Some of the world's finest drummers will hit the UK this November as part of The Black Crusade tour, the mightiest metal tour for many years.
Heading up the tour will be Machine Head (with the heavy-hitting Dave McClain on drums), Trivium (starring the one-and-only Travis Smith), while Dragonforce (with Dave Mackintosh, the man you voted 5th Best New Drummer in last year's Rhythm Readers Poll, pounding the skins) and Arch Enemy (featuring metal monster Daniel Erlandsson) will also be in tow. A fifth act is yet to be confirmed.
