description: "Randy Black is a Canadian drummer known best for his stints as the drummer for Bif Naked, Annihilator, Primal Fear, and Destruction. Although Black's actual acoustic drum configuration is not unique to the field of drumming, his playing style is notable for his ability to play ambidextrously with a symmetrical set of cymbals, specifically a dual set of remote hi-hats and ride cymbals to his right and to his left respectively."
