Solo Drumming by Kamelot Drummer Casey Grillo



Casey Grillo, drummer for melodic-metal giants Kamelot, may be a little too modest when discussing his playing, but when he gets behind his drumkit, humility gives way to sheer percussive dominance and tastefull groove. A professional drummer since the age of 16, Grillo joined Kamelot in 1997 and has been playing in front of enormous festival crowds across Europe and Japan ever since. Though he bears an almost-frightening resemblance to Buddy Rich (see photos below....yikes!!) his flurried double-bass playing and power-fusion chops are anything but big-band swing (though we hear he can do that too!) Check out the video and be impressed.
