Every maker has a story. Maybe yours started with a hobby, a business idea, a gift you wanted to make yourself, or simply wondering, “Could I make that?”

We know making can start in all kinds of ways, and we love being part of what comes next.

CHRIS ADLER — LAMB OF GOD ERA! 🥁🔥

When we talk about drummers who helped DEFINE the sound of modern heavy metal, CHRIS ADLER absolutely belongs in that conversation!

His work with LAMB OF GOD is a masterclass in SPEED, PRECISION, GROOVE, and rhythmic CREATIVITY.

But one thing I’ve always found FASCINATING about Chris is his approach to CYMBALS!

In a genre where drummers often gravitate toward MASSIVE cymbals, Chris took a DIFFERENT approach.

His setups featured smaller cymbals, including 8” and 12” SPLASHES and 14” CRASHES.

And here’s what I absolutely LOVE.

Chris would actually RIDE on SPLASH CYMBALS during some of Lamb of God’s HEAVIEST sections!

Instead of the sustained WASH of a huge crash, those smaller cymbals delivered a TIGHT, ARTICULATE sound that cut through the distorted guitars.

Of course, he wasn’t afraid to go BIG either. The man also played a MASSIVE 24” RIDE!

And that SNARE DRUM! His 12” x 5.5” Mapex Black Panther produced that unmistakable, cutting CRACK that became such an important part of his sound.

Combine those choices with his intricate double-bass patterns and syncopated grooves, and you get something instantly RECOGNIZABLE.

Go listen to “Ruin,” “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” or “Walk with Me in Hell.”

Some absolutely NASTY drum parts!

But what makes Chris so important to me isn’t just his TECHNIQUE.

It’s that he developed a recognizable MUSICAL IDENTITY.

The cymbal choices. The snare sound. The intricate kick patterns. The way his grooves lock in with those CRUSHING guitar riffs.

You hear it, and you KNOW who’s behind the kit.

And THAT is one of the hardest things to accomplish as a musician.

So much has already been done that finding your OWN sound can feel almost IMPOSSIBLE.

But when you stay true to YOURSELF and YOUR musical tastes instead of constantly chasing what everyone else is doing, something truly PERSONAL can emerge.

Chris Adler is PROOF of that! 🥁🔥

What’s YOUR favorite Chris Adler drum performance?

Alhamdulillah ☝️😎 | A historic moment for Muslims across America and beyond! Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, defeating Republican Mike Rogers and becoming the first Muslim ever elected to the United States Senate. His victory marks a groundbreaking milestone for Muslim representation in American politics.

The son of Egyptian immigrants and a former public health official, El-Sayed overcame a fiercely contested campaign to make history. His victory sends a powerful message about representation, opportunity, and the growing role of Muslim Americans in shaping the nation’s future. A moment that will be remembered for generations!
