Influences
Sleep, Soundgarden, Tool, Tame Impala, Nirvana, Mastodon, Pond, Melody’s Echo Chamber, The Babe Rainbow, Alice in Chains, Stoned Jesus.
And that’s really just the surface ones that might get recognized more easily. I try to remain open to genres so I end up taking influence from a lot of places. For example I really don’t like country, but I still have an active project to incorporate the parts that I appreciate into my work.

EQUIPMENT
Individual items will take a while to detail over time, so here's a sufficient summary: like 10 different guitars so that I always have a single coil and a humbucker available in one of 4 tunings, 2 basses for a similar reason, 20+ pedals across 3 boards (many serving similar purposes — I like to have dirt, modulation, and delay on each so technically there are redundancies). A PC capable of recording 16 48kHz mic inputs at once. And a few amps, mostly smaller Fender practice amps that happen to be pretty awesome despite having little following.
Guitars | Common Tunings:
Epiphone Les Paul | Drop C
Custom Telecaster (StewMac Build) | Drop C
Custom Hollowbody SG (Muslady Build) | Open C5
Custom Telecaster (StewMac Build) | Open C5
Epiphone SG Special (Customized) | Drop D and E Standard
Starcaster by Fender | Drop D and E Standard
Squier Stratocaster | Drop D and E Standard
ESP LTD M-17 | E Standard (...or is it B standard? 7 strings are new territory for me)
I almost exclusively use my Fender Frontman 25R as my main guitar amp - its wicked underrated.
Basses | Common Tunings:
Sterling Stingray5 (by Ernie Ball) | CGCFA
Washburn Bantam XB-100 | Drop D and E Standard
Basses go through an Ibanez Sound Wave 25 bass amp
Drums:
Sound Percussion (now known as SPL - Spund Percussion Labs) Kit circa 2014, with the following modifications:
- 18" kick, 16", 14", 13" toms, 14" snare
- Mostly using G2 batter heads with an EMAD batter on the kick, Power Dot on snare, and EMAD resos on all drums except kick (kick still uses stock reso head, modified with paint job)
- Zildjian ZBT 18" Crash/Ride
- Sabian B8 16" Crash/Ride
- Paiste PST-5 Hi-hats
- Pearl double kick pedal
