ABOUT

My name is Ian. I have been playing the drums since I was 2 years old. I got accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston and was a student there and at the University of Maryland to study music. I recorded 5 songs with a songwriter and a keyboardist when i was 13 years old and one of our songs was played on Baltimore's 98 Rock radio station. We were called "The Next Generation" in 1985. I started playing drum solos in front of people starting in 1st grade school music recitals and talent shows. I was told by family I played the beats along to Gene Krupa at 2 years old and more recently I played studio drums with a Maryland musician named Larry Kessler who in the 1960's started a music group called The Godz. I am a quick learner and a huge huge lover of MANY different types of music.
