[Heeplist] new album

[Shawn Mctopy]

A lot of Modern *'Rock Drumming'* features a more brutal & pounding style
and attack.



Many of the older 70's style drummers had a *'Groove'* to their playing, as
well as being able to pound away.

Drummers like Lee Kerslake, Nick Mason, the legendary Keith Moon and even
... someone like *'Catman'* Peter Criss.
