About Me

I'm a drummer.I've been drumming since I was in vetro. For as long as I can remember I've always had a pair of drumsticks in my hands, playing and pounding rhythms on something, be it pots & pans, tables, my body, whatever is within reach in that moment. Music takes up the majority of my life and all genres are good in my book. If it has a pulse or a groove then it's cool by me.I love art, music, design, drumming (above all), and just living life as each day comes and goes. As they say, every dawn is a new beginning. I don't want to look back on my life when I'm old and think "why didn't I do that?" or "Wouldn't it have been cool if I'd done this?". We're put on this earth to live, so why not get out there and go for it? You only get to do this stuff once................................................ ...............................................

My Interests

Music, movies, art, design, fine arts, Socializing, building and customizing drums, teaching drum lessons, and over all PERFORMING----------------------

I'd like to meet:

Those who are driven and are goal oriented, positive thinkers, creative minds, anyone who is open to any and all types of music, Non-Self Destructive people, individuals who are down to earth.www.myspace.com/drumgodpc www.youtube.com/drumgodpc3
