So much to say here, not sure where to begin,
I've been playing drums and percussion since middle school, was in band, then on drumline, and played a little in college, and took lessons until my instructor ran out of material to teach. So I'm familiar with every genre, every style and almost every noise maker or drum or whatever imaginable.
I've been in many bands since high school, all different styles, punk, alt rock, and more. The 2 most notable; Distant Realms- a fantasy themed prog metal, and my current project Fifteenth Summer- dark and poppy alt rock with elements of metal and industrial/electronica. I also rock out to gospel music every sunday when I play drums for the choir at my church. I'm no stranger to the stage with over 100+ gigs under my belt. My first studio venture was in 8th grade and I have been in and out who knows how many times.
Though drums are my primary instrument I dabble with other instruments from time to time. I currently do not own anything but I have taught myself to play piano and keys which came easily after learning mallet instruments in school, I've picked up how to play guitar and bass a little just by hanging out with so many musicians. I experiment with drum machines and other electronics pretty frequently and I have a pro tools rig and midi controller that I use to work on my solo project.
