Faith-based Christian rock band are crowned Indie Kings by 13SR
December 2 2013 - 13SR Headquarters
When I was young, I auditioned for my school’s concert band, where I served as president and first-chair trombonist. I learned to sight-read and perform with an orchestra—yet I longed to play rock ’n’ roll. My cousin introduced me to Journey, AC/DC, and Van Halen. I traded in my trombone for a nice Tama Brazilian kit and enrolled in private lessons from Chuck Whitby, Warren White (studio, Ice Capades), and Ron McDonald (UTA drum instructor) at Grant’s Drum City in Irving, Texas.
Vinnie Paul of Pantera would frequent Grant’s when the band was on the rise in our local scene. I quickly went from teen clubs to opening up for Pantera at area venues before their worldwide rise to fame. My influences include John Bonham, Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, Alex Van Halen, Tommy Lee, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa
