The Greatest Drummers of All Time

Bill Stevenson (the Descendents, Black Flag)

In 1977 at the age of 14, Bill Stevenson co-founded the Descendants, a pre-emo pop-punk band that has stood the test of time. He was also present on what’s considered as Black Flag’s most creative or “weirdest” albums; My War, and Slip It In. Stevenson laid the groundwork for pretty much every punk drummer who came after him, and he accredits his success to eating a ton of snickers bars and drinking a load of coffee before sets.
