Why have I never heard of this man before? Truly a legend. It saddens me deeply when great musicians pass away. They deserve to be immortal

Yet another loss.  The article I read indicated he pioneered the use of double bass drums.  If this is accurate, then obviously his influence has been felt in the rock world.
