About Me

Lets see.. playing drums off and on for about 12 years. self taught. currently playing drums at church and with some friends out side of church. Hope to make it down to the Collective in NY (basically just a music college) some day and study the drums down there.I like to play paintball.. thats another great stress releaf. a little texas hold'em playing some hockey are great forms of ballanceing stress too.. Myspace LayoutsYOU MIGHT BE A DRUMMER IF....you insist on spending an hour tuning your snare, even though no one can hear the difference.you accidentally slam on the brake or gas mistaking it as a bass drum pedal.you think listening to Dream Theater is "WORSHIPPING."you tell the people at restaurants who sing and clap "Happy Birthday" that they are out of tempo.you've ever tried to play any other instrument with drumsticks.your style of dancing involves slapping your thighs and pounding your feet.while everyone else is dancing at a club, your girlfriend watches your prowess on air drums.you play the drum part on a song and ask someone if they recognize the song.you play soft rock songs on the steering wheel.you can find the beat the first five seconds of the song.your friends tell you to stop hitting them in your sleep.you "play" your pen and pencil on your desktop in all your classes.you are always yelled at by the band director to spit your gum out, because there is no gum allowed in the band room.your house constantly vibrates.you're known as "that drummer kid."you freak out when someone else is behind your drum set, and warn them about breaking a head (even though they only hit your drums with 1/10th the force you use)20% or more of last year's income was spent on new cymbals.you've ever dropped a stick while playing and not noticed.you have ever lost your grip on a stick, and it hit you in the face after rebounding off of a drum head.you've ever taken longer than 30 seconds to realize that the rest of your band has stopped playing.you've ever set your pants on fire because a cigarette fell out of your mouth an you continued to play anyway.you've ever tried to show your guitarist a riff using your drum set.you've ever written something on guitar and at least 75% percent of the notes were muted.you've ever taken baton lessons to learn to twirl your sticks.you were kicked out of your school band for always insisting on a solo.

My Interests

Music of course.. playing drums mainly.. a little guitar once in a while.. singing yadda yadda.. playing paintball. hanging out with friends, what ever really.. pretty much if you can have fun doing it. i just might like it lol

I'd like to meet:

other musicians that want to jam, especially singers. i can sing, but i drum i like to move around to much when i drum so singing doesnt work. not looking for musicians to jam with as much now.. they guys ive been jamming with have finally started getting regulars to show up all the time.. but we still will welcome people to come jam with us.people to hang out with. what ever really.Buddy Rich

Books:


You are a pheonix. You're quiet, and you don't
really like to have attention drawn to
yourself. You hate it when everyone's staring
at you. You get nervous in most crowds,
except with your friends. You're smarter than
people make you out to be, and you're very
creative.
