Although I can also play guitar and bass, I consider myself a drummer first and foremost. I've always loved drummers who are all about groove and serving the song. Although I respect the hell out of their chops and talent, I can't stand guys like Mike Portnoy, Joey Jordison, and all those other metal drummers who overplay everything. Punk was my first love and that what got me motivated to play music, so I love all the great Punk drummers like Paul Cook, Jerry Nolan, Bill Stevenson, Lucky Lehrer, and Tommy and Marky Ramone. I'm also a hug fan of and heavily influenced by Ringo and Steven Adler as well.
