About Me

"Kit pounder Scozz, who is a giant of a man, slammed the skins so hard I thought the snare would be toast." Lucky- Sugarbuzz Magazine
Drummer For Atlanta Hard Rock Band Asphalt Valentine
I have been a drummer for 29 years. I have toured the country and have been through the meat grinder known as "The Music Industry". The music I make now is for me and for fun, if something comes of it that just makes it that much sweeter; icing on the cake so to speak. I'm not some poser who is here to save rock and roll, I have already walked the walk so I guess that entitles me to talk the talk. I am not trying to be cocky it's just there are so many posers out there with a million pics on thier pages and coming soon websites...but where is the music?
With me what you see is what you get and I have been a rocker for a long time.
I have my own line of sticks from Drum Stick Manufacturer Custom Drumsticks and Custom Jean Maker Pimp My Jeans.com. Check them all out in my "Top Friends List".
My current band is "Asphalt Valentine". This band is plain old straight up hard rock and roll. Raw basic guitars, raspy bluesy vocals, hooks and solid bass lines. No pompus pyrotechnical shredding faster than light guitar riffs (not that there is anything wrong with that mind you) or 2 octave vocal screams or grunts, just enuff meat, potatoes and gravy to satisfy your basic Hard Rock hungry fan. ;)
