Not any drummer can sit in Megadeth's Drum throne. Kudos to Jimmy

Jimmy´s the man! Saw him with Suicidal Tendencies when I was 14 yo, at the Monsters of Rock festival in São Paulo, 1994 and it was like being hit with an Iron bar on your forehead. Suicidal was amazing and Jimmy really took it to the next level - the energy/stamina, groove, precision and musicality were outstanding. Managed to see him again with Alice Cooper and Megadeth and it was equally amazing. I´ve been fortunate enough to attend gigs were all my drum heroes were playing (Peart, Ulrich, McBrain, Weckl, Grohl, Hawkins, Collaiuta, Cameron, Smith, Bozzio, etc.) , but to this day - and I say this with utmost respect of my drum heroes - none of then have´d the same effect on seeing Jimmy in ´94 with ST - thank you sir, for being such an inspiration!

Jimmy’s an amazing drummer. I first discovered Jimmy on Y&T’s records in the early 90’s and he really stood out, been a fan of him since then. Love his drumming with the Black Star Riders!

Awesome interview and drummer. Remember being blown away after hearing him on Suicidal For Life in 1994.

Hi Jimmy! You were the drummer in the very first concert I attended: Megadeth, Chile 1998 🇨🇱 Awesome performance! you became one of my favorite drummers since then

This is great Jimmy. Seeing you talk drums and business with Don is excellent. I met Jimmy back around 1994 in Anaheim he played with the Y and T he was playing a white DW kit that sounded awesome and 5000 pedals. Super personable cool person I met him at soundcheck before he signed a drum head for me very inspiring I love his drumming style in the rock world totally underrated Jimmy is one of the best. And I have every right to say As freedom of speech and a American totally sucked when he went over to pearl drums I can't stand that corporation DW 100% business sound quality hardware drum production everything pearl copies everything DW does look into it I would not kid you. That's my quick story and it's great to see you guys talk about everything and anything drum related and business related love you guys love dw

Y & T's Ten album is one of my favorite albums.

[@hthtomcat3]
