Drum beat

I saw Jon Bon Jovi and Scorpions perform. The thing that struck me most about both was the drummers. Tico Torres for Bon Jovi and James Kottak for Scorpions. Torres’ drums had perhaps the best sound I’ve heard for a major concert. Torres himself played out of his skin, giving the Jovi classics and even their sugar-coated rock anthems the deserving drive they needed. Then there was Kottak. Not the Scorpions original drummer. Not that anyone would notice. For showmanship, drumming capability and sheer head-bangingness, Kottak killed it. It was cool to see rock drummers steal the show.
