| I am a drummer |
It may come as a surprise to those who know my music that I am mainly a drummer. I started
playing in 1985 or so and went on to play in a couple of bands. My early influences were Peter
Criss and Eric Carr of KISS, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden and Mikkey Dee's playing with
King Diamond. I was later greatly inspired by the drumming of Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa,
Dave Weckl and other jazz and fusion players.
Here are some examples of my drumming.

I also performed the percussion parts in the Rite of Ragnarok ritual seen in the film "Inside the
Church of Satan". Visit the website for more information on this film.
