Gene Hoglan

American drummer born on August 31, 1967 in Dallas, Texas. Hoglan started his career in the music scene in 1983 as a roadie for the thrash metal band Slayer: he was a light engineer, and played some drums during the soundchecks. Hoglan joined Dark Angel (3) as a drummer in 1984, and he has since recorded and toured with many famous metal bands, such as Death (2), Strapping Young Lad and Testament (2). A self-taught drummer, he has gained the nickname "The Atomic Clock" for his top-class skill and precision, even in playing complex drum patterns at very fast tempos.
