ABOUT
I'm only allowed to select up to 4 genre's (which is bullsh*t), but I can play many different styles and am always open to trying new ones. I just picked the ones that I play the most.
Currently playing with my band Witch Cradle (s://./WitchCradleBand)
As well as the Pantera tribute super group “Throes of Rejection” (s://./throesofrejectiontributeict)
I also do session work when I can so if you need some drums for an album or demo but don't have a drummer yet, I would be happy to help out! HMU: BaDrumTiss
You can find more samples of my playing at: /panzero
I've been drumming seriously for nearly 20 years and it's one of my biggest passions. I don't care if I end up a rock star or not. I am a musician and playing is what I love to do, period.
