Let’s Talk About Drummer for a Sec

As a drummer myself, I’d be remiss if I didn’t post the annual results of Rhythm magazine’s ten best drummers of the year.

  1. Travis Barker, Blink-182
  2. Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters
  3. John Fred Young, Black Stone Cherry
  4. Brent Fitz, Slash (A Canadian!)
  5. Tommy Clufetos, Black Sabbath
  6. Stix Zadinia, Steel Panther
  7. Matt Cameron, Pearl Jam
  8. Shannon Larkin, Godsmack
  9. Michael Miley, Rival Sons
  10. Matt Helders, Arctic Monkeys

Now let’s have a look at the person in the #2 position along with his boss, who, as I understand it, isn’t a bad drummer himself.
