I've been a drummer since I was 8 years old, I strum the guitar and fret on the piano from time to time.
I've got just about every single Queensryche CD on my mp3 player and so many different kinds of music that I really can't say which is my favorite.
My influences are Neil Peart, Tommy Lee, Tommy Aldrige, Cubby from the 50's Mickey Mouse Club a quite a bit of the jazz drummers around.
Pink Floyd, Queensryche, very much rock, pop, alternative sound.
