About Me

I am the drummer for the band Absent Society, one of the sickest metal bands on the planet!!!! We released our first full-length CD,(The Plastic Parade) in June of 2005, and toured all over the west coast in support of it. We are now in pre-production for our latest release, yet to be titled. You can pick up our previous CDs at Tower, Rasputin, Amoeba, and any major record store in Cali, and some in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Utah. Cd's are also available through our website at www.absentsociety.com
I am also the proud papa of a 4yr old boy named, Adrian. He is my pride and joy! I take him with me everywhere & he's so cute that he gets a smile out of EVERY single person we walk by. He's the greatest thing to ever happen to me. My bestest friend. There's a long tradition of father-son best friends in my family.
I play a marine pearl, DW 6 piece drumset, with a 28" x 20" Bass drum. For those who aren't drummers....that is frickin' HUGE!!!! (imagine a MARCHING bass drum connected to a drumset) All of the drums and cymbals are held in place by a massive, two-tiered Gibraltar drum rack. The drumset definetly gets alot of attention when we play live, but it is our live show that people end up talking about when they leave. We are an extremely intense band to watch live. If we don't walk off the stage bleeding in some way, then the show probably sucked! And yes.....for those I went to school with....I still break more drumsticks than any other human being on the planet! I can't help it! I got issues!
We have Cd's, T-shirts, buttons, stickers, wife beaters, etc... available for sale at www.absentsociety.com or you can email us at: [email protected]
Also we are on myspace. Check us out at: www.myspace.com/absentsociety
