About Me

Welcome to my page. I'm Jason Blaze. I've been playing drums my entire life (since the age of two.) I'm very opened minded and diversified and energetic. I like most types of music. Heavy metal, Blues, And classical music. I feel music soothes the soul and gives the mind a sense of adventure. But I prefer to play Heavy Metal Music. That's where my adventure starts. I'll try to stick to the basics here!!. I play on a ten piece double bass drum kit, custom made by Sunlite drums. I was their first customer in the history of their company to order a custom made drum kit from them. They have a kick ass sound, with six rack toms, two floor toms. two 24 inch bass drums and a 14 inch snare. The bass drums sound like thunder. I call it!! The white beast!. They are the best drums I have ever played on. I use Vic Firth Sticks. And My drumheads are by Remo. And my cymbals are by Sabian. I also use Pearl hardware stands and bass pedals. Simply the best. That sure sounds like alot of eqipment doesen't it? I'm also very advanced in playing guitar and bass Guitar. But I prefer Playing the drums. That's where I come alive! Heavy Metal music is like going on an adventure. you'll never know where it will take you. And that's where the adventure starts. I call it!! Into the unknown. Its nice to see musicians such as myself, reaching for their dreams and goals on what they want to do in life. That's what music and life should be all about. It's the sound of perseverance. And always tell yourself you can achieve anything if you believe. Never giving up. And never settling for less. I'm an easy going person I'm open minded regarding other peoples opinions. I like meeting new people and hearing their thoughts and opinions about music and their instruments. And the fun part is learning from other musicians and seeing what they do and how they play as well. Its a rewarding experience and I never get board with it. You are never too old to learn something new. I believe anyone can do what I do and get what they want out of life. I wouldent want my life any other way. Its the challenge, determination and experience that keeps me playing drums. I also like Writing music and lyrics. It keeps me motivated with drive all the time. Ideas of the mind will flow with the intensions of the heart and your creativity will follow. Lyrics is also a great way to communicate with people. And being optimistic is a good way to discipline yourself. This is my optimistic statement. In order for anyone to get where they wanna be in life it takes lots of practice and strength. And it takes alot of skill and hard work and stamina. And most important of all the magic word is? Patients. The more you practice the better you will become and the better you will feel about yourself in the long run. Practice is a good way to condition yourself. Train of thought. Always follow your heart. because that's where your dreams will be waiting. And dreams don't happen by accedent. Never give up hope. I didn't. You can do the same. Reach out and grab it. And keep reaching for the stars and never look back. The message is this!! There is only one simple rule that I think applies to everyone. And that one rule is always put one foot in front of the other with each day. And take it one small step at a time toward success. Take it one day at a time. Life has its ups and downs. But never failure. It's all about winning and enjoying the passion of music. And to me? music is life. I also believe that musical talent is a gift. A timeless gift. Use that talent with pride and respect to yourself. Because there are some people who dont have that gift. Be creative with your talent. Think of playing your instrument as an art!! That's the whole adventure of it all. You'll never know what kind of picture will come out after you paint it. Wherever you are at in life? Musical inspiration is another good tool to have and to use. Think positive as much as possible. And try to think with an opened mind. And always remember to follow your dreams. You Will never know Where they will take you next in life. Because Life is full Of suprises. Good and bad. If you just keep your feet on the ground And think with a positive attitude anything is possible. Because the posibillities are endless if you stick to your guns. Just roll with it. What you put into your music is what you will get out of it. Always follow your heart Because your heart will never let you down. You only have one mind and one heart. Use it!. Let your passion burn inside you with good inentions. Metal music will live on wherever we may be in life. Play your music loud and proud. Be true to yourself. Enjoy it while you can and forever more. Because adventures of the heart will bring you happiness and a sound mind. Because there is no room for negativity. And life is too short. Imagine what great things you can do in a whole lifetime!. This is only the beginning of something wonderful. A great adventure. The gift of talent. Because feeling good about what you do in life is the key. And that one life is all we get. The more that you are creative with your talent!! The better you will become. And the easier things will get and the more knowledge and experience you will have to share with other musicians about music. Your talent is A gift. Use it with strength and share it with others. Remember!! This isint all about me!! It's about you. By the way?? The name of my band is called WICKED WALTZ. We are an up and coming new melodic power metal band. Check us out sometime. Untill then?? UP THE IRONS. CHEERS. plain layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet new and exciting people in the music buisness and learn more about the buisness. The brighter side of the buisness at least!. And I love to be around people who are positive about life in general. And meeting new people is a good way for me to get different new inspirations out of life With A positive spirit. Learning is a proccess. I could tell more. But!! I hope you get the picture. Good attitudes and honesty are A must in my book. Only because I am an easy going person to get along with. And I am vibrant about life and very energetic about new people that I meet. I dont like people who have egoes or create drama or judge others. That's a bad combinantion! Life can be a freakshow sometimes. I dont judge anyone regardless for who they are or what they do or what kind of music they play or their lack of inexperience. I dont play games with anyone. I try to be always understanding and help other musicians who cannot find their own direction. I try to give the best advice to musicians the best I know how. I get to the point. And it is always better to give than recieve. And it is always better to live life to the fullest because life is too short to be cheating yourself. Work hard and never burn your bridges on the way up because you will never know when you might need them on your way back down. Don't ever short change yourself and never look back. An open mind begins with an open heart and a good attitude. Passion and determination and stength is the only key you will ever need to use. Faith cannot hurt either!! I am just A serious musician who likes to take my passion and fun seriously. And I also have fun doing it. Music is a great positive way to express yourself. And it also takes a peacefull sound mind and drive to make that happen. Music is your passion. And Remember!! you can't win if you don't try. The music buisness doesen't always have to be about the $money. It's about influancing others in a positive sense. And not too many people don't make it in this buisness because of their lack of motivation in not trying. So! give it your best shot anyways while you can. The music buisness is a dog eat dog world. You have to step up to the plate and show what you are all about and don't waste time. And if you don't know what you are doing! you will get eaten. And The music buisness isin't all about what you know!! It's who you know. And it's who you know that will get you there. If you are lucky!! you just might find the right people at the right time to help get you started in the world of music and beyond. Make yourself usefull and that's how succesess starts and grows and you will continue to grow and the better off you will be. You are never too old to learn something new. It takes $money to make $money in this buisness. Think positive, You can get there if you don't do drugs and focus on creativity. Music is an adventure and a way of life. You only live once, Live it! And to me!! Music is life!! CHEERS!!

