Josh Klipstein, born in Long Beach California, now lives in between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. He started playing drums after a short stint with playing the trumpet. Realizing he had the knack for percussion, he picked up sticks and never looked back. Playing drums since 1988, he quickly found others to jam with and gravitated towards playing metal for the fast pace and double kick. Now, he plays with 3 bands currently. 4 Mag Nitrous, Big Frank, and Wicked River Rising. He has 5 studio albums between the 3.
