The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Kevin Kaine (Knocked Loose)

Drummer for the American hardcore (metalcore crossover? Tone and genre are weird) band; Knocked Loose. Kaine plays to the strengths of the rest of the musicians, he’s one of those “perfect fit” drummers. Never too much, never ever too little, and just as wild as he needs to be when the time comes. 

Ryan Leger (Every Time I Die)

The rhythm behind southern metalcore outfit (from Buffalo, NY, weirdly) Every Time I Die. Leger plays blues-inspired extreme metal style drumming, which is something that probably doesn’t exist anywhere else. Other similar bands that follow this model are '68, The Chariot, and Norma Jean.
