Bill Ward vs. Clive Burr – Greatest Metal Drummer, Round 2

In a battle of Black Sabbath drummers, the band's original skin basher Bill Ward defeated Vinny Appice in Round 1 of our Greatest Metal Drummer competition. Ward now moves onto Round 2 to face an equally legendary drummer from another god-like metal act.

Late Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr unleashed the beast against Mikkey Dee in our competition, creating an incredibly exciting Round 2 matchup. Now, the late Burr is matched against the legendary Bill Ward!
