The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Max Weinberg (Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band)

Weinberg showed up at a try out for Springsteen’s legendary backing band, with experience playing in Broadway pits as a kit drummer and stand percussionist. Springsteen was blown away by his performance and let him walk onto the band right before Born To Run went into recording. He stuck with the E-Street band until he got too old to slap the skins on tour.
