I'm a Drummer. Or I was when I was in school.

I went from drumming to being a mechanic... Went from bashing on drums to bashing on motors until they work... lol

I play guitar in a band called It Won't Die, you can search on MySpace for that.
I'm using a Les Paul ESP LTD EC50 for now, but i'm aiming for a custom made by ESP. Yeah im kinda a freak over this label tongue.gif not that i snob the rest but this one is the only one i can trust so far.

I also sing in a band called "as the mercury rises"

As for what kind of music both bands are? Well i am still not sure about that. Check them out, you be my judges wink2.gif

Getting some more strings sorted,(don"t ask), & the camera sorted,(don"t ask), then............
Going to try to do a video of it & post it on HERE! (if i can get more clevererer).
Also , i"ve got to alter the bridge to Matt"s liking, so he can get his fingers under the strings,

I used to play the guitar alot. But for some reason I set it aside and never really got back into it. And I also started learning to play the mandolin. ( I like bluegrass music too ).

My brother is a pretty good drummer.

Well, I play the Trumpet and the Guitar... Im in a jazz band playing lead trumpet (AND I ROCK!), and for a while, I was in a band called Mr. B and the flyin' J's ( i played guitar) with my science teacher as the lead singer/harmonacaist... AHH!!!. The Jazz Band plays for school events like pep rallys and stuff. But my first ever rock gig (with the J's) was at a pep rally for the Taks testing... (I live in texas). Anywho, I donned this huge wig and a headband and when the crowd of 300 or so saw me, they all laughed, but once we started playing... well... I have a collection of various clothing items and things... lol... original.gif

Cool website/myspace Biff! Some of the songs/music have a sound combo of Whitesnake, Van Halen (after DLR) among others i'm sure, the guitarist kicks ass (sounds a little like Satriani & Vai in-one) I can't get access to that last link tho (no matter)...err and i noticed a stack of hot babes (friends) all over your website too w00t.gif ...
