Hello All,
For quite some time now I have been looking for answers to random questions on this forum and it has yet to disappoint. However for some odd reason, it never occurred to me to actually become a member, until now.
Drumming is my passion and hopefully soon, my profession. I have and always will obsess over things that I am passionate about, as I am sure many people do. I have been playing since the age of 7, I am now 22 and am very far from where I would consider myself good (despite the efforts of my bands/friends trying to convince me otherwise).
I spent roughly 4 years being taught (on and off), the other years I spent just playing and watching YouTube videos.
Here is some Info:
Real name?
Sam Levell
Age?
22
How long have you been playing?
16 years
Origin of user name?
The first online name I ever created was for Xbox Live (when it first came out) and have used it ever since.
It is simply Sam and Master squashed together, being dyslexic… I thought that was very cleaver.
Your top 5 drummers?
Alex Rüdinger, Chris Adler, Mike Mangini, Mike Portnoy, Mike Johnston, Gavin Harrison, Thomas Lang, Kevin "Drummer" McGuill, Tomas Haake... this is 5 to a dyslexic.
Make of drumkit?
Pearl
Make of cymbal?
Meinl
Where do you practice?
Soundproof room my dad and I made.
Are you in a band?
Yes
Do you play covers or originals?
Mostly originals, but we have a bank of covers to throw out for fun.
What style of music?
Metal
Favourite takeout food?
PIZZA!
What country do you live in?
England
One really odd fact about yourself?
I am really odd, it would be easier to ask “One really normal fact about yourself?”
How did you start drumming?
My dad brought a drum kit and, being a slightly violent 7 year old boy, I couldn’t resist hitting it. He decided it was cheaper to buy me lessons rather than let me figure it out for myself.
So yeh, HELLO!
