Most drummers can remember that first moment when we understood our destiny.
For me it goes back to the time I strolled into my middle school friend’s basement where his older brother had a Pearl Export kit set up, ready to rock. I more than anything in that moment wanted to climb behind the kit and start ripping.
But after the initial moment of inspiration, it’s the artists we love that continue to feed us the passion. That, in turn, makes us want to keep improving and chase “the dream.”
Here at zZounds, we wanted to put together a master list of great drummers and their gear. This list will never be fully complete as there is nearly infinite talent out in the world, but with your help in the comments we may be able to come close. Maybe it’s just because we’re curious, but more likely it’s inspiring the next generation of drummers and maximizing the talent sitting behind the kit that’s our goal.
