Very cool interview, thank you! Chris was surreal in Dillinger

[@josephguillermo3007]

This was great. Chris is one of my heroes. I met him and Brian Bennett in a McDonald’s in Japan during a festival called the Beast Feast. We spoke to him, took pictures Brian and Chris signed my shirt. Chris ate my nuggets. I got one of his sticks after they finished playing. It was wedged in between a speaker monitor, I had asked the security guard if he would get it for me, he did and I still have it till this day.

This is a really great story. Thanks for sharing!

Went to high school with Chris, Adam Doll, John Fulton and Tommy A. Even in 7th grade when we started to play instruments, the speed in witch they progressed was amazing. Glad to see Pennie is still killing it.

Best episode ever! So grateful to Chris Pennie for all the music he did!

[@lloydzarathoustra]

For me, one of the best drummers of all Time.

[@dpclerks09]

He was inspired by the Greatest, Master Sean Landon Reinert (Rest in Peace 🙏)

[@DrumThruDriveIn]

I love this!!! Really happy to see Chris as busy as he is. He's been a huge inspiration to me since his dillinger days. He's on the path im pushing towards as well. Inspiring!!!

Mike Patton-Chris Pennie: THE encounter that had to happen. Geniuses.

[@michaelvieregge2257]

My personal Best drummer of all time , and i greatly miss hearing his witchcraft in Dillinger . I met him once in omaha nebraska shortly before he left dillinger and im pretty sure i made him uncomfortable with my obsessive questions about his use of the Ostinato at fast bpms.
