Thanks to the COM352 students for contributing a bunch of new pages! I'll be moving these pages into the main area of the wiki soon.

[edit] My Page

First, I would like to give an introduction of myself before you venture into my writing. I love music in all forms, but my favorite styles are classic rock, metal, and jazz. I have been playing the drums for ten years, I started at the age of of eleven. I'm currently in a band here at UMass, which I founded freshmen year. The old name was The Drugstore Cowboys, but it will soon be changed due to a rotating line-up and style. We were a rock band, but have become a metal band. Our first show was sponsored by Masspirg for the "Clean the Pond Campaign." I hope to take my passion for music and eventually make a career out of it. If you are curious about my future endeavors, please read My Mission Statement.

Dig in and enjoy!

This is a photo of Terry Bozzio's drumset. Bozzio is one of my main inspirations. He is well known in the musical community for his solo material and band work with Frank Zappa.

Here is a quote of mine about our class instruction and my own discoveries of writing Difference between Instruction and Discovery (5th one from the bottom)
