The Drummer for BEARTOOTH, BLUE SHABOO & MYMK, Billings Montana. Danny has been known to be called a power drummer with his innovative fills and double kick patterns. He started playing drums at the age of 11 and has been playing ever since.After seeing a Drum Exhibition put on by Louie Bellson in the Shrine Auditorium in 4th grade and also being influenced by the Rock & Glam of KISS and drummer Peter Criss, he knew that’s what he wanted to do. He started taking private lessons at Droste’s Drum Den from Gary Brooks, playing in the Will James J.R. High School Band and was in his first garage band in 8th Grade. He has enjoyed having the pleasure of playing with some of Billings’ most profound musicians and bands throughout the years after his return in 1994. Only the future will tell.“Nobody is any better than anybody else. We all just have different styles. We can learn from and take from each other, then make them our own. It takes more to be in a band than just playing your instrument. Attitude, Personality, Sociability, Patience and last but not least the Skills! You need to have the whole package to be successful."Favorite Quotes: “If you keep doing what you love, eventually people will notice.†Chris Polland."No Excuses, No Inhibitions, No Exceptions!""If it's too loud, you're too old!""Keep On Keepin' On!"Current Setups:Gretsch Drums or Pearl Drums,Sabian Cymbals,Zidjian Cymbals,Sure Microphones,Remo Pinstripe Heads,Aquarian Heads, TAMA Iron Cobra Double Pedal, Pearl & Tama Stands, Zildjian Sticks...
