He is blasting faster than 95% of all other metal drummers...
... with only his right leg.
And all with a precision of a metronome. Intense.
Eloy does have a Double Kick Drum setup; there is a chain-driven beater from his left pedal. Having two kick drums can be a pain in both touring and in maintaining pitch, so the one drum having two strikes is quicker responding and is easier to setup.

Charlie Watts from the Rolling Stones for instance changed his snare drum skin for the first time a few years ago. That is 40years+ of the same sound... gotta love it.

I just saw them on Thursday, and boy was it awesome. Pretty much one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen. I literally wanted them to play forever.
At first I was a little concerned, as they don't have the best history in playing live, but if you want to see them, now is the time! :rockout:

Mostly I meant Chino's voice with this comment. He was pretty hit or miss 10 years back. But this time...
Oh my fvcking god.
He absolutely nailed it. It was flawless. And the rest of the band was awesome as always. Actually it was so good, I am still blown away.

Saturday was BombSquad, The Accused AD, Infex, and DRI.

I was very impressed with Infex (Oakland, CA).


Actually, the only one I didn't care for was The Accused AD.
