About Me

I am a drummer. Drummers are cool. I play drums in a band called Omni. I also book many shows in the Seattle area for Omni and some other local sick, demented and twisted rock acts. Omni is kinda cool I guess. You don't have to like Omni. Also, you don't have to like me, although I probably wont like you back.So, there should be some drum stuff up here now, I agree. More time is in order so please be patient (I know the demand is incredibly high....) and you will get what you are begging for. I also like sarcasm and the act of being facetious.Omni is working on a new full length album. I am working on finding the time to get shit done and to not go insane. Some background: I grew up in Mass and moved to Seattle. Thats about it.
