I'm an intermediate-advanced rock/alternative/punk/metal drummer.
Because I haven't been playing for a long time (only 4 years), I'm not a theoretical expert, nor is my technique fantastic, though it is fairly good. I can best describe my style as 'grabbing the audience by the balls, and not letting go until my set is over'. When performing, because I love being in front a crowd, I create a spectacle, which is not always a good thing, as it can draw attention away from my band-mates.
When practicing, I tend to focus a lot on playing through songs. I should probably work on rudiments and technique more, but I enjoy playing through songs. Currently, I have a repertoire of over 100 covers memorised.
When playing with my band, or writing drum-parts, I like to infuse a bit of a funk into my beats.
While I enjoy grooving around at a moderate speed, it's not my favourite speed. My favourite speed is somewhere between 'Fast' and 'Insane'. I tend to model a lot of my drumming off of Tre Cool so high-speed 8ths, syncopation, and machine-gun speed fills are generally what I strive for.
