Here's a compilation of the most defining metal moments in the last 20 years. Check out the drummers who made them happen and how to play them.
With his rail-thin frame, gaunt features, and shoulder-length hair, Dirk Verbeuren looked like a hungry fan boy roaming the isles of the 2010 Winter NAMM convention. He was there in part to light up the ToonTrack booth with a virtuosic demonstration of the beat library he created for the company’s MetalFoundry software. Watching Verbeuren wailing on that e-kit, you would have sworn he was drawing virtual blood from the machine.
DRUM! interviews four of the most brutal drummers on the metal scene in the middle of a six-week winter tour to find out what makes them tick.
