Lamb of God Drummer Moonlighting

05/14/2008
. The following story was part of the Day in Rock Report for 5/14/08 - (PR) Chris Adler, the blistering drummer of heavy metal giants Lamb of God, will be contributing to Modern Drummer Magazine with a column entitled, "My Two Cents." In his column, Chris will be answering reader's questions from his unique drumming perspective, as well as suggesting and teaching new drum techniques.

Chris commented on his new monthly column: "I'm flattered and amazed to be asked to contribute a column to the magazine. As I mention in the column this month, I'm not the typical MD model. I'm not the Berklee kid - I'm the kid with the long hair and denim jacket that figured it out my way. I hope the column serves as a beacon to players like myself who may feel overwhelmed by MD magazine. It's great of MD to recognize the organic, self-taught style, and I hope to empower those readers who play from their heart, not just from the exercises we read. I'm already receiving very positive feedback and questions from readers and can't wait bring a bit different perspective to them."

Readers and fans are encouraged to write in with questions for Chris. Send an e-mail to [email protected] with "For Chris Adler" in the subject line.

Chris and the rest of Lamb of God, are gearing up for the release of their brand-new 2-disc DVD, Walk With Me In Hell, due July 1 on Epic Records. Lamb of God's previous DVD was the platinum-selling Killadelphia.
