Hello there. I'm Tommy Van Hamer.
I've been a drummer since I was 18, and have been actively playing drums for 14 years. I was in a Praise and Worship band for 3 years in which we played at numerous retreats around the state, and several times out of state. Our biggest gig was the First Annual Catholic youth conference to a crowd of nearly 1000 people.
I have been the drummer of my church choir band for the last 12 years, and the main drummer for nearly 10 of those 12 years.
Music is my ultimate passion in life. My dream life has always been to be a professional drummer recording albums, and touring. Nothing compares to the adrenaline of playing live on stage.
I want to either create a new band based around my biggest musical influences or join a band that I could connect with and create incredible new music with. I'm a team player, and love meeting new people. I'm very committed, and I would give my everything to my band as it's my dream life career.
