Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Soprano, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Vocalist - Alto, Electronic Music.ABOUT
28 years old and 21 years drumming. I started playing as soon as I could hold my father's drumsticks as a toddler. But lets be real, I didn't start actually practicing until 5 or 6. I am the drummer in two bands currently; Thy Antichrist (Black Metal out of Medellin by way of Dallas) and Monotheist (Tech-death out of Florida). Though I excel at extreme metal my passion is in Progressive music. However, I will play just about anything because all styles of music are an opportunity to learn. I've recorded around a dozen albums of various lengths and genres. From a Jazz EP to a Technical Death Metal album to a Pop-punk remix or even a Symphonic Rock demo; if it is well composed, I will play it. Alternatively, you can hire (read: pay) me and I will beat on a bongo drum in my underwear if that's what you want.

No Place Like Hell
No Place Like Hell Track number: 1 Year: 2018 Album: Wrath of the Beast Genre: Metal
The fastest song I've ever recorded at 274bpm. It also happens to be the one I'm most proud of on Wrath of the Beast by Thy Antichrist.

The Great Chain at the Neck of the Earth
The Great Chain at the Neck of the Earth Track number: 2 Year: 2018 Album: Scourge Genre: Metal
One of the more difficult songs on Scourge by Monotheist. Sadly, I've gotten much better at playing this song since recording. Released on Prosthetic Records.
