About Me

Pleasant good day too everyone. "I'm Obasi and I'm a drummer (no shit eh?) drums are my passion! I also like drawing and I do these activities as much as I possibly can. I play for a band called "The Orange Sky" .If you can check out any or both our cds entitled "UPSTAIRS" and "PSYCHO WORLD." I'm 24 years of age and I was born on the 6th February 1984. I love music. SOME OF MY FAVORITE BANDS AND ARTISTS ARE :TOOL, MESHUGGAH, TRIGGER POINT, DAVE MATHEWS BAND, A PERFECT CIRCLE, ALICE IN CHAINS, BUDDY'S BUDDIES, CHEVELLE, DAVE WECKL BAND, INCUBUS, PLANET X, 311, DEFTONES, STEVE VAI, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, GUNS N' ROSES, NERVE, PEARL JAM, EARTH WIND AND FIRE, BUNJI GARLIN & MACHAEL MONTANO(LIVE), THE ROOTS, METALLICA, MEGADETH, DREAM THEATER, SOUNDGARDEN, BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS, JR GONG, and too many more to list at this particular point in time.My favourite drummers are DANNY CAREY, STEVE GADD, DAVE WECKL, DAVE DI CENSO, MARCO MINNEMANN, VIRGIL DONATI, JOSH FREESE, AKIRA JIMBO, TOMAS HAAKE, VINNIE COLAIUTA, HORACIO "EL NEGRO HERNANDEZ", CARLTON BARETT( OF BOB MARLEY FAME ), JEFF PORCARO, PAUL BOSTAPH, VINNIE PAUL, BUDDY RICH, "PAPA" JO JONES, ROY HANES, GAVIN HARRISON, CARTER BEAUFORD, BENNY GREB, PHIL EHART, JOJO MAYER, STEVE SMITH, CHARLIE ANTOLINI, STEVE GADD, LOCAL DRUMMING HEROES TONY MASON, SEAN THOMAS & RICHARD BAILEY, DENNIS CHAMBERS, BOBBY JARZOMBECK & MANY OTHERS THAT DON'T COME TO MIND RIGHT NOW.I'm tremendously happy to be doing what i am right now and i take the utmost pride in my work! always ready and willing to jam and try out new musical ideas.It is qualities such as these that have assisted in carving Obasi's crushing, powerful, and technical drumming abilities."Thank you for everyone that took the time to check out the band and myself and i hope to see you guys on tour soon!!"Drummer Obasi Springer endorses Yamaha Recording Custom Drums. He is one of the most talented percussionists to arrive on the music scene in years, and he and Yamaha are a perfect match. The Recording Custom kit has a distinct tone, and it has appealed to professional drummers for nearly 30 years. It is the most requested kit with cartage and rental companies, and recording engineers heartily recommend it."They are the best drums in the world. They actually have a 'feel' to them. You can play them as hard as you want and they always sound great!" When not giging or touring with Orangesky I can be found enjoying the gift that is life. OBASI USES AND ABUSES YAMAHA DRUMS, VATER STICKS, EVANS DRUMHEADS AND WISHES TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND GREAT GEAR!!!

You are Lateralus. You are unique, intelligent, and most importantly, an individual. You are probably a leader and you see and do things your own way, which is usually different from the norm. We expect big things to come from you.
