There is only one real drummer for Petra, and that man whears a mouse!

I never saw Robert Sweet wear a mouse (lol). Seriously, though, Louie's great, but I really liked Paul Simmons. He rocked the house on the Farewell tour! Have not seen Cristian... yet. Hope to fix that soon.

I think all the Petra drummers have been great and we are blessed to have had them all at one time or another. I've gotten to see Louie & Paul several times each and they have different styles; I favor Paul more because he seems to put on a show, Louie seems to zone everything out while playing except during his solo.

You're welcome, Cristian! Love those flyin' hands! One day I'll get to see you in person!

That was with NO rehearsal? Seriously? How do you guys DO that?!

Yes, post more vids when you get them.

Hey Cristian, Petra is blessed to have you! Keep poundin' man, you're doing great!

Awesome video! Your'e a great drummer Cristian. Hope to see u in Sweden w Petra!

And we want Cristian back to Norway with either Petra or John Schlitt band!
He's an excellent drummer! I have seen him several times live! He's amazing!

At least I will see John three times at the solo concerts in April, Norway!
(No drummer this time, - just John, Rob & wife)

We are hoping to get to see him live also; I know everyone just raves about him that has seen him.

I will give Christian $500 US to wear mickey mouse shorts, mickey mouse shirt, a long blond haired wig for one concert.
