My name is Brian. I am an aspiring musician looking to expand my music carrier into the teaching field. I’ve wanted to be a drummer at a very young age, my mother would always find me taking the pots and pans out of the kitchen cabinets and banging on the pots and pans with her wooden spoons when i was four years old. I started officially drumming when I was in 4th grade and started playing in concert band. As i learned the art of the drum from my music teach in school and my private instructor Robert Trout who taught me allot of what i know about drums. In high School, I switched to taking lessons with Drew west and he taught me the skills to be in the Muhlenberg Marching and jazz band. In my years of music education, I’ve learned to play genera’s such as: Jazz, Swing, Rock, Funk, Orcestra, Funk Rock, and Classic rock. After high school, I started experimenting in Metal music which led me to touring with Encasing Embrace on the I am Filth Tour and playing shows in the states of: PA,NY,NC,VA,and MD.
