ABOUT

I am looking to play extreme metal, primarily drums. I can blast around 180bpm cleanly, d-beats, gallops, fills, you name it. On keyboards, I am rather competent, possessing advanced music theory knowledge and a good ear for finding melodies. I'd like to be focused on drums, though.

Outside of metal drumming, I have an okay swing, and can play shuffles, breakbeat patterns, and other funky stuff. I'm no one-trick pony!

Preferred genres are heavy metal, thrash, speed, doom, black metal, death metal, grindcore. I have a thing for cheesy 80s thrash and US power metal.
