Niel 'fuckin' pert
John Bonham
(allright, call me stupid and crazy(but if I could pick any current drummer to have)) Steve Jocz


~especially listen to around 1:30~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpe2k...eature=related
~ simple stupid backbeat ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuuJj...eature=related

listen to the snare(that's the tits to me)

I also like that Paul Cook
Antony Lant
Gil Moore
Charlie Benante

and this list could go on .......
To me the exploitation of the back beat with the post NWOBHM/crossover american (thrash)/hardcore with an absolute necessity is true command of the snare. When I'm playing I listen to the snare more than anything else(P.S. ~ more fukkin cowbell)

One more shout out ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zytrNdgVPDM ~ Fukkin Byron
