Band Members: Check out the band profiles on my top friends!
Influences: I enjoy listening to anything that conveys and evokes emotion: marsvolta, JR Brown, mudvayne, Radio head, Medeski, Sounds of Animals Fighting , a lot of country: classic , outlaw and western swing ,but nothing current .Theose bands that Ive listed here are bands that I enjoy. I try not to emulate them any more then I have to . I work in cover bands and learn the material well, but I also pride myself on playing originally in other facets. No matter how ridiculous Danny Carry is the world does not need another. Remember this next time your emulating the corner of the market. Before you can truly be original you must first forget all you've seen and heard. easier said than done. No one can tell me that I sound like someone else because my sound is my own. My voice and my words, spelled out with my rhythms .
Sounds Like: I like to think of my style as being half hippy and half heavy metal, except when Im playing country or blues because then Its half Hippy half hay ride LOL...
I play a Tama Starclassic its a couple years old and sounds pretty good Im using Evans clear EC2s on all my toms which include 10" and 12" rack toms and 14" and 16" floor toms" I use an Aquarian super kick 1 on my 22" kick drums batter side on the front of the bass drum I use a super kick with the pre made hole(clean black)I use a Aquarian double kick pad (for durability) I place 2 Evans Eq pillows inside pushed up against each head . I usually use a 14' maple snare that came with the kit and I play it with a Remo coated emperor. as far as my heads go I use what works best for the kit. some times Ill use some moon gels or gaffers tape as a dampener depending on the room. the cymbals are all As and Ks i have a 20" k hybrid ride and the rest is nothin special. I plan on buying all new gear in the near future ,but I havnt decide yet on what I will buy.
Type of Label: Major
