Wolfgang Van Halen grew up seeing his father Eddie and his uncle Alex playing in Van Halen and had the chance to learn a lot from them. It's not a coincidence that he is an accomplished musician and besides writing and singing the songs from the albums he released as Mammoth, he also played all the instruments. In an interview with Drumeo, the musician talked mainly about drums and explained why his uncle Al is underrated and is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Wolfgang explains why Alex Van Halen is one of the best drummers in history "I think if he wasn't in a band with Eddie Van Halen, I think he would be lauded as one of the best, greatest drummers of all time, as rightfully, people do already - the people that really fucking get it. Especially seeing the show live, it's like you have Dave fucking jumping around and doing pirouettes and shit, and then you got all the crazy shit dad's doing." And really, how do you pay attention to Alex Van Halen's drumming, when there's a whole show happening in front of him? Wolf pointed this out and noted that if you really listen, there's a treasure trove of sound beneath: "There's so much happening, you can't really even lock in on the fact that Alex is just demolishing everything in the most amazing way. I think he's the closest drummer out there that ever got close to bottom in terms of that feel." "When you hear Al play, you know it's him. I don't think anybody on the planet has a more locked-in double-kick shuffle than Al did. Like on 'I'm the One,' obviously 'Hot for Teacher.' It's just unreal how perfect it is," Wolfgang Van Halen said (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar). Wolfgang formed his band Mammoth back in 2015 and the name is a reference to an early band formed by his father Eddie and uncle Alex before Van Halen. Since then he released two studio albums: “Mammoth WVH” (2021) and “Mammoth II” (2023). All the songs from both albums were written by him and he also recorded all the instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VREI1t4BN4o&t=1sThe post Wolfgang explains why Alex Van Halen is one of the best drummers in history appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
