    How I Became A Drummer(playing history): It Started In middle school where i was a marching band drummer where i learned rudiments and stuff like that. That was probbably 6 and 7th grade. 8Th grade i switched to guitar and I still today enjoy guitar playing. High school came around and me and my friend greg did some songs with me on guitar. Then Sophomore year. I got a drumset for my birthday because....1 I had always wanted to play drums and 2 me and greg had another guitarist in mind so then we could be a band. So from then on I havn't stopped banging. I've been through many bands and even more experiences. and i wouldn't trade it for the world and a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips.

    Thanks: Very big THANKS go to my MOM and DAD for putting up with many late night practices and very early ones too. Also for listening to me go on and on playing those loud obnoxious drums. I don't say this enough for sure......Thank You Mother and Father!
  • Other Thanks and love go to my majorly magnificent MARY!
