![Philthy Animal Taylor - The drummer that invented Thrash [1020x611 - 59KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/s7n8Il.jpg){kind=link}
"The double kick drum was what gave thrash its intensity, its relentlessness: it was what makes thrash sound like the end of the world, rather than merely a riot."
Despite double kick drums stretching back to The Big Band era (Louis Belson, Ed Shaughnessy), though Hippie Rock (Ginger Baker, Keith Moon) and the Fusion cats (Billy Cobham, Terry Bozzio), NO one had ever laid down the straight 8 double kickin' in your face basal ganglia assault before Phil Taylor on Motörhead's Overkill.
"Hearing what Taylor did (on Overkill) the group’s then guitarist, Larry Wallis, turned to Lemmy and uttered what might serve as Taylor’s epitaph: “What a horrible little cunt. He’s perfect.”
Bad sumbitch.
