I saw them at the sounds of them underground tour. I'll have to disagree completly with you. He was very cocky with his triggers, and was completly off time in various parts.

Lord Marco of Braindrill and Vornagar is one of my favorites at my moment, even if he does take gravity blasts a little overboard.

Maybe he had a bad day? Having to set up in less than 10 minutes doesn't help, either. I heard they had a difficult time getting all of their shit together at SOTU. His triggers weren't overly obnoxious when I saw them, but they were tolerable and I am by no means a fan of triggers but if done right, they're ok to me

Dave Mackintosh (Dragonforce) - plays hard and fast
Mike Smith - dont really like Suffocation but his work on Dawn Of A Golden Age was sweet
Thomas Haake (Meshuggah) - pretty darn technical with his feet
Danny Carey (Tool) - would love to see what he does in another band
Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden) - yeah just look at the band he plays in lol
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) - one of the most influencial drummers out there
Trav Dempsey - The Living End's old drummer; dont think he ever rehearsed much and at live gigs he's just ad lib half the time
Umm the last 2 Iced Earth drummers cos they can double kick like madmen
Paul Bostaph - simply cos of his drumming on the Slayer song "disciple"
