The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

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.
