Hendrix, Marylin Manson, the radio. Its funny because when I was little I was crazy about drums, I use to set up pillows on our couch like durms and take pencils or spoons and "play" along to some music. That I think about it, it sucks my parents didn't think that perhaps I would have like a drum set and I could have started on something early on. But anyway, I listened to a lot of radio when I was younger, back when "the top countdown" wasn't all rap and hip-hop and went from P. Diddy to Metalica. I found out about p2p programs and began d/l music, thats when I heard Pantera for the first time, and that expanded my horizons.

Basically, I wanted to be able to make all these cool noises I always heard and loved and finally had the opertunity a few years ago.
