Member Since9/18/2007
Band MembersShaun Merrill - aka Sir Crash - DRUMS.
InfluencesDRUMMING INFLUENCES: JOHN BONHAM (Led Zeppelin) "THE GREATEST ROCK DRUMMER TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF THIS PLANET - PERIOD!! Terry Bozzio (Missing Persons/Frank Zappa/Solo Artist), Alex Van Halen (Van Halen), Ashwin Sood (Sarah McLaughlin), Adrian Young (No Doubt), Stewart Copeland (The Police), Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins), Scott Rockenfield (Queensryche), Sean Kinney (Alice in Chains), Dave Abbruzzese (Pearl Jam), Matt Cameron (Soundgarden), Chad Sexton (311), Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), Keith Moon (The Who), Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac) and Mark O’Connell (Taking Back Sunday)... BAND AND MUSICAL INFLUENCES: Led Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, Janes Addiction, Miles Davis, Michelle Branch, Sara McLaughlin, Tori Amos, Chili Peppers, Classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Shubert, Vivaldi) NIN, OZZY, Missing Persons, Johnny Cash, The Who, The Cars, Soundgarden, OLD VAN HALEN (everything after Fair Warning is NOT Van Halen and SOLD OUT)... Three Days Grace, AFI, Taking Back Sunday, Breaking Benjamin, Pedro The Lion, Jets to Brazil, Death Cab for Cutie, Tony Kanal (No Doubt-bass), FLEA (Chili Peppers - and THE SICKEST bass player out there) and some of the 80’s to early 90’s stuff.........My two favorite albums of all time are "Physical Graffitti" by Led Zeppelin and "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" by The Smashing Pumpkins!
Sounds LikeI was described as "a cross between Jimmy Chamberlain and Neil Peart" by some former band-mates but I think I sound more like a cross between Jimmy Chamberlain, Scott Rockenfield, and Mark O’Connell from Taking Back Sunday if you were to ask me (with some Bonham influence thrown in there of course)… I have been told that I have a "POWERFUL SOUND" and that I am a "HARD HITTER" behind the drums...I feel that all of my influences come out in my playing. Keeping good time and using dynamics are always important as well as HAVING FUN...I PLAY "WIDE OPEN" AND I DON'T USE ANY TAPE OR MUFFLING, PERIOD...I PLAY SJC CUSTOM DRUMS, ZILDJIAN CYMBALS, DW PEDALS, AND TAMA HARDWARE.

   About Shaun Merrill aka sir crash
I grew up in the Suburbs north of Boston Massachusetts. I have been playing drums since I was a kid and I love everything about drumming and music! Some of my previous Boston based bands include: URCHIN, PARADISE ALLEY, PLAY ROUGH, PETER AND THE WOLF, BUSTA BAZOO, LAST LAUGH, CRASH AND THE CRASHTONES, FOR PETES SAKE, MF LAW, MONKEYPOX, MOLASSES FLOOD, BROKEN, HOT N BOTHERED, THE DAVE CLARK BAND, and recording the songs featured here with the help of singer/songwriter Zac MacIntyre on the keyboards. 2008 was a busy year, I was working with several different projects, including: SIGNALS FROM SATELLITES (formerly Proval), THE SEMIS, MENERVA REALM, and THE CRASH MITCHELL FIVE........Since coming back home to New England in the fall I have been chilling and enjoying the time off, but I am always interested in new projects or just jamming for fun! My dream has always been to own my own Drum Shop one day and make/buy/sell/trade/repair Drums and teach. Peace, and be well my friends...
