I've been playing drums in original rock bands for a little over 20 years now, since that journey began around 2002. Prior to that, I was an aspiring professional air drummer since I was about 8 years old. At some point it got boring, so I moved on to playing with pens and pencils on my desks at school, not realizing at the time that this was part of my evolution in drumming. But the teachers at school didn't like it and thought it was just a bunch of noise, so I knew I had to figure something else out to continue down this path of drumming. Unfortunately, my dad wouldn't get me a real drum kit because he didn't want me to make too much noise in the house, kind of like the teachers at school. So, then I decided to take matters into my own hands and build a DIY drum kit at home made out of pots, pans, buckets, trash cans and trash can lids. The only real drum equipment I had for this DIY kit were the drumsticks. This was fun for awhile but this DIY kit had an overly trashy tone to it that I didn't like much, and I knew I would eventually have to save up money and buy one on my own when I got older after I graduated high school. I eventually got a big boy job and bought my first real drum kit, and the rest is history !

My current band is called KILVEREZ, and we released our first full length self-titled album on vinyl and digital in 2019, and released our second album called "BRING ON THE ASTEROID" on Dec 3rd 2022 under record label- Forbidden Place Records. Both albums are on all the main streaming platforms, and they can be purchased on our bandcamp website.
