Caleb Hayes
Documented by Drum Faster
A young English drummer, self-taught from the age of two, playing fast and clean rock and metal in the lineage of Joey Jordison and Jay Weinberg. Took a main stage slot at the UK Drum Show in Liverpool in October 2025, and Drumeo's Tony Williams Award for that year.

A Roland and Paiste artist. Roland makes sense for a young player working on this material at home: an electronic kit means you can practise blast beats in the afternoon without a noise complaint, which is a real constraint on anybody learning metal in a house. His acoustic specification is not published in detail worth printing as fact.
