For you speed metal and Howard Stern fans (that combo will probably be about 2 people? :)), Richard Christy did some drumming this morning. They played a couple speed metal songs then Richard played a little. The speed metal style is about one level beyond what I like (Slayer, Metallica, Sepultura, etc), but as far as the drumming, I think he’s pretty good. I know he’s toured in the past. I’ve heard him play a ilttle before. :bigthumb: to the double bass drum. I have enough trouble with two hands on the guitar much less adding in my feet.

And Fred adding in the growling dog sounds was pretty funny. Worth catching the replay - ~7:00 AM timeframe.

I heard it… I was a big fan of Iced Earth for quite a while…Christy is an incredible drummer…he meshes a lot of different styles together to make for some non-boring death metal.

I love how Howard downplays Richards skills, last week when they were playing that WykedWytch clip, he was saying that there is no way Richard can play like that…even though he is much faster.
