Chris Adler from Lamb Of God Awarded the 2011 Modern Drummer Readers Poll in Metal Category

When it comes to Heavy Music, a drummer can make or break a band. In the case of Lamb Of God, Chris is not only a beat machine who plays with lots of precision and groove, but he is also the founder of Burn the Priest (who eventually became Lamb Of God) along with Mark Morton (Guitarist) and John Campbell (Bassist). Adler is also the man behind all business decisions within the band. He is a Heavy Metal Impresario!

Chris was recently awarded by voters as the winner of the 2011 Modern Drummer Readers Poll in the Metal drummer category! A shoo-in for the top honors in the Poll’s metal drummer category, Lamb Of God’s self-taught rhythm wizard spent much of 2009 and 2010 headlining tours and major festivals behind their well-received "Wrath" studio album and Hourglass box set.

The ranking of the 2011 Modern Drummer Readers Poll in the Metal drummer category:

1) Chris Adler
2) Joey Jordison
3) Morgan Rose
4) Gene Hoglan
5) Brann Dailor

In March 2011, Chris also set out on a successful clinic tour, wrote a number of articles for Modern Drummer, had a signature snare drum produced by Mapex, and released his first instructional book, "The Making of New American Gospel: Drum Tablature, Short Stories and Reflections".

We can't think of a better drummer to be given this award! Congratulations Chris! \m/
