Lars looks at his hihat every time like it's a moving target
Editor's Note: It's impossible for me to believe this but with this post, I created the youtube-LarsUlrich label for this blog. I have published 13904 posts but not once did I create that label!

How True was this Article for 2025?
As I write this post on Monday, 12-16-2024, I presume that Future prhmusic will still follow the pro wrestling companies WWE and, to a much lesser extent, AEW, which is why I am future dating this post for a year from now to check in on how correct this article with predictions about who the top WWE and AEW superstars will be.
For the record, prior to posting this article, I have 787 posts tagged with "pro wrestling" and 660 posts tagged with "WWE."

Improve my Drumming in Only 90 Minutes for 87 Bucks
https://www.dimitrifantinidrums.com/handspeedmasterclass?cid=933a07b8-1f2d-450d-8634-62c7920eaae3 - The Real Reason Your Hand Speed Hits a Wall (And How to Smash Through It)
From the website:
Struggling to break through your speed barriers?
You practice your rudiments religiously. You've tried every speed-building exercise on YouTube. But when it comes time to play fast, your hands cramp up, your technique falls apart, and you hit a wall.
Sound familiar?
Trying to play fast without proper technique is like flooring the gas pedal with your brakes on. You're working twice as hard to go half as fast, and something's going to break.
But your drumming doesn't have to be this way.
Discover how to unlock lightning-fast hand speed that feels effortless:
- Break through speed plateaus that have held you back for months (or years)
- Learn why "practicing faster" is actually slowing you down
- Master the technique secrets that separate sloppy slow-pokes from speed demons
- Build speed that feels controlled, clean, and completely natural
- Transform your hands into precision speed machines on autopilot
Here's the truth most drummers never learn:
The fastest drummers in the world aren't just naturally gifted – they understand the Hand Speed Formula that transforms all those rudiments into blazing fast fills.
After working with hundreds of drummers, I've cracked the code on what separates drummers who struggle to play fast from those who make lightning speed look effortless.
I've distilled it all into a proven system that:
- Programs lightning-fast speed directly into your muscle memory
- Eliminates the tension that kills your speed
- Builds speed that actually improves your technique
- Creates the fluid, effortless feel you hear in your favorite drummers

Glen Sobel Drum Solo
I could have seen Alice Cooper on May 13th and I chose not to drive to Moline.
Per https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alice-cooper/2025/vibrant-arena-at-the-mark-moline-il-7b5a0afc.html, Sobel played a drum solo. I have no idea if he played the same drum solo as he did in this video or not.
