but you (usually) need some exercise even there.

I would say that prog-metal style Dream Theater is the hardest genre to handle, those crazy changing tempos can drive musician's mind.
