I think almost every drummer reaches a certain level and they become very fluid in their musical tastes, because it's all just rhythm
When I became really obsessed with rhythm my musical horizons broadened immensely. I was raised on bands like Led Zeppelin and other classic rock favorites. When I got older I really got into metal and played in several bands. But a lot like AwesomeUsername said, my interest in metal has waned with my continued interests in psychedelics, tryptamines particularly.
I will always be a metalhead
But I find myself drawn to the instrumental bands much more as I get older. This new Animals as Leaders album is absolutely fantastic, and I find the drumming in particular is great. This being the second album with this current drummer, I think they're really getting tight.
Oh, @The Grateful One, Angel Vivaldi is one of my favorite soloists
Was supposed to see him live earlier this year but he couldn't make it to the show.
Lately I've been playing this album every day, everyone around me is so sick of it
This is my favorite track "Every Piece Matters".
