About Me

Hello, I'm Alex (known to many as Al, call me what you'd like). I'm 21, and I'm a junior at Bridgewater State College majoring in Theatre Arts. I'm a drummer (have been for 10 years). My biggest drumming influences are Neil Peart (Rush) Ringo Starr (The Beatles), Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa/ Sting/Megadeth), and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater/Liquid Tension Experiment). I play with my band, Big Bad Bobby & the Shoe Horns. We're a fun loving bunch who just want to play great, fun music, and and try to incorporate many styles of music in our playing.
