Gus Rios (Left To Die, Gruesome) - drumtalk [episode 69]
Meet Gus, a great and super tasty Death Metal player who carries on to hold the torch for Chuck Schuldiner's Death legacy with the tribute band Left To Die and his own band Gruesome where he's getting in the minds of Bill Andrews, Chris Reifert and Sean Reinert. The difference of being just a drummer or a musician who plays drums is the key to being the right guy for the job and Gus incorporates that epiphany brilliantly. Listen and learn folks!
