Brian and me - separated at birth?? ;)
I have to say also that I think Dave Klein is probably one of the
VERY best drummers in the nineties surf, and definitely the most
underrated. When I listen to him I often find myself thinking that I
like hearing this guy playing surf even more than Dusty! He's got a
more traditional style than Dusty and he's heavy on the snare, which
I'm crazy about. And he's just freakin' explosive!!
Long live Dave Klein!
