We are still reeling from the tragic news that Metal legend Sean Reinert has passed away suddenly at age 48. The world of metal, rock and prog musicians, peers, and friends whose lives were touched by Sean have taken to social media to share their grief, but also their fond remembrances.
OMG I just heard of the passing of one of my favorite drummers and a MASSIVE influence on my drumming, Sean Reinert. Sean’s performance on the Death “Human” album is possibly the greatest metal drumming performance EVER. RIP Sean! https://t.co/UMBhHRcRjB

I’ll never forget seeing Cynic in 1994 in Des Moines IA on tour with Cannibal Corpse & Sinister, Joey Jordison and I were standing behind Sean Reinert’s drum kit for their whole set, with our jaws on the floor. Such a groundbreaking drummer. RIP Sean Reinert @DeathOfficial

We’re shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of former Cynic drummer Sean Reinert.
Sean was a mega-talent, a true giant in whose shadow many walk, and his prodigious skills, warmth, and wit will be sorely missed.
Rest easy, Sean.#SeanReinert pic.twitter.com/XhBpy7pMxc
