I'm no drummer but I am always amazed and the consistent fast and accurate drumming of the Akercocke drummer. When you see them live he is like a machine for 60 minutes. I don't think I've ever heard him miss a beat. Really impressive. He does drum to a click track on headphones but I don't think there is any shame in that. A lot of the technical drummers are doing that at the moment.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hw903mFTkcE this one's pretty crazy too.

i'd say definitely..."Chris Adler"...that man is a legend...
u may try listening to"sublte arts of murder n persuasion" live...u'll know what im talkin about!

I'm not really mentioning songs here, but;

Check out the live clips of Wolves In The Throne Room on YouTube. The drumming is superb.
The drummer from Divine Heresy is also superb. Again, check out you tube for some studio/rehearsal footage.
Anything by Stampin' Ground usually features some absolutely psycho drummoves.
Also, Spastic Ink. They're brothers, both incredibly gifted. The guitarist always goes a little too abstract for me, but the drummer is always on perfect form.

To me Rapture-Morbid Angel and Cast Down The Heretic-Nile are two punishing songs with killing rhythm. Suffocation have also perfect drumming but I can't find something to suggest right now...

Tim Yeung (Divine Heresy, ex-Hate Eternal) is RIDICULOUS. they dont call him "The Missle" for nothin.

In the song Decimated by Krisiun. there's a part with maybe 3/4 into it with horridly fast drumming.

Rainbow's "Stargazer" and "A Light in the Black" require some insane drumming. Even the almighty Cozy Powell was completely exhausted after playing those 2 in row.

I'd propose 'capillarian crest' or 'aqua dementia' of Mastodon, where Brann Dailor doesn't really drum the fastest nor has the heaviest double bass or something like that, but the rhythmchanges at this tempo are impressive and its just...um, insane!

Next on my list of insane drummers is Mr. Haake from Meshuggah - 'bleed' is a quite nice example from the current album, 'combustion' is also a powertrip.
