Pistol Pete aka- Stix Of Doom, Beatz Of Death

I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!

About Me

I'm a freelance Drummer and live in the NYC area. I play, tour and record whenever the Gods Of Rock summon my skills. I play in a variety of musical situations. I've played with many artists in different styles ranging from Jazz to Rock. Country to Latin. I'm not a musical whore and only play music I like. Life is too short to pimp yourself out for bad music. I'm inspired by life and funny people. I'm a massive fan of anything having to do with David Lynch, Great White Sharks, old school horror movies, and Mel Brooks. I like people with big personalities. I also like people who take chances in life and don't settle for other people's ideas how life should go. I don't have time for suckas who like to argue about politics, religion, and anything else under the sun. IM ALSO NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR WACK ASS MYSPACE BAND OR BEING ADDED AS YOUR FRIEND WITHOUT A MESSAGE OR SOMETHING.WHO DO I WANT TO MEET?1)People who curse when they have an orgasm.2)The ghost of Marty Feldman.3)People who like Rock and Roll.4)Anyone who doesn't weigh 90 lbs, wears bright t-shirts and calls themselves EMO.5)Grace Slick back in the day at Woodstock.6)Olivia Newton John in the "Let's Get Physical" video.I love playing the drums. . I've been spanking the cans since age 7 and will never stop. Honestly, I don't think I can stop. That's what I used to tell my 3rd Grade teacher everytime she gave me a warning for banging on the school desk!I'm half Japanese so i've been probally eating Sushi before you even knew what Sushi was.
