ABOUT

First and foremost, I follow Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and every time I put my hands on a drumstick I play for the glory Jesus Christ!
I am a dedicated drummer very familiar with all sorts of time signatures. (even and odd)
I love working with things like polyrhythms and beat displacmewhile any other blizzard/unheard of ideas you throw at me. I'm also interested
in Theory. I've taken Theory 1 and 2 and Aural Skills.
I'm very much interested in for forming a band that is unique in every aspect. A band that isnt afraid to use obscure meters but also isnt afraid to like Coldplay, but yes unique is key. Mike Portnoy basically taught me drums and so I think much like Dream Theater as far as composition and technique, but again I aim to mix with different musicians to create something completely new.

(If you are a Dream Theater fan, CONTACT ME. WE ARE ALREADY FRIENDS. ;)
