Personally: Dad, my son, my wife, Grandpa and Papa.
Musically: Neil Peart, drummer for Rush not only for his immense talent but for what he has been through in his life and still carried on... Rick Allen of Def Leppard for VERY obvious reasons... Buddy Rich...if you don't know why, just find some recordings of this guy playing drums...you'll figure it out... Dave Weckl...if you don't know who this guy is, you're missing the most talented drummer in the galaxy... Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater...just listen... Todd Sucherman of Styx and Taylor Mills...this guy is worth studying if you don't know already... Shannon Larkin and Sully Erna of Godsmack...awesome...
