Every true drummer knows about all of them. Studio drummer and circuit drummer that do demos are WAY more fucking badass than 99.99% of what you'll ever hear on the radio.
Next time guitar center has a demo of somebody go see it. It will make you rethink drumming. I taught percussion for a few years and you'd play a buddy rich record to a kid with a slipknot shirt on and he'd be like "Holy shit who is that guy? He can play fast as hell!!!" Yeah it's Buddy Rich and thats called Big Band and it was recorded in 1951, so tell your metal bands to shove it like they invented playing fast. And the difference is its not just fast its hard and technical too. Subtle things that only a drummer would recognize.
You all should go to Drummerworld.com and check out some videos by a few of those guys and you see who ACTUAL drummers look up to.
