About the drummer

Dominic Howard is the technical and creative drummer for the rock band Muse. He is known for blending progressive rock complexity with a modern, electronic-infused sound. He is a major influence for those learning drums who want to play technical, stadium-sized rock.

Drummer style

Howard's style features fast-paced, syncopated rhythms and a high degree of coordination across the kit. Playing drums to his tracks requires agility and a mastery of the relationship between drums and heavy bass synth. His work is a top pick for technical drum covers and modern drum lessons.
