Heroes
Hero?..without a doubt my dad. My dad was a
complete all around bad ass. Hardcore Marine that fought and kicked major ass in World War II..
fighting in the Japanese Martial Islands..Tinian,
Saipan, Roi-Namur and of course the grand daddy
Iwo Jima...almost one of the guys raising the flag on Mt.Suribachi. If it weren't for guys like my dad, we'd all be speaking German right now. He was also a great bass player, photographer, pilot, boxer, loyal husband and wonderful father. If there's anyone I
try to model myself after...it's my dad. Miss ya dad!
I'm a 36 year old drummer born and raised in the Detroit area. With no formal training, aside from watching and learning from my older brother, I play and learn everything by ear... couldn't tell ya what a paradiddle is to save my life. I do want to learn that stuff sooner or later. I came up through the 80's hair explosion, jammin with bands such as Downriver Detroit's own..Equinox. After cutting my long hair in 1989, I've realized there are more types of music out there other than metal and rock... after a friend introduced me to a Dave Weckl cd (Master Plan), I was sold. Although I'm very much into jazz and other styles, Rock will always be my #1 passion.
Other interests?... hmmm.. well, I studied and taught martial arts (Isshin-Ryu) for about 13 years or so and hold a 2nd degree black-belt.
Feel free to check out my vids and don't be afraid to leave me a comment... good or bad.
