![]() Why do you think it is that the overall level of musicianship has gone up? I think that the end-users of this MIDI pack will be pleasantly surprised with what we did and I hope that it allows them to take their songwriting and creativity to the next level.Ĭomparing death metal from when it was “new” in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s through to today, a lot has changed – especially when it comes to speed and technicality. Then later on drummers like Lars Ulrich, Nick Menza, Igor Cavalera, Ingo Schwichtenberg, Dennis Chambers, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl and many more helped shape my style and versatility.Īs far as this MIDI pack, what did you try to cover and what do you hope the end-user takes away from it?Ĭoming into this project, I wanted to cover as many beats and rhythm variations, in as many different styles, feels and grooves as possible, so that way the end-user would have more to work with and not feel limited in their creativity. So drummers like Ian Pace were (and still are) a huge influence. ![]() Starting out, who were some of your heroes and who shaped you as a drummer?Īt the very beginning, I was learning to play drums to Deep Purple and Black Sabbath because I was definitely not ready to jump straight into Metallica and Sepultura haha. Everyone was already playing guitar or bass, so I stepped up to the drummer role. When I was thirteen years old, my neighborhood friends and I decided one day while listening to “…And Justice For All”, that we were going to start a band. ![]() I just could not stop air guitar playing and drumming, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I noticed I had a passion for music when my uncle played Joe Satriani’s “The Extremist” album for me when I was around nine or ten. When did you realize you had a passion for music?
