Ed Warby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward R. Warby (born: 7 March 1968) was born and raised in Rotterdam. He is best known as the drummer for Gorefest and Ayreon. He also appeared in the band Agressor in 1982 and joined the Eindhoven-based prog-outfit Elegy in 1987.
Very recognizable in an era of metal when triggered drums were not very common and tempo quantization/edit was impossible, Ed Warby was (and is) astonishingly precise, with a very incisive and fluid technique, and a very constant beat strength.
Moved to Gorefest in 1992, where he replaced the former drummer just before the recording sessions of "False", he had to learn all themes and develop his work in just two weeks, which he managed to achieve so perfectly that producer Colin Richardson nicknamed him Fast Eddy. Gorefest split up in 1999. In 2004 he took part in the re-united Gorefest.
He also played in many other projects:
