I have been pounding the skins since I was in the fourth grade. I have only taken about 6 months of private lessons and most of my skill is based on playing to music in which I ahve gotten pretty good at. I think that one of my best talents as a drummer is the ability to listen to most songs once or twice and being able to play it. As far as technical drumming is concerened I could always use work. I have been in a number of bands that no one has known about "Mud Foundation", "Anything Else", "J.Pru" and my current project "Drift". I play on a six piece Tama Starclassic with Pearl Hardware and Zildjian Cymbals. Check out my bands Myspace page, there is not much up right now since we are in pre-production for our demo but things should start happening more in the next couple of months.
