Johnny “Bee” Badanjek’s resume in the music biz is so long – we can’t even list it all here.

One of the biggest names he’s worked with is Alice Cooper, as his drummer both on the road and in the studio.

But, now Johnny “Bee” is now breaking out with his own solo project.

The 73-year-old just released Arc of the Sweeping Sky, his first-ever album as a frontman, under the name Johnny Bee and the Murder Hornets.

Earlier this year, Cooper gushed to UltimateClassicRock.com about his pal. “Johnny Bee is just so good. The guy is rock-n-roll … He’s right up there with all the greats.”

Who would you put at the top of your list as one of the best drummers ever in rock?
