My name is Holly Rains, and I am an active drummer. I am always on the lookout for new projects/opportunities so please do not hesitate to ask if you are interested in collaborating.
My accomplishments as a drummer, so far, are as follows:
KEYDRAGON is a Gothic Metal band based in Northern California. In 2008, I signed on to record drums for the group's 7th album titled, 'Dragon Mythos'. I hope to work with KeyDragon on many albums to come! Visit www.myspace.com/keydragon or www.keydragon.com
DRIVER is a variety cover band specializing in Classic Rock and Funk, mainly. We aren't playing too many shows these days but, we're just your common bar band. This band is really where I got my start as a drummer; if not for this group, I would have never acquired the attributes I possess today.
I played with a Metal/Jazz/Experimental group, WALKING VOID, for about a year. Visit www.myspace.com/walkingvoid and see what those guys are all about.
Born in May of 1985, my musical journey began when I picked up a guitar at the age of eight. I dedicated myself to the instrument for many years. When I was sixteen, I participated in the famous battle of all ego-maniacs, Guitar Center's 'Guitarmageddon'. I managed to snatch up the first place spot in the Bakersfield store preliminaries, however I failed to deliver at the store finals and unfortunately was not able to advance any further in the competition... which means I didn't win the car... Life goes on... Somewhere in the middle of all that, I noticed I had become somewhat... arrogant. So I decided to take a break from the guitar, step back and just play music for ME and for fun- I no longer wanted to use it as means to prove myself in any way. It was about this time when I first sat behind a drumset- aside from the Muppet Babies kit my parents bought me when I was 3- I immediately took a liking to the instrument and immediately discovered I could keep a beat. After that, it was all over for me- I had caught the Drum Stoke. So I guess I technically started drumming when I was about seventeen. I still pick up a guitar every now and then but I TRULY found solace in drumming. I use PDP drums and Zildjian cymbals.
