I love playing music as well as listening to great musicians. Any style.... as long as the musicianship is different or unique. I love to hear a great musician being able to push his or her own limits. I also like guns. Yea! This is a hot topic. I like offroading (4x4's) ATVing and the outdoors. I like messing around with rebuilding musical instruments, and collecting cool music gear.
Matt Abts from GOV'T MULE. He has inspired me to become a different drummer than everyone else. I will agree that there are alot of awesome drummers out there, and I used to try and play just like them. With Matt though he taught me how to listen to the song and let the song play you, not you play the song. To most drummers you all know what I mean. Give this guy a listen.
