From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tom Walling is an American drummer, best known for his short-lived membership of progressive metal band Symphony X. Walling was hired to replace Jason Rullo on the album Twilight in Olympus (1998). At the time, Rullo was struggling with personal issues. Rullo rejoined the band prior to the recording of V: The New Mythology Suite (2000), bringing Symphony X's collaboration with Walling to an end. Tom Walling now plays drums for an Ohio based Megadeth tribute band called Degameth, which includes Walling on drums, guitarist/vocalist George Hartwig, guitarist Jon Perotti, and bassist Damian Bonadono.
