I'm the former drummer for the Sinister Element from Orlando, Florida. To our dismay, our guitarist decided that our music was not what he had invisioned it to be, so he dropped the ball. Anyway, I have looked into other avenues and projects so keep your eyes peeled.
I've been playing the drums professionally for nearly 7 years, and I have a long past in percussion. I received the gift of being able to pick up an instrument with little or no guidance whatsoever. I feel blessed with the ability that I was given.
