Chris Dave
Described by Questlove as the “most dangerous drummer alive.” Chris “Daddy” Dave has been featured on many high-profile pop hits, notably Adele’s 21 and D’Angelo’s Black Messiah. Chris Dave is known for his extravagant and creative kits, one of those kits has 5 snares to add texture to songs, corresponding with the chorded notes. His flexibility and knowledge of classic techniques make him the perfect hip-hop drummer.
Tomas Haake (Meshuggah)
The long-standing percussionist in Swedish “extreme” metal group, Tomas Haake made his name known for playing 4/4 grooves with his off-hand and playing poly-rhythms with his dominant hand. Tomas is fast and powerful, tonally similar to a lot of the nu-metal and deathcore bands coming up around the time Meshuggah showed up. Tomas is a remarkable drummer who manages to weave complex rhythms into otherwise "simple" songs in basic time signatures.
