Chris Lewis

Chris is known for his thunderous drumming and is currently the backbeat behind the Canadian hard rock band SINBURN. Previously, he was a founding member of the Canadian metal band phear which was signed to RFL Records in 2018. Under that label, phear released two albums (‘Insanitarium’ & ‘The Curse Lives On’), both of which Chris played drums on. Chris left that band in August 2019 and has since been involved with numerous other musical projects, including the aforementioned SINBURN.

Chris had aspirations to become a drummer after hearing ‘KISS – Alive!’ for the first time when he was 10. Peter Criss was ultimately his most profound influence. Chris finally realized his dream when at 16 his parents bought him his first drumkit. Over the years, Chris learned to play the drums (self-taught) by listening to such bands as Aerosmith, Rush, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, UFO, Thin Lizzy, KING’S X, MR. BIG, and Journey. He lists his all-time favourite drummers as Steve Smith, Pat Torpey, Peter Criss, Neil Peart, & Mike Portnoy.
