I am very outgoing and am always looking to have fun and meet new people.
My name is Troy Rimstad. I was born September 20th 1972 in Everett WA.
I was pretty much raised on Kiss in the 70's as well as a little
Sabbath.
I would air drum to kiss and all of the early hard rock/metal
bands whenever my brothers would play them. They were really into
Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queen and as stated above Black Sabbath.
I started playing seriously around 1991 when the big grunge era started
taking off here in Seattle WA.
I liked Alice In Chains, Soundgarden,Pearl Jam, Candlebox and The Screaming Trees.
What really got me into extreme metal though was when I first heard Pantera.
That band was just so bad ass to me. I emediately thought Vinnie Paul was a god.
My main influeces are Vinnie Paul (Pantera), Tim "Herb" Alexander (Primus),
Danny Shuler (Biohazard, Donald Tardy (Obituary) and the list goes on and on. Previous bands
that I was in were Spatula City, then we changed our name to The
Shanghai killers. I was out of the music scene for a little while
after I left that band for stupid reasons that I would never get
myself into again and moved out to Reno for a few months.I realized how important that playing music was to me, so I moved back to Seattle
and started Drown Mary. I also have a side project that I am
currently in called Sporicyde. It's more of an aggressive stoner rock
type band with a bunch of buddies from various other local metal and
Death metal bands.
My current drumset is a Yamaha, which has been a killer kit to me.
I have been playing Sabian Cymbals religiously since I first started
playing as well as Promark drumsticks.
I went through numerous sets of double bass pedals until I found the ultimate in my
new Iron Cobra Chrome double bass pedals. When I am not playing my drums in the band's,
I like to hang out with friends that I have made through the music
scene and my family when I can. I have also started to produce local
bands when I have the time.
I am very excited about the future of Drown Mary and cannot wait to bring
our music to your town!!!!!
