ABOUT

I'm a firm believer in God, but I'm a lover of all people and beliefs. I write lyrics as well as some music. (God shines through my lyrics, but not in the cheesy Christian contemporary way.) I love a HUGE variety of rock, pop, and alt music. I'd love to be in a band that mixes rock and synth, but pretty much any rock gets me pumped. Soft Rock, Punk, Alt, maybe even some Metalcore stuff. But yeah, I love drumming and I know how to play with a click track.

EQUIPMENT

I have an old DW Pacific kit with slightly worn out hardware. The basic drumkit with a rack and a floor tom, a snare, one crash, one ride, a hi-hat, and the bass drum. My cymbals are a mix between some Zildjian ZBT's and Sabian APX's. My snare is a green Pearl and doesn't match the kit, but it gets the job done.

As for guitars I have a black Fender acoustic, and a decent white Ibanez electric guitar.
