Personal words; I have been playing since I was 2-3 years old, My father played killer 70's progressive/jam guitar and started me quite early. He was looking to have a "built in" jam drummer I suppose!! … As I got older I started jamming with friends (around the ages 12-14) eventually forming a band at 16 years old. That early band led to another band and then I ultimately started the Absence in 2004 (with Pete, Pat, Jamie and Nick). It was at this point I really started to "up" my practice regime. Heavy amounts of rudiments and drills (Drills for days). My main goal has been fluidity, always trying to "become water". I really respect drummers like Tim Alexander (primus) and Stewart Copeland (the police), as they look effortless while being so concise. That thinking (fluidity) has influenced all aspects of my life.
