Thommy Price

Drummers are the unsung architects of rock, and Thommy Price is a perfect case study. Out of Brooklyn, he kept the beat for Scandal, Blue Öyster Cult, Billy Idol's band, and, most tellingly, became the longest-serving member of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts besides Jett herself. That detail says everything: a man behind the kit, not the microphone, trusted to stay at the heart of a band for decades. He died in 2025, but his real legacy is structural, the dependable pulse under songs everyone knows. I have enormous respect for that kind of steadiness. Rhythm, after all, never lies.
