Hello,
(If anyone is looking to play anything like Animals as Leaders contact me)
My name is Stewart and I've been playing drums pretty much all my life. My dad played drums in the 60s for a band named Midnight out of Atlanta. I started playing seriously I guess around the age of 12 when I was in the school jazz ensemble. Then in high school I was also in the marching band playing snare. I guess you could say that's where I got my chops, or at least rudiments. I went to college at UNC and majored in music and studied with Thomas Taylor, primarily learning jazz. I also did a stint in the percussion ensemble playing all sorts of things including marimba and vibes. That didn't last very long as I wanted to get back on the kit. I had a band called Bobby Dazzler throughout college and we had a lot of fun, published an album, moved to LA and the dream evaporated into job searches. I started doing the studio thing and bounced around from band to band playing everything from country to hip hop to rock. I shelved playing for a couple of years while I went back to school to be an art director, moved to NYC, got a practice space, and I've been playing every week for more than two years and it just occurred to me that I'm probably going crazy because I need to play in a band or at least with other musicians. So here I am. KTHXBYE

Low End Kick Theory
Low End Kick Theory Track number: 1 Year: 2006 Album: Unknown Genre: Hip Hop/Rap
This was a track I laid down for some rock song but I was playing around for this take and gave it a way more laid back feel and in the mix we gave the bass drum some more low end and it worked better for hip hop.
