About Me

Hey whats up, my name is Rob but most people call me by my last name FLOOD. I play drums and it is pretty much my religion. I swear by Zildjian & Sabian cymbals, Tama Maple StarClassic drums, Evans skins, Pro-Mark/Vic Firth sticks and Iron Cobra double kick pedals(the right spring tension is KEY!). Ive learned to play through countless hours of listening and trial and error. Ive never really took Formal lesson's which is mostly bad!! Although i play the lessons from drum magazines now and again and jam to instructional Dvd's. But i am always jamming new extreme shit and try to be as precise as possible. I hate metronomes! Mostly cause i play to one every day and the fact it is never Wrong.. i prefer jamming Live, but jamming to a loud cd is fun as hell too!. Also I Played drums in Metal/Thrash band called "Into The Ashes" and we did some small local shows around Ontario. The band has carried on its metal legacy without me in the lineup due to mutual differences with no hard feelings whatsoever. Those dudes are my Brothers from different mothers and hopefully oneday we can kick some ass again. For the moment i just practise the songs i helped write for them and play covers with my older bro Dimebag Derek. We play everything from Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Slipknot, Sepultura all the way to Jimi hendrix, Van Halen, Kiss, Iron Maiden and other metal/rock and roll bands note for note... well as close as we can!(including Solo's). I am Always working to be a more rounded Drum Master! Anyways i just want to say thanx to anyone who has supported me, my band or my family directly/indirectly you know who you are!! enjoy the site. "I know why your prayers wont be answered...... GOD HATES US ALLL!!"