Music:

I've been playing drums since the age of two and bass and guitar since the age of seven. I started playing in small night clubs at the age of seven in a top 40 cover band. I formed my own band by the age of 14 in 1983. It was then that I started playing double bass and I have been playing that way ever since that time. Most all of my conversations are about music or the history of music. Or the history of Drummers who are now famous today. I like to take my conversations about music to the next level if it is possible. The list goes on and on. My influences are: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Death, Overkill, Dream Theater, Dio, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, AC/DC, U.F.O., Anthrax, Black Sabbath and Testament. My drum influences are: John Bonham, Nicko Mc Brain, Scott Travis, Bill Ward, Mikky Dee, Cozy Powell, Vinny Appice, and Alex Van Halen.

My bands ad as seen in the PROGPOWER IX magazine.

Movies:

I like Action Adventure Films. And haunting films. And sometimes going to movie theaters. These are just some of my personal favorite movies!! Lord Of The Rings, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Gladiator, Troy, Con Air, Rambo, Cliff Hanger, Die Hard, Verdical Limit, Independance Day, Battlefield Earth, Stealth, Rock Star, The Rock, K 19, U571, The Hunt For Red October, The Village, The Score, The Scorpion King, The Seige, Reign Of Fire, Deja Vu, Unbreakable, Heat, Spider Man, Halloween, Poltergiest.

Television:

I don't watch TV much unless of course it's about Baseball, WWII planes fighter jets,or WWII history. And sometimes the news and sci fi movies. TV is not what it used to be anymore. TV has become too complicated these days. I would rather settle for the DVD player.

Books:

I read non fiction books and the news paper. Nothing beats relaxing with a good book or having a good laugh sometimes. You'll never know what you might learn from reading a good book.

Heroes:

My heros and biggest influance is IRON MAIDEN.
