What makes someone become the best metal drummer ?

You could argue the other,

but in my opinion, is that those metal drummers doing the right things for the song, and that is what makes them great.

In general, you will look at some things came: solid technical fundamentals, restraint, and creativity of these best drummer more than anything else.

Best metal drummer not only play as fast as possible, as often as possible (blast beats, double bass, or both at once).

And when the "human metronome" style drums combined with generic sterile, too-triggered drum sound.

The result is very tepid, a non-stop background noise, boring monotonous rumbling riffs.
