Mike Portnoy & Arejay Hale Discuss Favorite Drummers of All Time

"A stereotype I've bonded with a lot of drummers over the years is that we're all just cavemen at heart."

"Well, we hit things for a living!"

Drummers Mike Portnoy (Winery DogsDream Theater) and Arejay Hale (Halestorm) team up this week for a new episode of Metalhead To Head. Check out Part 1 of the episode above and Part 2 below!

Portnoy, who is widely known for his dedication to impeccable technique and who is one of the youngest drummers to be inducted into Modern Drummer's Hall of Fame, discusses his admiration of Hale's energy and acrobatics when performing live. Hale demonstrates some stick tricks and reveals why he began adding showmanship into his live playing–he was inspired by legends like Led Zeppelin's John Bonham and The Who's Keith Moon.
