Mark Cross

Life.Drumming.Death · April 14th, 2007, 11:56 PM

Well it just so happens that I'm a drummer who is hooked on this band. Firewind kills. Mark Cross is truly one of the greatest metal drummer's i've heard in a long time.

Can't wait to see him at the two shows there playing here in New York. Maybe I could get a lesson or meet Mark, who knows.

Any other drummers here?

Sorry, I'm a guitarist which I think the most ppl are in here =( But I've also played piano for 10 years

I'm a drummer too

No I couldnt possibly be a drummer.

I met Mark in Paris and he is a top guy, I'm sure he'll be pretty happy to chat to you in New York mate

I know nothing about drumming so I tend to associate great drummers with speed, so I can't comment on Mark's drumming

I don't play any 'metal' instruments.

Instead I play violin (which I've played for about 7 years now) ^_^

I think Mark Cross is an amazing drummer too. Would love to meet him. Would love to meet all of Firewind but it just doesn't seem like it's meant to bloody be! Although I did see Gus in a phonebox one time before a gig...but I didn't want to invade his privacy and just go barging up to him! Heh!

Heh.

He is amazing on the latest album. But when I've seen them live it was not that impressive. Some small mistakes (nothing big of course and most people will not hear this, but when you are a drummer too you hear it)

I spoke to Mark for a few minutes at the Glasgow gig in January. Very nice guy, chatted away about a few things for a bit. Great drummer too. Probably not as good as Stian, though.
