A historical hero of mine is the caveman who invented drumming by banging stuff together and realizing he could cop a tasty little groove if he hit stuff with a few different toned logs and rocks and rubbed a little funk on it..... that dude freakin rocks.... there should be a museum..... and maybe a national park in his honor..... he is an inspiration to all drummers.

About me: I am proud to be engaged to the most amazing, beautiful, loving and overall perfect woman in the world!! I am a proud Risen drummer. I play Zildjian Cymbals and use Vic Firth sticks, Evans heads, DW hardware and Roc-N-Soc thrones exclusively. . . I am the owner of Main Stage Productions, a Rochester based show production company. We also have an instrument repair shop, and mixdown and mastering facilities.
More than any of that, I am a Christian, and my relationship with God is what really defines me.
Who I'd like to meet: My evil twin.... so I could beat him up for always getting me in trouble. . .

God bless you.http://www.sonicbids.com/voting/Default.aspx?p=292
Hey hows it goin? Just wanted to let you know that we will be in a battle of the bands at the california brew haus on sunday may 3rd at 4:00. We have discounted tickets, so if you want to come out and support us, please get in touch with us. Thanks alot. You can also check us out on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Eyesalve/58016577479
Thanks a lot for the add. We are hoping and praying for the new album to be done in a couple of months, and to start playing out by summer. Please keep us in prayer. God bless you.
i missed ya at drumday 08 muh friend, hows things? i pray well, heres a vid of every risen drummer at drumday playin a lil diddy on my kit, thats me throwin the beat, take care and be blessed. Ty
Yeah it really upsets me. It should go both ways. And U of K they did the same thing with Obama, only guess what? They HAD to take it down. What happened to theirs "Freedom"
things are goin grand here my friend, stoked bout drumday, stoked to be playin out again. im just stoked on life and with what gods doing. ive been blessed and i deffinately dont deserve it. but i am thankful.
That means you get to work tomorrow. yayness! Let me know what time you are coming in so I can prepare myself and hide my keys and the phones and whatever else you're prone to mess around with =P
yeah, i want to find some heavy duty LED lights, hopefully some that can change in color. and yeah man, the strobe...thatd be sick! good idea!
hey, where are you coming from. i would look at your profile but honestly, i think i have the slowest internet service on the planet and if the page isn't simple, i'll be here forever tryin to figure out the answer to that question.
i may be able to coordinate a carpool, if you're comfy w/ that. a lot of RD guys want to come, however that gas factor is simply scaring everyone off. i'm 11 hours away and that trip cost us last year close to 500 in gas alone. crazy!
sharing hotel rooms is a good way to save too. everyone i've met so far in the RD family is someone i'd be comfortable sharing a hotel room for that event. so, it's all up to you and of course everyone else.
