The 25 wealthiest drummers


Recommended Posts

Young aspiring musicians need to realize the importance of writing credits. For example, Tico Torres is only worth less than half of Jon Bon Jovi's $85 net worth. In comparison, Lars is worth only about 5% less than James Hetfield's net worth. Lars must have writing credits and Tico must not have too many. Writing credits get you royalties (checks that come in the mail periodically from an agreed-to cut of generated album sales which you are credited on.)

Another example is with Ozzy Osbourne's drummer and bassist on his first couple solo albums. Those guys (half of Uriah Heap) considered themselves band members, played on the albums, but received no credit for their work in terms of royalties, and those albums generated tens of millions of dollars. The business of music is brutal, to say the least...

Where's Dale Crover from The Melvins?  dazed025.gif

Yeah, because The Melvins have had so much commercial success and have been raking in millions since they started unsure.gif

It was a joke dude. My point is that Dale is one of the best drummers out there that no one's ever heard of.
