I am a drummer last I checked, though I have been known to play the theremin, seriously I actually bought a theremin, incredibly expensive. But I play more than drum kits as I am a percussionist so I play a shit-load of percussion instruments like bongos and steel drums, and xylophone etc.I have the privilege of being able to record all my stuff in a professional recording studio so my stuff is always flawless quality. I have a large variety of tastes in music. I listen to everything from grindcore to prog rock jazz fusion, speed metal, ambient, lots of prog, prog anything really, blues, classic rock, neo classical, techno, electro, tech metal, world, I think you get the point. If I were to choose from tab programs I'd go Guitar Pro, because Geoff has it and is cool because it has percussion as well, suck it Power Tabs. So, I'm running out of things to say hear but um, yeah so thats me for the most part, If your still reading this by now you are probably either really bored or you for some reason find me really interesting, so have fun.
