I’m Herman Ogletree III, and I’ve been rocking the drums since I could barely walk! My
musical journey kicked off in the vibrant world of gospel at my church, jamming to those
uplifting beats, and grooving to the funky rhythms of the ’80s with my dad. But
everything really clicked when I discovered the raw power of rock and metal in the early
2000s with artists such as Linkin Park, Creed, and Staind igniting my passion!
Since 2002, I’ve been a proud member of some band, but most recently, I’m all in with Alive
in Stone and SoulSwitch where I get to write and perform original music that truly fuels my soul.

Known for my high-energy, hard-hitting style, I channel my drumming heroes—Morgan
Rose of Sevendust, Robb Rivera of Nonpoint, and Scott Phillips of Creed/Alter
Bridge—into every performance.
