Dave McClain (born in Wiesbaden) is the drummer of Machine Head. He joined the band when Chris Kontos left shortly after their first album (Burn My Eyes). He was formerly a member of Turbin, Sacred Reich and S.A. Slayer. This band should not be mistaken for California based band Slayer.
McClain incorporates a wide variety of immensely complicated beats in each song, using the double-bass drum pedal to great effect along with a very select drum kit and cymbals. McClain hits the drums consistently hard, even through songs in excess of five minutes (being a good deal of Machine Head's latest album "The Blackening"). McClain is considered by some to be one of the most underestimated and underappreciated drummers in metal. He is endorsed by Ddrum Acoustic Drums, Aquarian drumheads, Ddrum electronics, and Zildjian cymbals.[1]
