We (Brian, Dave Bychowski and I) was Neutrino. Thanks for going to our shows. Brian is one of my favorite drummers, for obvious reasons. A blast to play guitar with.

Mac McNeilly is way up there on my favorite's list. He has it all -- style, subtlety, pummel, timing, grace, brutality... all that great rock drummer stuff. He's way up there on Brian's list, too.

Holy crap, Carl. Long time no see.

Oh, fuck yes. Man, that Interstellar Space record was insane.

Good ol' Brian. He's in Cougars, too. I used to go see his old band (forgot the name right now, but it was with Carl Saff on guitar) all the time.

Yeah, totally. Cougars & Neutrino, but I only listed him with the bands I've seen.

The Neutrino CD I have is great. Hi Carl!

Tomas Haake from Meshuggah getting no love?

My favourite contemporary metal drummer, easy.

Oh...Blake (can't remember his last name) of the Dazzling Killmen/Laddio Bolocko/etc. He did a good with Zeni Giva for a tour...that Bolocko thing...

absolutely amazing.
