Art Cruz

Lamb Of God

Art Cruz rose to prominence as one of the genre's top touring drummers. With Lamb Of God as his favorite band, he made his recording debut with the band with a whirlwind introduction. Like the historic additions of Bruce Dickinson, Jason Newsted, or Paul Bostaph, Cruz commands his position with passion, sweat, and expansive dynamics, reenergizing Lamb Of God's overall sound.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Modern drumming and the next generation of drummers. Helping up and coming drummers is what inspires me. There are many men and women who paved the path for me to BE inspired from the start. I find it my life duty to do the same for new drummers. This means sharing my journey of playing drums, touring and overall life.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Make friends, remain humble, practice, and don’t look back!
