Okay people, We've had our guiter list's, It's time for Kit Kickers to have a turn!http://www.vhlinks.com/vhlforum/smilies/smile.gif Here's my fav's.....
Alex Van Halen
John Bonham
Jason Bonham (underated)
Mike Portnoy (speachless)
Stewart Copeland (ever tried to play this guy's stuff???)
Tommy Lee (great showmanship, shitty person)
Rod Morgenstein
Nicko McBrain (very underated)
Mike Mangini (one of a kind)

------------------

"I don't need no stinking click"

Buddy Rich= blows anyone away who ever held a stick!

Dennis Chambers= this guy scares me shitless. You thought Portnoy had fast feet.

Stewart Copeland= best cymbal sound ever, thanks to Zildjian.

Brian Blades= Young kid from NY, un-fucking-believable time and odd time.

Bill Stewart= I saw him live and I had to have my jaw rewired cause I couldn't get it off the floor. How does he do that?!?!?

There is a world of drummers out there who have crossed that line into consumate musicians. Unfortunatley, few of them are metal drummers. If you are interested in expanding your horizons, e-me and let me turn you on to some outrageous, should-be-illegal, fucked up drummers!

I always liked Tico Torres style of playing too, Robert Sweet's drums sounded killer! I loved his kick drum sound. There was a Quiet Roit album that came out a few years a go and Frankie's drums were awesome! (sound wise) I can't remember the name of the album....??? I think it was in 95,96???
