ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PLAY WITH ME. I’M OPEN FOR ANYTHING.
Influences
I STARTED OUT PLAYING METAL AND WHEN I THINK OF MY METAL INFLUENCES I THINK OF TWO PEOPLE -- JASON SHERLOCK OF MORTIFICATION FOR THE MORE EXTREME DEATH METAL STYLE AND VINNIE PAUL OF PANTERA FOR A MORE METAL GROOVE ORIENTATION. FROM METAL I WHEN TO A MORE SPEEDY APPROACH TO DRUMMING AND BEGAN TO PLAY PUNK ROCK. YURI RULEY OF MXPX IS MY FAVORITE PUNK ROCK DRUMMER. BLISTERING FAST PUNK ROCK ANTHEMS MIXED WITH TASTEFUL POP DRUMMING, I JUST THINK THE WORLD OF HIM AND HIS DRUMMING. WHEN IT COMES TO ROCK DRUMMING, THE LIST COULD GO ON FOREVER. I'M GOING TO KEEP TO JUST A FEW. JOHN BONHAM, NO EXPLANATION NEEDED THERE, HE'S A LEGEND, MATT CAMERON OF SOUNDGARDEN. HE CAN ROCK AS HARD AS ANYONE BE ALSO PULL ELEMENTS OF JAZZ AND PROGRESSIVE STYLES TOO. ALWAYS TIGHT AND EXPLOSIVE. RINGO STARR, AGAIN WHAT CAN I SAY THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID. I ALSO LIKE IS SOLO MUSIC TOO. I LOVE DRUMMERS THAT SING!!! NEXT I WILL LIST WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE REAL SPECIAL DRUMMERS. THESE ARE DRUMMERS THAT GO BEYOND WHAT THEIR STYLE IS AND CAN PLAY MULTIPLE STYLES OR PROGRESSIVE DRUMMERS GUYS THAT I REALLY WANT TO BE LIKE. NEIL PEART NOT ONLY IS RUSH ONE OF THE MOST TECHNICAL BANDS MUSICALLY BUT I ENJOY PEARTS BIG BAND PLAYING TOO. BILL BRUFORD, DRUMMING IN YES ALONE IS ENOUGH BUT THEN ADD TO THAT ALL THE GREAT JAZZ CDS, I LOVE THE VERSATILITY IN HIS DRUMMING. PHIL COLLINS, ANOTHER GREAT DRUMMER THAT SINGS, NOT ONLY IS GENESIS GREAT, BUT BRAND X IS AN AWESOME JAZZ BAND, PHIL DOES BIG BAND MUSIC TOO. A LOT OF PEOPLE DISRESPECT HIS ROCK DRUMMING, BUT WITH PHIL I THINK THEY'RE MISSING THE BIG PICTURE, PHIL OWNS. NOW THE LAST TWO DRUMMERS--STEVE GADD PROBABLY THE GREATEST DRUMMER EVER THE LIST OF WHO HE'S PLAYED FOR WOULD BE LONGER THAT THIS WHOLE LIST. BERNARD PURDIE--NO ONE ENJOYS PLAYING THE DRUMS MORE THAN HIM. HIS ATTITUDE IS AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND IF I COULD PATTERN MY STYLE AFTER ANY ONE MAN, IT WOULD BE PURDIE. FUNKY DONKEY IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER WRITTEN!!!
