I have been playing the drums since I was 7 years old, I come from a family of musicians and music runs in my veins. I have studio experience , I can read and write music for the drums, I have a basic understanding for other instruments.
I work great with others. being a musician, one has to be able to work well with others. It is my opinion that bands are no different than sports teams. Each member has to work together to win the game and crowd. In our instance our win is composing perfect pieces of music, but both athletes and musicians has to win over the crowd.
