Lars Ulrich

Lars Ulrich (born December 26 1963) is the drummer of Metallica, which many consider to be the biggest thrash metal band of all time. He was born in Gentofte, Denmark to an upper-middle class family and worked in a gas station and as a paper boy during his childhood and teens. Ulrich moved to Los Angeles, California at the age of seventeen. At the age of thirteen he begged his grandmother to buy him his first drum kit. The kit was a Ludwig because he wanted to have the same drum kit as Ian Paice of Deep Purple. After publishing an advertisement in a local Los Angeles newspaper, called The Recycler, he met James Hetfield and created a band whose name would be well-known for millions of people world wide—Metallica.
