I'm a proud drummer because: Lahat ng hardwork at pawis makuha lng yung technique pinaghirapan talaga, been a drummer for 13 years, it's a part of me na talaga.. Have self produced an Album 3 times na, still di pa natatapos yung journey sa music.. Ako nlng yung natirang punk drummer sa Bacolod who never stopped playing punk rock songs for 13 years, yung iba nag retire na, yung iba nag iba ng trip...
Additional info about myself: All smiles, kahit pagod na sa drums.. di mahilig sa drum solos.. Medyo OC sa gears.. mabait at approachable
