ABOUT

Hey my name is Benji. I was raised in the middle of nowhere Larsen, WI. I started playing piano at age 5. Took 6 years of lessons and then taught myself. Took 2 years of guitar and now tinker. Took 1 year of extreme fusion style drumming and then found a band called 'The Most' from detroit. Played with them for 3 years before moving back to appleton. 'The Most' has opened for such bands as MxPx, Switchfoot, and Tree 63. Well versed in many types of drumming styles

EQUIPMENT

I currently own a mid-80s Ludwig kit, equipped with a set of roto-toms, a 22" Zildgian Platinum, and 3 other cymbals. I also use Vic Furth SAA2. Which is technically a timbala stick but i prefer the bouce.
