Best Iced Earth Drummer?Who's your vote?
Mine would be Brent Smedley. He did some good albums such as Something Wicked This Way Comes and his performance on Alive In Athens was amazing.
EDIT: I want your votes based off of what they contributed to Iced Earth. Not any other bands that they were in.

Totally for Smedley. I wanted to go for Richard Christy, because of Horror Show, but... ugh, he's turned into such a fucking weirdo.

Yeah, it's sad what happened to him. I heard he has a part in Harold & Kumar 2.

Brent Smedley

Lol, Def. Smedley....On the new album I feel its alot more interesting in the drum sections then the other albums....He sounds so tight and I like his fills...Christy is probably the better drummer though, Shaffer didn't let him do to much on HS or TGB.

I'll agree with most people here and say Smedley. I love his performance at Alive In Athens, it blows my mind away. I wish I could play the drums like that  .

it's hard to decide, cause' technically i think Christy have more skills, he's a fucking machine gun and fuck, listen Sound of Perseverance (Death) and The Fragile art of Existence (Control Denied) and he can kick major asses over there, but cause' the Alive in Athens performance of Brent and all his live performances i can say that i prefeer Brent Smedley, he have the attitude, the groove, the right tempo, all in he is OK...But i really wonder how could sound WOLF with him (if i'm not wrong, on The Coming Curse AIA version, he did the same tempo that Wolf on the chorus, Violate too, even faster on Thesallonikki bootleg, fucking AWESOME speed).
I prefeer Brent Smedley...but thinkin' a little is hard to say...even Bobby Jarzombek (not on list but actually a member that played in 1 or 2 live shows after Christy left) is on the competition, that guy is CRAZY.

it helps prevents his ear drums popping. When you apply so much pressure to your ears with ear plugs as well as constant noise at close range. alot of drummers do that most drummers keep a slack jaw where they keep the mouth open but not open like that.
Brent simply does that to be sure hes keeping his mouth open.
