GOREATORIUM

I'm Jesse Figueroa, also nicknamed "Zombiholocaust" through my band and our years of performing. I have been playing the drums for well over 18+ years and its been such a long and very fun time drumming all those years that I almost forget how much time has passed by! From my early days of learning how to drum on my own which for the most part of my early drumming; I was self taught, absorbing all that I could about drumming and even the percussion side of things. I would air drum all the time to my favorite bands and use my practice pad (which could be a pillow, the floor, my bed and an actual practice pad that I got later) with some Vic Firth sticks i bought from the Music store, and the only time I could use an actual drum set was at a music store or at school until I got my first drum set. Eventually this led to my first music class with a Jazz instructor, and the door to Jazz, Latin, and Classical was opened to me and this style of music helped influence my drumming further. Over the years, my Drumming has progressed and evolved a lot since, always learning new things, figuring out new drum patterns, practicing as often as I can to master control in speed and tempo, and not to mention keeping fit! Due to the extreme levels of music that me and the fellas in Goreatorium perform. Its always a blast!
