24 years today we lost one of the world's greatest drummers. RIP Eric.
Here's a quote about Eric given to me by Bruce Kulick a few years ago:
"Eric was my friend, my bandmate and like a brother to me. He made me laugh, he made me angry,and when he passed on he made me cry. I remember his great drumming and his great sense of humor.
I miss him but I know he will never be forgotten. I hope he is having some great jam sessions in heaven!! Bruce."
