Wow. They should just call this the MTV Music Awards. The nominees for Best Drummer are all marginal at best. Dave Lombardo is not much compared to other drummers of the same style. Same for Mike “let’s see how many cymbals I can hit in one fill” Portnoy. Gene F’ing Hoglan should automatically get this award every year.
