Zach+HillJon Theodore Drums

Two of my favourite modern giants - both executing power and precision within their own unique style. Zach Hill gets my vote. Big smile I've never seen or heard anyone approach the kit like his does. He really grabs the bull by the horns when he plays - sporadic, raw and breathtaking. Up there with Peart and Bruford for me. A technical virtuoso.

Not a big fan of Death Grips or TMV, but Jon is pretty damned good

They're both good but I really love Zach Hill's work with Hella/Death Grips/solo, and not so huge of a TMV fan anymore.

Replace Theodore with Thomas Pridgen and it might have been harder for me to vote.

Jon Theodore is up there with Harrison as my favorite drummers.
Crushed like a rose in the riverflow.

Zach Hill. My favourite drummer in the soloing field. He's unique and f**king amazing. 
New album!
