First off that picture is from highschool when i put the two acoustic kits together because i was bored, i dont have any good pictures of me playing live because we all know no-one ever gets a good shot of the drummer, its all one big noisy blur of sticks and cymbals.
Hi there, the names jack and iv been playing drums for 5 years or so now but only
more seriously over the past 2 years before hand it was just drumming along to tracks
but my playing has come very far.
Main genres i enjoy playing would have to be metal, rock, hard rock and right now im working on grove metal.
I can play a variety of styles but not absolutely great but i get the job done and im working on all that.
Gig Expeience:
played a bunch of gigs now and i rarely make mistakes and their barely noticeable at times, i really get into it and tear lumps out the kit like your supposed.

Influences
Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (1981/2009 R.I.P)/ Avenged Sevenfold
The man was highly underrated and we didnt get to see his full potential, he really is one of my main influences in drumming.
Niko Mcbrain - Iron Maiden
The man who pretty much got me into drumming, i watched the Rock in Rio DVD and just thought i want to play like that.... naive little me so long ago, gonna be a few more years before i can drum like that man does.
Dave McClain - Machine Head
The man is a machine, i love his groves because he throws so much into them e.g. Imperium. Awesome track, awesome drumming... just aswesome.
Chris Adler - Lamb of God
a more recent influence as iv gotten better at drumming overall and double kick work iv really take a liking to his work that is about as good as i want to get right there. The double bass patterns just everything in general, you cannae beat some proper Grove Metal drumming
so all in all
The Rev, Niko Mcbrain, Dave McClain and Chris Adler. a weird mix of drummers there so heres hoping it all belnds together and i become the most awesome drummer in the world!!!! im joking but you know having a solid mix of that bunch in there would make you more than good =p.
