DRUMMER HERE!
been playing percussion for about 8 years, set for about 5, double bass set for less than 1. i went throught a style change from rock to more metalcore-ish stuff. I have a huntington beach double bass set (two seperate basses) with about 7 toms, but cut it down to one bass (with a double bass pedal) and 3 toms for gig/transportation purposes. I have Sabian cymbals, with meinl chinas and meinl bell. I'm in a band and we play music that is comparable to a day to remember or haste the day.
BIGGEST INFLUENCES:
Matt Greiner (August Burns Red)
Adam Gray (Texas In July)
