First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone. First timer here. I am a lover of the drums and wanted to get insight from you guys who admire them as well. First of all, what's the best drum set to get? Second, just for my curiosity, who is everyone's favorite drummer?

When it comes to the exciting world of drumplaying, I look for a few specific things. I look for the drummer to display individual style, versatility in his playing and also a clearness of sound. To me Chris Schneider, Rammstein's drummer, has all three elements going for him; he can be hotter than an inferno one minute, then drop out completely the next.
