These are the men that I respect so much. They are the ones that got me into drumming and have kept me motivated to do much more than the basic. I appreciate what these guys have done for metal and music in general.Jason Bittner↓Shadows FallChris Adler↓Lamb of GodLars Ulrich↓MetallicaDavid Silveria↓Korn (Former)Joey Jordison↓SlipknotNeil Peart↓RushVinnie Paul↓Pantera/Damageplan/HellyeahShannon Larkin↓GodsmackOther Honorable Mentions Nick Oshiro→Static-X Shannon Lucas→All That Remains(former) Chad Szeliga→Breaking Benjamin Andols Herrick→Chimaira

My hero would have to be my older brother, Dylan. This guys a total bad ass. He's in the 2nd Marine Division 3rd Battlion 8 Marines H&S and is over in butt fucked Iraq right now fighting for our country. I'm very proud of him and i'm honored to be his little brother. Its been a blessing to be with him and know that he's doing something with his life. So, if anybody has any objection to the war, you need to meet my bro. He'll set you straight. CPL Gonzalez, Dylan MartianAnd there is this man. Sammy was not only a friend, but a second brother. He taught me to be courteous and friendly and to always accept people for who they are. I miss this man more than anything. Just knowing him made be a better person and for that, I respect him and will forever remember him and carry on his acts of kindness. Peace to you, Sam. May you continuously bless me and others with your spiritual presents and power. Love ya, bro!Samuel Safken - July 21, 1985 - Sept. 19, 2006
