That's exactly why I said that he sounds like Collins Ermm

Brann's drumming seems more involved, although Lopez does write some dope beats yo.

Never been that impressed with Lopez, where as Dailor is my favourite drummer.

Brann Dailor is my favourite metal drummer but Mario Lopez have one song which makes him a legend among metal drummers, the best metal outro I have ever heard, make every breakdowns after it seem poinltess and sloppy
 
im ofcourse talking about Deliverence the sickest drum song i know of by Opeth

Super tough poll! I have to vote for Dailor. Lopez of course was a fantastic drummer and a perfect fit for Opeth's music but Dailor just has this raw energy and tendency towards improvisation that makes Mastodon's music really dynamic and powerful. Lopez plays a more traditional style and really sticks to the music whereas Dailor does his own thing to a degree. At least that's how I interpret the difference between their styles. That said, I like Opeth overall better than Mastodon.

I remember seeing Mastodon around the time their second album was released, but never took the time to listen to them up until that point. One thing was for sure, Brann and his bombastic playing immediately stuck out. Now I've seen Lopez about three times and he never made close to that kind of impression. So I guess that sums it up for me.

Damn that's tough. Both are 2 of my absolute favorites.

Really tough to choose because the styles are pretty different (though Dailor's has mellowed out a bit) so I'm going with the one I just like more: Martin Lopez. Never got tons of praise (like maybe....Carey or Portnoy) and I think it's a crime he's so unheralded.

Dailor was a huge influence me on though, I still like to employ a very fill heavy drumming that stems directly from him.

Lopez for me. Both are superb drummers, but Lopez sounds much cleaner both in tone and technical fluidity.
