What you'd like to be called: Sidereal or Side is fine. Points to anyone who knows how to pronounce it. :)

Age: 37 or 38, I forget

Gender (bender?): Male

Local (state): California, although I've been staying in Harlem for the past two weeks, looking for possible work and considering a move to NYC.

Music Background (years, instruments, etc.): Bugged my mom for a kit after seeing the "Words" video by Mission Persons on MTV. She finally relented. Had a Nazi of a teacher when I was 14 who made me hate drums, so I gave up for a while. Bought another kit when I was 17 and haven't stopped since. I play a bit of guitar and even less keyboards (self taught). I also do recording engineering, and sound design/editing for video.

Complete the statement

 

What people don't know about me is that... you don't know anything about me other than what I've said.

:) No, actually. It was a red sparkle snare drum and kick drum (with a hole in it) and a cheap cymbal with a stand that came out of the kick drum. I think my kick only had one spur too. My mom's kinda cheap.

drumming for little more than a couple years. As my name says, I currently drum for my church.

I attend a church that has a pretty decent band, they play the same songs almost every week and I am always taping along. They other night...no drummer so they asked if anyone could play and my wife shot her hand up and volunteered me. I already knew the songs and I spiced them up a little and got a few winks from the band. Then...my first applause from a real crowd! Felt awesome. Like I said before, I just moved here from Cali and just started going to this church a few months ago. 25 years of playing, I guess that was my first live show.

Closet drummer. Happy to play by myself for years. It hasn't been until the last few years I started playing with other musicians and started having fun with that. Now I am in a few bands and basically play almost every day with a different group, hopefully one will take off and I can play that elusive live show.
