DRUMS
 MAX'S FACEBOOK PAGE  Drumming always has been and always will be the most important aspect of my life....and death. I started playing drums when I was around 6 years old. I didn’t really have any major influence to start playing, I just saw all the drum sets in Schmitt Music and knew I needed one of those bad boys or soon everything in my house would become destroyed from me pounding on it every time I heard any type of music. I messed around with it a lot for a while, took lessons for short period of time but it just wasn’t my thing and I’ve been teaching myself ever since. I really started taking it seriously around age 12, anything and everything that had to do with music intrigued me beyond explanation. The addiction to play all day everyday had begun, just like my addiction to eating human brains is slowly beginning… Since then all I’ve wanted to do was strive in every single aspect of drumming that I could, technicality, feel, groove, speed, solidness, stage presence, ect. Literally every genre of music appeals to me in a drumming sense, so I’ve been a sponge soaking in all these styles and techniques which has meshed together and made me the drummer I am today. After years of locking myself in my room and practicing my heart and soul out, I joined School of Rock at age 15 which led me to joining my first band Sum Of All. Played around the cities for about 2 years then I met Rob at The Rock. I thought he was a zombie then too but apparently that’s just what you look like when you don’t sleep for weeks straight. After some talking with him, next thing I know I’m drumming for Rising. I had a solid year drumming with the band until you know.. I died thanks to Tommy's lack of skill in controlling a vehicle. Looking back on playing shows while being alive with Rising I gotta say I’m looking quite forward to playing more shows dead. I mean no one calls me Justin Beiber anymore because they know if they do, I’ll rip off their head and impale it with my drumstick before I go play, and then eat it. Also no bars can give me shit for being 19 anymore because now I don’t even have an age.. I’m just dead! Being that I crave to play my drums, stuck in a tiny coffin underground with no way to even hear music was not my kind of thing, so I dug my way out of that bitch, found my beloved drum set, my band members, and now it’s time for DEAD RISING! |
