Started playing bass guitar in about 7th grade. When i learned the basics of bass guitar i moved up to screwing around with friends electric guitars. Back in high school a friend had an electric guitar and his little sister had a cheapo drum kit. Well, we wanted to make noise so i became the default drummer.

After learning the basics (read: how to play a simple punk drum beat; fast and nasty) on the drums i got myself a drum set. Got a job at guitar center (read: huge employee discount) and started buying gear.
