Drummer Inspiration: Who made you want to play drums?

I would have to say that Nicko McBrain from Iron Maiden was probably my biggest influence into the rock scene. From there, I went to Jaska from Children of Bodom to Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater and finally to Blake Richardson from Between the Buried and Me. Those being my biggest influences of course, I could name many more but I think those drummers appear most in my style.

Which Drummers got you started?

I Would have to say that Joey Jordison was my biggest influence to start playing. from there i went to Dave Weckl, to Jaska Raatikinen as well. now my influences are Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal), Hellhammer (Dimmu Borgir), and Chris Adler(Lamb Of God). i really like lamb of god but i havent found myself listening to them that much lately. but i still think Chris Adler is amazing. Hellhammer is the biggest influence on me!!

Phil Collins all the way, ever since seeing Genesis live.
