Your favorite drummer is?

[Stinsok]

Bill Bruford, followed closely by Billy Cobham. They are both very different, but they are both very good!

As a kid, I saw Billy Cobham in a drum clinic. Awesome...

 

[Yngwie 4String]

Matin Maurais (IS HE A MORTAL MAN!?!?)

Joey Jordison youve all heard about

Neil Peart is a little bit to technical for my tastes but he can probalbly play whatever you want. I read somewhere he can keep 4 times at once.
