Eric Moore is an American drumming powerhouse widely celebrated for his incredible speed, technical fluidity, and profound influence on the modern "Gospel Chops" movement. He first gained massive international attention after winning the 2003 Guitar Center Drum Off, a victory that propelled him to the forefront of the global drumming community.
Moore is best known for his high-energy performances with the funk-metal supergroup Infectious Grooves and the legendary crossover act Suicidal Tendencies.
