Hi, I'm Dan

About Me



I've been playing the Drums for awhile now and really enjoy making music for myself and other people. At the moment I play drum's for a group called Censura my brother Joe just happens to be in. I also play the drums for the Hip-Hop Group, The Sketch Artists. Both hail from Lawrence Kansas. I'm the head V-Drum programmer for "Steven Slate Drums", a highly acclaimed collection of drum/cymbal samples. I've also recieved a BGS in Psychology from the University of Kansas. On top of all this, I also run a recording studio, The Leaning House Studio, with my brother Joe Kirk.

My Interests

All kinds of Drums and all aspects of musical production/engineering. Learning new things. Working towards something worth working at. Censura and life.
