Australia's best Drummers!!!

Virgil's fantastic - as you've all said. He's worlds away from so many of his contemporaries and a great songwriter too.

I'm kicking myself (double-kicking?) that I didn't get to work with him on Mark Boals' last album.

Vaticide

All these drummers a great, there is no doubt there.

But you are all over-looking John Sankey from Devolved, this guy is fucking brilliant behind the kit! Just put on Devolved's album, turn it up, and try to stop your jaw from dropping....
