The envelope please...
The readers of Modern Drummer magazine have elected Chris Adler from Lamb of God as the #1 drummer of the year in the "Metal" category in the magazine's 2007 Readers' Poll, which is in the July issue.
Adler edged out Shadows Fall drummer Jason Bittner, who came in at #2. Meshuggah's Tomas Haake took the #3 slot, Slayer's Dave Lombardo placed #4 and Trivium's Travis Smith placed at #5.
Lamb of God were nominated in the "Best Metal Performance" category at the 49th annual Grammy Awards, but lost out to Slayer. The band's latest record, Sacrament, has sold over 200,000 copies in the U.S. Look for Lamb of God before Ozzy Osbourne at this year's Ozzfest.
