My interests are simple: DRUMS, MUSIC,LIVE SHOWS, CHICKS with TATTOOS, & GOOD TIMES. Grew up in a small Texas town called Colorado City. Wasn't too bad. About 2 weeks after graduation i moved away. Haven't been back to live, only to visit. What may surprise most people is that i don't listen to just Heavy Metal. I just love music. if it makes my head bounce, or my adrenaline run it's great. I've been drumming since i was a child. When i was 5 years old I attended my first parade and immediately fell in love with the drum section. Since then i've always strived to be the best i can.I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the greatest bands that i've grown to admire, SLAYER, Killswitch Engage, ILL NINO, Mushroom Head, MASTADON, STAIND, 3Days Grace, HURT, UNEARTH, THE DESTRO, TRIVIUM,BLACK LIGHT BURNS (wes borland), CIRCUS DIABLO (w/ Billy Duffy of the Cult), Five Finger Death Punch, DOPE, All that Remains,PUMPJACK,STATIC-X,0T3P, Light the City, Kittie , Powerman 5000, Wicked Wisdom and many locals that have inspired me to better myself.MUSIC IS MY LIFE, DRUMS ARE THE NECTAR, AND THE STAGE IS MY SANCTUARY. I pray i live many years to continue what i love.

*CHINO MORENO of the DEFTONES is the largest musical inspiration in my life. The first time i met and saw him perform my entire view of a live show changed. * BOB NEWMAN: my junior high band director. He encouraged me to practice every day after school. It would drive my parents crazy, but i still got away with it.*FAMILIA: my father RAYMOND SANCHEZ, grandmother CONSUELO SANCHEZ, and oldest sister VALERIE SANCHEZ SOLIZ.
