    Hear hear. Here's one that's probably left-field for some of you guys. Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode. When he joined, he not only helped to steer them in a new direction sonically as a keyboardist, he was hands on with production and arranging, and by the time they did "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" he not only put down live drum tracks as well as other instruments, on the live tour he was doubling going from keyboard to drum kit and back, depending on the song. Such a great musician.

    I think my inspiration would have to be Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold.

    I live in north-west New Jersey (the Lake Hopatcong area). I'm fortunate in that I live five minutes away from an old roadhouse called the Stanhope House. They have an open blues jam on Tuesday nights (no cover).

    There is a drummer in the house band by the name of George Mickel. There may be five people in the room or a hundred. He always plays with flair. He can lay it down with either power or finesse.

    It's always a joy to watch him play.

    Kind of a two edged sword for being inspired.

    There are people out there that you know you will never be as good as(Buddy Rich) so you become discouraged or others that after watching them play (Narada Michael Walden) make you want to play your butt off.

    Been there,done that.

    That would be Joey "Jaws" Chestnut and Miko Sudo, 110 lbs. of empty belly. It's so gross but I have to watch.

    My biggest inspiration when growing up was my dad's drummer named Dale.
    Just a steady rock/polka/waltz drummer. Nothing special.

    But my dad would take me with to his gigs and I'd sit back stage and watch his drummer play all night. When I got home the next day I'd spend all day trying to do what I saw. And of course during the gigs my dad would always embarrass me and get me up on the kit and play a couple songs with him and the band. I loved it.

    He's a nobody to everyone else but for me he's my biggest inspiration and I watched him play for 25+ years before he lost a battle to cancer.

    Who would have come up with something better? Lol
    NOW YOU LISTEN HERE! LARS ULRICH IS GARBAGE OK!?? OK!! GARBAGE!!!

    joking aside... I think he is like the Travis Barker of the Metal world. He has a lot of adoring fans just because hes in Metallica, not because hes an amazing talent. But those diehard fans will kill you if you say hes a bad drummer, even though they've never heard Vinnie Colaiuta play.
    Too Much Stuff.

    You can't really compare Travis with Lars. For a start, Travis is actually a good drummer Just kidding. Both are great drummers.

    Also pretty much everyone is a bad drummer if you compare them to Colaiuta lol
