Greatest drummer?

[00Stinger]

Yeah Maynard is more of a side man rather than a front man really, he's just part of it. The stage setup in 2020 was pretty epic, the light show and all the rest of it, one of the best shows I've been to.

Yeah I agree

I had tickets in a box for that show, ****ing epic

I wasn't really big on Fear Inoculum until after that show. The songs off that album was ****ing awesome live

I still smash that album

When I think greatest drummers, Arcade Fire don’t exactly jump out at me, but I’m loving the drumming in The Lightning II.
