Drummer Jon Dette (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, ANTHRAX) has uploaded an eight-minute video in which he offers a “small but powerful drumming tip” on what he believes is a staple to the SLAYER drumming sound: the ruff or the diddle or grace notes.

Ex-MEGADETH Bassist DAVID ELLEFSON Becomes A ‘Baron Of Sealand’
Former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson says that he was recently given the title of baron by Sealand — described as the smallest independent state in the world. Sealand is a WWII defense platform off the coast of Britain, consisting of a large steel deck sitting atop two concrete towers. It was seized and proclaimed a nation by a pirate broadcaster named Roy Bates in 1967. His grandson Liam Bates currently holds the title of Prince Of Sealand. To fund Sealand’s operational costs — including two full-time security personnel who live on the micronation year-round — Sealand’s online store sells t-shirts, stamps and royal titles. A lord, lady, baron or baroness peerage costs $44.99. To receive the title of sir or dame, you will need to cough up $129.99. Ellefson discussed his Seala...
