*I started playing drums in 1991 in Utica, NY. I have played in numerous classic rock, metal, and punk bands. I also have experience in pop and blues, and a little jazz and hip-hop. I played in a church band for five years. I have done some home and studio recording since 1991.
*Some bands in the past:
--Wreckless Abandon (Dead Kennedys-esque punk)
--Silly Froggy (garage band)
--Nemesis (name already taken)----> ArayA (metal)
(ArayA's first show was on KROCK in Utica, NY)
--Our Saviour Lutheran Church Worship band
--Black River Revival (classic rock)
--Shared Madness (singer-songwriter, think Pink Floyd-meets Beatles-meets Meatloaf-meets Billy Joel)
--Proximity Effect (80s early 90s multi-genre)
--Full Metal Jacket (80s-early 90s metal)
--The Garbles (all-genre mashups, called "acoustic fury")
--Nod (gothic rock and metal) ---> absorbed into ArayA (punk/gothic rock/rockabilly)
--Succumb to the Symptoms (80s-90s-early 2000s rock and alternative)
--Blackdeth (doom/progressive metal, St. Louis)
--My Eternal Pain (gothic metal)
--'45 (Social Distortion tribute)
--The Reformed (new project- Christian rockabilly, looking for guitar)
*Accepted to The Collective, PIT, and Julliard (unfortunately I was unable to attend.)
*Member of the Disabled Drummers Association.
*I am also an ordained conservative Christian minister of the Reformation persuasion.
*If interested, my wife is also a bass player and singer (punk/alt) and her username/URL is "heather-mathews".
