This page is about the twat who 'owns' this site, me. A few personal details: I was born on the 10/11/1987 (November 10th, that is). I live in Great Britain. I'm quite crazy in mein kopf. I like Tales Of The Blode, Weebl and Bob and Happy Tree Friends. Neon Genesis Evangelion is teh uber-anime (my b/g is Rei from that show... heh) I play drums, and will use a large setup once I have the space and money - 1 snare, 1 kick, 6 toms (2 on left, 2 on right, 2 in front), 6 crash cymbals, 5 splash cymbals, 2 chinese cymbals, 1 ride, 1 set of hi-hats, 2 Zil-Bels and a few strange effect cymbals, A shitload of percussion stuff and big sticks. The companies I'm proud to say I use/aim to use are: Jalapeno Drums (United Kingdom) Sabian Cymbals (Canada) Zildjian Cymbals (USA - Zil-Bels only) Tama/Pearl Pedals (Japan/USA I think) Tama/Gibraltar (Japan/? - rack system) Various bits of hardware Latin Percussion (USA - percussive jobbies, a little hardware perhaps) Right now, my setup is, from left to right: DRUMS: Pearl Export in Chrome. Think of the guy from Korn's tom setup, 'cause mine are setup in a similar way. 14x5.5" snare 10x8 rack tom 12x9 rack tom 14x14 floor tom. Once I get my Jalapeno kit, I aim to skip the 14x14 and go for a 16x12 (the tom sizes would be 10x8, 12x10, 16x12, 18x14, with 15x16 and 13x15 rack toms on my left). I'm also learning how to abuse guitar, but I'm not so great at it yet! I like computer games as well. I'm single, always will be, always have been, etc. And I'm into metal music - Machine Head, Chimaira, Godsmack, MuDvAyNe etc. I'm waiting right now for SpineShank's 'Self Destructive Pattern' and Killswitch Engage's next album. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE ARE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. My drumming influences include Dave McClain (M.Head), A. Dutkiewicz/T. Gomes (KsE), Shannon Larkin (now Godsmack) and various other heavy rock metal dudes. Well, I guesses that's about enough of me prattling on. I need to record more random bullcrap for my project. OR I need to play computer games. OR I NEED SOME MONTY PYTHON. O_O HELP ME. PLEASE. Please? Won't you help me? Oh, go on. Don't force me to haggle.
