5.best drummer ever, hmmmm? good question! There are so many great drummers (Danny Carey,Chad Smith,Dave Grohl,Neal Peart,Moose {BFMV}, The Rev,Mike Portnoy{♡me some A7X}, John Dolmayan {there’s just something about SOAD that gets me going}, Vinnie Paul{♡♡♡Pantera} to name just a few) it’s hard to choose just one! but since I have to pick I am going to have to go with The Deftones’ Abe Cunningham for always staying true to himself, the band and to the music. not to mention I’ve always had a little bit of a crush on that handsome fella!
