I currently play in the best band in the world, the Piper Downs, with Bobby, Garner and Yell. This is how it all started.
I began playing drums in 2001. I had been following the Piper Downs and noticed that they were going through a lot of drummers. One day I was walking past a Pawn shop, and saw a Tama Swingstar kit. I talked the guy down to $200, and loaded it in my truck.
I called Garner and asked him to show me a few things. After learning really quickly, Garner and Yell started a band called Hott!!! to give me an opportunity to gig out. We played a few shows here and there, and I loved it. I used to practice constantly to the PD records, and Bobby would invite me up to play a song or two during some Piper Downs shows. Finally I was asked to play a whole show. Eventually, I was playing every show, and the rest is history.
My favorite drummers:
Keith Moon - the WHO I have always liked entertaining aggressive drummers, and he is the king.
Dave Grohl - Nirvana, Foo Fighters The master, what can I say.
Yuri Ruley - MXPX He's fast, and a fellow Pork Pie endorser.
Garner Knutson - Bobby Bognar and the Distractions/the Piper Downs He was my mentor, and he rocks!
Mike Fasano - Dad's Porno Mag, Warrant, Tiger Army He is mentor #2. No one rocks like Sack.
