Lars Ulrich

Lars Ulrich, is a Danish drummer best known as co-founder and co-leader (with James Hetfield) of the heavy metal band Metallica.

Born December 26, 1963 in Gentofte (Denmark), within a family of upper-middle class. Being a tennis prodigy in his youth, Ulrich moved to Los Angeles, California, at the age of sixteen to pursue his education, but instead to continue playing tennis, he decided to battery. After publishing an advertisement in a local newspaper in Los Angeles called The Recycler, he met James Hetfield.

His playing is very varied, ranging from the simple rhythms of rock album The Black Album, to the complex and fast parts in many of the themes of the heaviest Metallica albums like Master of Puppets, Ride the Lightning or ... And Justice for All (the latter made some of the most difficult and complex rhythms of all who have the group). It is also recognized as one of the best drummers of all time.
