Not counting on drums what do you do for fun:

Playing a straight sold out tour/Selling out the biggest room 3k! Also continuously charting on the Billboards.
Drumming strengths:
Real handy with Cymbal/Bell work & fills, Off “timey” snare patterns, & Stage presence.
Drumming means to me:
My one shot in life, to prove myself as someone, to make my mother and father proud, and to give people someone hopefully they can look up to like all my idols did for growing up. Cycling the favor, and Making someone of myself.
Advice for up and coming drummers:
Never give up, no matter what anyone says; Take your passion to the grave. Believe in yourself enough, so that you can believe in others.

Tech-Metal-Gaming/Anime-Enthusiastic-Pug Lover.
When I look back on my life one day, I would like to be able to say:
Something probably too inappropriate to many people from my past, who ever pointed and laughed, or said I couldn’t live my dreams; And to my mom, and dad “See, Told you we’d be okay” hah.
