Just learned that #TedKirkpatrick passed away in 2022. ☹️

When people ask me who the best #drummer in the world is, I never hesitate; it was Ted.

He played primarily for the Christian thrash #metal band, #Tourniquet. His drum solos at concerts are legendary. I was lucky enough to see him play at a gig in #Philadelphia in the 90s.

Search his name on YouTube & you'll find hundreds of his percussionist solos. RIP, Ted. 🀘🏽

Right now I listen the Tourniquet's song "Harlot Widow and the Virgin Bride", I wonder again if they were influenced by King Diamond. Seriously that song is one of my favorites.
