The amazing thing about both John and Charlie is they grew up in the same neighborhood in the Bronx. I jammed with both of them way back when and they were amazing even then. They are both gifted drummers and great guys.

@38decembers nah plenty of wear left on there tires :P drumming and music is there life
-
@OGTheDemon They are both pretty verastile but being in alot of bands like John has gives him an edge but Charlie has played with Public Enemy and a few others as well.Their are tons of bands that cite John and Charlie as influences for what they have brought to the metal genre and I don't see either one giving up their sticks anytime soon.

@38decembers yea i like charlie more cause he has def influenced me more...but man john tempesta is a helluva a metal drummer a very "versatile" one at that. Def in one way or another can give charlie a run for his money

@OGTheDemon True,I don't dislike John I just think Charlie is better-but that's just my opinion.

I think you mean Felix Griffin,and I'm from Texas so you automatically have to love D.R.I,Deadhorse,Helstar and Pantera.

@38decembers actually blast beat was already played by jazz drummers in the 50's and in heavy metal Eric Brecht of D.R.I. was probably the first drummer to use it
-
@retrorp Maybe not Lombardo but DEFINITELY Lars
John Tempesta is really good,But Charlie Benante is fucking great-there's a difference.Charlie is also credited as being the father of the blast beat,and like someone else said on here,Charlie don't cheat!!

I think Benante is one of best drummers, Urlich and Lombardo should buy some lesson in Benante's school
