Sounds Like
My drumming style can best be describe at a mix of Bonham/Bozzio/Budgie/Perkins.
I like to groove it HARD but also use lots of ghost strokes, rudiments, and broken 16th notes in the grooves to keep them funky.
A great example of this style is "Once Beuatiful" by The Last Dance.
HERE IS THE VIDEO FOR "ONCE BEUATIFUL"

"DISTANTLY" from the upcomming TLD tour film "ALmost Beuatiful"

it's called a 'liquid light' projector,
an oil-wheel lamp that projects the moving visual effect onto 'whatever;' in this case, a white reso head. :-)
seems to be a hit in dark venues. Gets a lot of attention.
thanks for asking!
hope all's well with you~

Hi Tom, thankyou for the add and popping in to check us out, we certainly appreciate your support and hope you will keep us in mind when looking into something new or different to add to your drums.
wow- really digging what you do, Tom!
I don't think I've met another drummer yet who claims Budgie as an influence; he's SO shamefully overlooked.
Anywho, very glad to 'meet' you here, hope we can chat soon.
Maybe we'll cross paths at Dragon*Con...
take care!
