Influences: Drummers with a strong groove. Those who aren't flashy but very consistant and play for the music instead of trying to show off everything they can do in every song.
Sounds Like: I proudly play and endorse Serpent Cymbals. I am currently using their 17" and 15" sidwinder models. I am the first person in the WORLD to own the new 15". (Besides the inventor of course.) They sound like a cross between a fast crash and a chinese cymbal. You can check them out at http://www.serpentcymbals.com. Look for me on their "New Endorsers" page. The owner and inventor of Serpent, Steve Croteau, is the man who taught me how to play.I own 2 drum kits. One is a vintage 60's Gretsch set that I restored myself. It is a work of art.
The other is a new Pearl Reference Series set. It is gorgeous! I chose the Rootbeer Fade finish. They sound great! I used them to record the Andy Browning Band's demo as well as the new Black & Tann album.
