About the drummer

Larry Mullen Jr. is the co-founder and rhythmic heart of the Irish rock band U2. His instinctive approach, influenced by his marching band roots, helped define the band's anthemic sound. He is an essential study for anyone learning drums who wants to understand rhythmic discipline and leadership.

Drummer style

His style is defined by its lean force and use of military-style snare rudiments and heavy floor toms. Playing drums like Larry requires a clean, steady technique and careful use of the hi-hat to drive the song. His parts are classic material for drum covers and drum lessons.
