At one time, Ritchie Blackmore talked about Cozy Powell, saying, “You cannot get any better than Cozy. He is always up on stage going wide. And he always pushes me when I look around. He always sends me that urge to play because he does not allow anyone to take it easy.” That is exactly what Cozy Powell was to many people.

The drummer did not only influence fans but other great drummers too. One of his fans was once hard, saying, “Cozy communicates to me directly through his drums. The way he plays makes it seem as though the drums are speaking, and I can hear them very well.” They were not wrong about Cozy. He is one of the best drummers the hard rock and metal industry has ever had.

Thomas Hunting is an American drummer born on 11th April 1965 in Richmond, California, United States. Many people know him through the famous band Exodus because of his great work and the unique techniques he employs. He plays three major drums that include drums, vocals, percussion, and guitar.

According to the drummers he worked with within the Exodus, playing these three primary instruments makes him an exceptional person to work with. He is a respected drummer in the Exodus group as he played in the band’s first three albums.

“When it comes to great music performance, it takes more than mere talent, and perhaps many hours of practice.” Said George Hurley.

“The world is changing so first with all the technological innovations being witnessed around.  For this reason, one needs to look at what is happening around and adapt appropriately.” And this is what Hurley has always done.  His mind is not set on working with just the ordinary; he seems to invent a new style every time he is behind the kit, just to meet the demands of the moment. There are very few drummers who have such power, and it is the mark of greatness.

Richie Hayward drummed for the surrealistic band Little Feat, for a very long time. He often tended to play over, under, and around the beat, trying to find the perfect match for every song.

“I don’t believe a drummer can have only one playing style.” 

Richie Hayward once said. “I mean, drumming is so wide and fans that you always find new ideas, even within the simplest things.” And it is the same idea that drove Hayward into creating some of the most incredible songs of all time.
