what are some of your favorite up and coming drummers? or even favorite drummers overall ? great ones that you have learned from??


include why as well

Yohann Schmitt of France. This kid's going to be the next generation Vinnie.

Also, Andrew Fisenden of Australia. Brilliant young funk drummer, borrows heavily from 70s/80s funk-fusion while keeping things simple with a ?uestlove type set-up. Steve Smith played with him during a festival and said, to the effect, "He's already a monster."

Has anyone heard Nick Pierce who played with The Faceless? This guy is phenominal. I saw him last year on tour with them. He plays insane speed and technicality using traditional grip. Last I heard he was going to try out for The Black Dahlia Murder. I'm sure he will go far. Check him out on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOYT3TjwRkU

As far as up and coming, it would be hard to say. I don't know any bands that are that new. Now as far as any drummer I've learned from, I would have to say Thomas Lang. He is, in my opinion, the most inovative, most creative and most technical drummer drummer around. Basically, I think he's a god at what he does.
