Petition to get "Animal" on the cover of Modern Drummer Magazine.

Honor the man behind "Animal" The Muppet drummer! 
Ronald 'Ronnie' Thomas Verrell (21 February 1926 – 22 February 2002)

FROM WIKIPEDIA:  Ronnie Verrell was a veteran drummer from the UK. Ronald 'Ronnie' Thomas Verrell (21 February 1926 – 22 February 2002) was an English jazz drummer. He played in two of the United Kingdom's "most famous" big bands, The Ted Heath Orchestra and The Syd Lawrence Orchestra. Verrell also worked extensively in television, including as a drummer in Jack Parnell's ATV Orchestra and Sunday Night at the London Palladium. He also provided the drumming for The Muppet Show's Animal, and was a "Skinnerette" on The Frank Skinner Show.

Verrell also performed in several television shows, including The Muppet Show where he played drums for the show's manic puppet drummer, Animal.  When American drummer Buddy Rich, one of Verrell's heroes, guested on the show, Verrell (as Animal) had a drumming duel with Rich, and won after Animal smashed a snare drum over Rich's head.
