About this user
I'm an intermediate drummer. I can usually be found drumming most of the day, or whenever I can. All That Remains is a HUGE influence on my drumming. Inspired me to grab a double bass pedal and a china cymbal, which are both used quite alot in their music. I'm trying to find ways to help get my double bass speed up, so if I make any cover with alot of intense (fast) double bass, don't be surprised if I don't execute it perfectly for now.
In my spare time when I'm no drumming, I can usually be found either playing Halo: Reach or Madden NFL 11. Sometimes I pull out Call of Duty for a bit, but I kinda drifted away from playing it after people left World at War for Black Ops.

FAQ and Opinions:
Q: What Bands might you cover?
A: Trying to figure out some All That Remains songs, and Bullet for my Valentine songs. May also cover some bands such as Seether, Darius Rucker, Nickelback, and many more.
Q: Any style preferences?
A: Metalcore drumming's what I stick to, but I will cover anything except for Death metal and heavier (Jazz is also on the 'un-preferred' list of styles. Although, if requested, I will still take it into consideration. lol)
Q: Do you play any other instruments?
A: I play a little bit of piano. That's about it aside from drums.
Q: Who are your influences?
A: Jason Costa (ATR) is my biggest influence. But, I have a few more. I try and combine techniques that drummers use to get better at what they're noted for. So I'll try some fast paced Tre Cool (Green Day) songs to help my hand speed, some Jason Costa for double bass speed, some Silent Civillian to help with moving my hands all around the kit, and Trivium is also a good band for me to drum to when I wanna move around the kit, seeing as their ex drummer was noted for his skill at intense tom fills like in 'Pull Harder'.
