Drummers - Chris Adler (Lamb of God)
Chris Adler is an American drummer (born November 23,
1972). He plays for the groove metal/metalcore band Lamb Of God. He also
plays the piano, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and saxophone. He is the
older brother to bandmate Willie Adler, and is also a vegetarian along
with bandmate John Campbell.
Fame
As Lamb Of God gained more recognition throughout the years, Adler's
reputation as a proficient drummer in the metal scene grew as well.
Typically, he would write his drum parts after his band-mates had
brought him some riffs and ideas. As seen on the Killadelphia DVD, Chris
tried to create unique music while not taking anything away from the
riffs or the song itself. Utilizing strong symmetry in his drumming, and
being highly skilled in his double bass work, Adler also creates unique
sticking patterns to go along with his unique double bass playing style.
Equipment
Chris Adler uses Saturn Series Mapex drums,12 inch Mapex Black Panther
Birdseye-Maple snare, Gibraltar hardware, Aquarian drumheads, DW 9000
series Pedals and Meinl Percussion cymbals. He also designed his own 24"
Meinl MB20 signature ride cymbal, as well as his own 'Chris Adler'
Pro-Mark drum sticks.
