Hi i'm Addison

Hi my name is addison im 20

I play drums in a Prog/rock/metal electronica band named Punching Robots

My drumming style is influenced by such drummers as Thomas lang, benny greb, jojo mayer, marco minnemann. virgil donati and more recently travis orbin (Sky eats airplane)

I listen to Dream theater, Protest the hero, the fall of troy, mastodon, sky eats airplane, meshuggah and periphery

The reason i got into prog/tech was as my knowledge and skill improved on the drums i wanted to hear more bands with a heavy emphasis on musicanship, at the time dream theater were the band i previously knew to have that level of musicanship and it was a cascading effect from there

the reason i joined the forums was to improve my knowledge-base of prog styles, and to get feedback on my playing and play style also my compositions and ofcourse my bands material!

(Also whilst scrolling down i saw some topics about gear? which will be usefull seeing as we are a young band who are self produced and im pretty much the Engineer/mixer for our material and require all the knowledge i can get a hold of)

Peace.

Thank you for the welcome :)
