Chad Sexton

Hi guys! Just a little thread Chad Sexton... a really underrated drummer imo.

Little bit of background info on Chad Sexton.. ex-snare line drummer with Sky Ryders and Railmen, then he moved on to playing for 311, and it shows in his playing! He's one of the cleanest drummers I've ever heard, and tbh, not everybody likes his style of playing, but listen to some of the stuff he plays, and you'll be quite amazed by his command of rudiments.

Yeap I'm a fan of his playing! His doubles are <3

I love his groove! His fills are tasteful and groovy, but if anybody else tries to replicate it, it'd probably sound a bit too mechanical or overplayed!

His playing really does complement the band!
