Greg's Religion- Brooks Wackerman (drums: 2001-) (318 words)
Brooks has been drumming in professional gigging and recording bands since he was literally abut 10 years old.
Before joining BR, Brooks spent some years in "Suicidal Tendencies"; and built a very solid rep. When Bobby was unexpectedly forced to leave, the sessions BR had booked for the new album turned into auditions for new drummers.
From hearing Brooks on TPOB and even more so for those of us who've seen him live, I'm sure you'll agree with me that he is one of the most incredible drummers of our time and an awesome churner of fast, solid beats, Punk drumming at it's greatest!
