Thanks for the ping! My favorite is the often overlooked Mike Derosier, original drummer for Heart. The guy can lay down a groove and really finesse the hi-hats. I'm a huge fan and admirer. I prefer groove players, like Derosier and Bonham, to the busy and/or technical guys like Peart and Moon.

Bun E. really knows his stuff. He's a huge collector and a down-to-earth guy. Ludwig Drums is featuring one of his snare drums each month. I'll be seeing him with Heart and Journey this summer, too!
