MAX WEINBERG

In 1974, Max Weinberg first played for Bruce Springsteen. In little time, he became a mainstay of The Boss’ E Street Band. His work on the skins helped propel Springsteen into an American rock institution, beginning with the anthemic “Born To Run”.

NEIL PEART

Although legends in North America, Rush never became a household name on other continents to the same extent. As far as the U.S.A. and Canada are concerned though, Neil Peart is much loved. The Canadian’s touch is best demonstrated on “Tom Sawyer” by the group.

ROGER TAYLOR

As a founding member of Queen, Roger Taylor will be long remembered as the drummer of a cherished band. Each member of Queen contributed to the group’s impressive canon. Among Taylor’s best compositions are: “Radio Ga Ga” and “A Kind Of Magic”. His drumming powers the band’s worldwide smash “Another One Bites The Dust”.
