The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt)

This dude’s music is super weird. His drumming style is so powerful and primal, taking influence from free jazz and industrial music. Brian Chippendale rigs a microphone mask to his face and distorts his vocals to sound almost like a cross between a 1930s commercial narrator and the devil himself. Chippendale set an example for some of the greatest experimental drummers of our day, like Zach Hill, who is the drummer of Death Grips.
