I started playing guitar at 16, and bass at 18. I've been playing the drums since I was 18 as well (which is what I do in Rory Breaker). I was put there because I was in a band and deemed the most musically inclined to be thrust behind the drums (since the band had no drummer). Since then I've been in such bands as the 27s, Shelden, For Years Apart, A Great Day To Die, and FKOA. I'm also currently involved in a project called Death List Five. Influences (i.e. what you hear when I play) are Bill Stevenson, Josh Freese, and Kenny Arnoff. I love to play, Breaker is always busy with new material and shows but every vancant moment is filled by another project or constant practice. It's important, if you're a musician, to be versatile. I use the same Premier late 80s model drums I've had since I started playing, I like them and I cant afford anything else. I use cheap, light drumsticks of any brand and zildjian and sabian cymbals.
