My number one interest is drumming of course, but I also like long distance cycling, fishing,
listening to music on my I-phone, working out and building stuff.
Music
I listen to a lot of music. I like rock, metal, funk, and metal fusion.
Some of favorite bands are Planet X, Meshuggah,anything with Virgil Donati on it, any Kiss up to "The Elder" Spocks Beard, Transatlantic, Maceo Parker
My all time favorite movie is Pulp Fiction, and then as follows....Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill 1 and 2, Hostel and Planet Terror/Deathproof. Do you see a pattern here?
There are a lot more movies but these are my favorites!
Television
I don't even know why I have one.
Books
The Bible, I really dig biographies of bands too. I find them interesting. Most recently was one of Kiss and one of Ace Frehley.
Heroes
Jesus Christ would be my number one hero of course.
Drumming heroes would consist of Peter Criss, Virgil Donati, John Blackwell and Terry Bozzio.
My name is Jimmy "Vegas" Tanner. I am a professional drummer. I have been currently touring and recording with national touring band, the ApologetiX.
I also give private drum instruction and session work in between tours.

I am endorsed by Truth Custom Drums, Istanbul / Alchemy cymbals, Trick Percussion and DB drum shoes.
My latest addition to my kit is the Alchemy line of Cymbals from Istanbul. I am so impressed with their quality. These are the cymbals the other companies try to make but don't come close to!
Truth Custom Drums are great! You have to check out their web site.
You can have the drums built to your specs which is what I had done.
My kit consists of 24 deep by 22 diameter kick
8,10,12,14,16 and a 13 x 7 maple snare.
For the last two years I have been playing the Double Big Foot Pedals. To this day, I am still really blown away by their smooth delivery and consistent response. I've have never played a better set of pedals! I came to Trick as a customer, I was looking for a solid product at a fair and reasonable price. I came away from my purchase impressed at their first class, top notch customer service. They totally exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed by all aspects of my experience as a Trick customer, that I decided to endorse the product when they offered. Whether you are checking out the Pro 1-V Bass Drum Pedals, Trick's GS007 snare strainer, or Trick's phenomenal drum and cymbal polish, you can be absolutely be sure that the folks at Trick will take care of ALL your drumming needs.
DB Drum Shoes are shoes made especially for drummers, by drummers. I have been using these shoes for over a year now and you won't find a more comfortable, well designed shoe. Whether you play speed metal, traditional jazz or anything in between, DB Shoes should be part of your drumming arsenal!
