Metalheads mostly like to be bludgeoned tho, Uwe! lol
Funny you mentioned Petrucci in this context too, since I almost posted earlier this excerpt from Mike Portnoy's instructional Liquid Drum Theater DVD that I watched again tonight.
He's my fav drummer & drum guru!! He plays double pedals on a single kick with LTE!!
btw~ The DVDS that were filmed in June 2008 of Liquid Tension Experiment are now available.
I intend to get the one of their L.A. show, which I attended.
It was AWESOME! We were SO glad to see that they were makin' a DVD!
Here's the trailer with a link to buy the dvd:
