About this user

I don't wanna come off as a jack ass so lemme start out by saying this... I love the drums, thank you for visiting my site, I hope you dig the beats you hear. I play drums because it's really easy for me to express myself through the kit, and I like many others, just can't stop playing. I am not always trying to "cover" the songs I do, but more or less capture what I think is important to the beat, and also my own take on the tune. What I'm trying to say is, I like to make the beat mine. I have huge respect for ANYONE who is good at what they do, especially in the music sense. I hope you all like what you hear, please feel more than free to criticize... I could use the advice.

I am self taught. I have been playing on and off since about 2001, and I currently play a TD-8 Roland electric kit. I do have 2 other acoustic sets, but due to certain circumstances I cannot play them right now. I will be adding more videos as the weeks go by. If you have any requests, (that do not suck =P) please leave them in the comments area.

One day I hope to be good at the drums. Thanks for putting up with me in the meantime.

... There are a ton of other drummers that influenced me, but I just wanted to name a few here and give them their due credit.

I really admire Cobus Potgieter, if you don't know who he is or what he does click here -- http://www.youtube.com/user/deedlebag -- He is an unbiased, genuine, modest, and general all around groovy dude. Did I mention that he constitantly kills every cover he does? Well, ya he does.

I also want to give Mr. Ashbaugh his due credit. I've watched a ton of his videos here and on http://www.drummerconnection.com, very bad ass man. He takes the complex and makes it very understandable. Not to mention he is a damn good drummer.
