I have been playing drums all my life. Im currently playing a melodic hardcore band called Bloodshed Promise (www.myspace.com/bloodshedpromise). I am wanting to take my drumming career to the next level and looking for musicians/bands that I go to that level with but are already there. I have played in the studio multiple times and play with a click track each time. Ive done metal albums, rock albums, jazz albums and even did a track on a country album. My main genre of music is hard rock and heavy metal (but ofcourse open to other genres like those). I able to play at fast tempos and specialize in double bass at those tempos. I am currently in college but if the opportunity came up where I could go touring or anything of that matter, I would not let school hold me back. Drumming is what I want to do with my life. I know I am still young and its tough finding a band at the level of commitment I am looking for that would be willing to take me at my age but if given a chance, I bet I can make you forget about my age.

UPDATE: I am Now 21. I am playing in fulltime band called A FRIEND CALLED FIRE (www.myspace.com/afriendcalledfire)
I was also apart of another band called Lower Wacker for a while (www.myspace.com/lowerwacker)

You can also hear another album I did for SIXSPEED DYNAMITE www.myspace.com/sixspeedynamite

Influences:

I think my main drumming influence is Bonham. He kept his drum beats in the songs straight foward. Didnt try to be fancy with crazy drum fills but did exactly what the songs needed and I would say thats exactly what I try to do with my drumming. But, that doesnt mean I cant do that kind of CRaZy stuff. Other influences would be Danny Carey (TooL), John Otto (Limp Bizket), Tomas Haake (Meshuggah), Buddy Rich (RIP), Vinnie Colaiuta (I Dont even know anymore), Keith Moon (The Who(RIP)), last but not least Ringo Starr and many more
