Best Rock Drummers
I just read some of the older posts on this thread, and man did loomisjohnson describe Bonhan's playing perfectly, way back in 2014! 
Greatest Rock Drummers
Perfectly put, shadorne. Here’s a little story illustrating a related point:I was hired for a session, the recording of a single song for the soundtrack of a low-budget movie. I had worked with the producer before, so he knew what he was getting. ...

If you were to market a product, what would you do?
There is nothing like a positive review from a critic with integrity (and a system suitable for your products). I would have Dick Olsher and maybe Art Dudley give your stuff a listen.
