Hey everybody,
je suis Da Cush and I hit things for kicks. Here's some information on me you probably don't want and most definitely don't need ;-)
Name: S.C. Kuschnerus aka „Kuschi“ aka „Kuschmeister“ aka "Le Kuschnateur" aka "Sweet Catch" aka "So Clutch" aka "Supercushy" aka "Jet80"
Musical background: Started out in the local cathedral choir at age 7, picked up piano lessons shortly thereafter which led nowhere basically cause the teacher and I didn’t give a damn bout each other’s ideas, worked my rear end off during the holidays in order to afford my first shabby drumkit at age 15, started my first band that exact same day with dreams of galaxywide superstardom, reality check, played together with Frank and Chris for the first time at age 19, another failed attempt at the aforementioned superstardom, then I started focussing on recording work as a vocalist on a plethora of different releases, was part of a vocal quartet along with Frank, portrayed/played/sung the villain in a couple of relatively huge musical stage productions, did a bunch of session tours as a hired gun, started working on our own little musical with Chris before deciding that we needed to have a band together again, blackmailed Frank into joining, kidnapped Ji-In, et voilà : Krypteria
Briefly describe your drumming style: In the words of the immortal Jules Winnfield: "I'm a mushroom cloud layin' muthafucker, muthafucker ! I'm like the Guns of the Navarone !!!"
What makes me laugh: Lewis Black's routine, David Addison, watching Pulp Fiction, the Eisen/Sanders/Mariucci trifecta on Total Access, Triumph the insult comic dog and Tap’s Stonehenge episode…over and over again
