Tommy Tripod is still indeed the drummer for M.C. seeing as how the whole rap/rock thing he did sucked ass (Nikki Sixx wrote all of M.C.'s songs you know) and I don't imagine his semester at the U. of Nebraska sent him off in search of a degree in bovine husbandry. Neil Peart's drum solo on "A Show of Hands" might very well be the gold standard, Bonzo's bloated live "Moby Dick" solo's notwithstanding.
