Good call on Vinnie Paul. I swear he used the biggest damn sticks ever. It's like he is drumming with tree trunks.

George is a good dude. Very humble. Yes, I'm bragging that I've met him before again. I don't care.![]()
Oh yeah...Steven Drozd is probably my favorite (he does way more than drum, though).
in the vein of has come out to meet and talk to my daughter after a concert...Dave Hidalgo Jr is a pimp as well.
Ah yes, drummers.
"Musicians" whose only musical skill is the ability to count.
