| .. Get your own Flash MP3 Player ~ I DO NOT ACCEPT FRIENDS WITH ANYTHING THAT MAY RESEMBLE PORN OR AN ABUNDANCE OF @SS ON THEIR SITE. THEY WILL BE DENIED AS THEY GREATLY UNDERMINE THE QUALITY OF MUSIC ! ~ Read On!!!...D Born in Taipei Taiwan, the son of an Air Force staff sergeant, I was given as a Christmas present, my first drum set. It was a Slingerland kit with no throne and one cymbal.At first, I wrestled with the fact that my drum set paled in comparison to others, but one morning, my grandfather joined me while I was, at that time, just making noise and he asked to play my drums. After chuckling for only a moment with the thought of this old man trying to play my drums, I graciously passed my sticks to him. He sat on my makeshift throne and proceeded to blow me away as he made that crappy kit sound like a symphony. It was at that moment that I realized that drumming was going to play a huge role in my life. From concert band , orchestra, marching band, Drum Corp to jazz band, I performed at every level and throughout high school, I was fortunate enough to be a part of one of the country's very first amateur percussion ensembles, performing for Buddy Rich, the Ludwig family in Chicago and many other events around the country. Currently, I play with The Melanie Susuras Band " , while also performing and recording with a number of other bands as a fill-in drummer and/or percussionist. I enjoy all types of music and perform many styles from country to funk. The best part of what I do is the interaction with the audience before, during and after a long night of playing music. If you are ever at a show, please do come up afterwards and introduce yourself, it would be my pleasure and honor to meet you. I dedicate my music to my wonderful and very supportive family especially my wife Jan. It just wouldn't be worth it without your love and support. I Love you!! |
