I STARTED PICKING UP DRUM STICK'S AT THE AGE OF THREE, AS I GOT OLDER, I WAS SETTING IN FOR MY FATHERS POLKA BAND CALLED (E-Z TONES), EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WHEN THEY WOULD PLAY OUT AT EVENTS, I NOTICED MYSELF PLAYING BETTER AS I WATCHED MY FATHER PLAY THOSE DRUMS,AND LEARNED WHAT HE PLAYED, I FOUND MYSELF MORE INTO PLAYING THE DRUMS,AS I TURNED 16, I STARTED A ROCK BAND IN MY FATHER'S BASEMENT, WE NEVER PLAYED OUT, BUT IT WAS WORTH THE PRACTICE!! I'VE GOTTIN INTO OTHER ROCK BANDS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR'S AND NEVER FOUND MYSELF TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT I WAS DOING, NOW I PLAY WITH THE (TWILIGHTER'S) AND I'M VERY MUCH COMFORTABLE WITH PLAYING DRUMS FOR THE GUY'S NOW, AT 32 YRS I PLAY (BIG-BAND),(LATIN), (JAZZ),(OLDIES),(GERMAN),(WALTZ'S),(POLKA'S)AND HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE PLAYING DRUMS..
