Musical artist
Christopher James Adler (born November 23, 1972) is an American musician, best known as the founder and longtime drummer of heavy metal band Lamb of God from 1994 to 2019, and Grammy Award winning member of Megadeth .
Adler was a member of Megadeth from 2015 to 2016, appearing on their fifteenth album, Dystopia
Adler is well recognized for his open-handed technique, his use of the heel-toe technique , and his unusual approach to the drum kit as a left handed player on a right handed kit.
Early life and influences [ edit ]
His influences include former Wrathchild America and current Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin ,[2] Stewart Copeland [3] of The Police . Other influences are John Bonham , Dave Lombardo , Gar Samuelson , Lars Ulrich , Billy Cobham , and Gene Hoglan .[4]
In an interview with DRUM!
"The bass drum legs were different lengths so they wouldn't touch the ground at the same time. Every time I would hit it, it would wobble from left to right. The cymbal stands were duct taped together, and I think after two or three times playing the kit, the pedalboard actually broke in half because it was made of that crappy old fake metal."[5]
In 2014, he contributed several drum tracks to the Testament album Dark Roots of Earth Slipknot single "The Negative One ". He dismissed this in a later interview.[6]

On July 19, 2019, after a year in which he did not tour with the band, Adler parted ways with Lamb of God. Art Cruz later became his permanent replacement.[8]
In September of 2019, Adler took a job at The Home Depot in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia. Chris is an Associate Store Manager, providing warehouse and store management services.[9]
