The Greatest Drummers of All Time

Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age, the Mars Volta)

Fuser of Afro-Cuban, Latin American, and experimental metal drumming, there isn’t much that Jon Theodore can’t do. After drumming in the Mars Volta (one of the wildest bands of all time IMO), Theodore bounced around projects until he ended up in Queens of the Stone Age. Jon Theodore made his name known for his ability to hold down some of the most chaotic music out there. He somehow manages to make nightmare leads accessible through rhythm.
