Big Fat Five: Johnny Kelly's (Type O Negative, Quiet Riot, Danzig) Top 5 Influential Records
Drummers on DrummingAbout this episode
This week’s guest is Johnny Kelly. Johnny is mostly known for his tenure as the drummer for Type O Negative, but his full resume includes Quiet Riot, Danzig, Silvertomb, A Pale Horse Named Death, Kill Devil Kill, and his latest endeavor, Eye Am. Johnny is a hell of a hard-hitting player, but his awareness of dynamics and the development of a theme while crafting parts is the reason he’s in the third decade of a very fruitful career. I hope you enjoy the 5 records that shaped Johnny Kelly into the drummer he is today. Cheers --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today! 🎯 Click here to order now!
