I started playing for real at fourteen, I messed around with playing a little bit here and there, and I was interested for a while. I joined band because choir didn't have an opening, and my mom said they needed a drummer (they only had 11 members at the time, and I was the only set drummer at the beginning of the year), so I joined, and since I couldn't play at the time, I had to learn fast. It took me about a half a year to know some of the stuff I know (through my dad and good ole Led Zeppelin, lol), then the rest came pretty quick from listening to music, or advice from my dad. I never had formal lessons, I prefer to learn on my own, but I'm not the best at reading music. My first two gigs were at an art center in Marshfield, a little under a year after I started playing, some of the videos are on youtube.

It was either George Jones or Three Dog Night, lol, whichever came first, I went to both with my parents, and I feel both artists have influenced me in different ways.

I play a Ludwig drumset, I'm not sure what model, it's a good one though, the snare drum I currently use is different from the one it came with, it's much deeper, lol. I also have a Fender acoustic, and a Fender HWY1 Strat, US made, very nice, lol, I'm not much of a guitarist, but I can play some, and I use it when I write something.

My first influence was between Elvis and Roy Orbison, the two who're the biggest is Steven Tyler, because he appears genuine, and has a dynamite voice, and John Bonham, because I learned nearly everything I know from listening to Led Zeppelin, and my dad who introduced me to their music.

I've been in a few side gigs, and on occassion play for a church youth group, but I'm currently not in one. I'm looking for dedicated rock musicians, who want to play classic stuff (and I'll play nearly anything else), but that want to eventually write their own material.

Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Jimmy Page, Elvis, and Steven Tyler.

Lol, my biggest was also the smallest, I'd say around fifty, maybe sixty people.

I'd cheat and bring Physical Graffiti. Lol, or maybe With The Beatles.
