I'm playing a gig this weekend in downtown San Jose.  You should come check it out!
Sounds fantasticI.  Did Phinehas Drummer exit his band?
I'm not familiar with that band.  What can you tell me about them?
Not anything.    Do you know anyone touring the USA currently for progressive rock?
Yes!  Between the Buried and Me will be touring soon.  They're a bit "djent-y" but I like them a lot!  Will definitely try to get to a show.
What are some things you do in San Jose?
I like to go the Los Gatos Creek Trail for exercise.
Do you play a kettle drum?
I did when I was in my high school orchestra.  But I preferred to rock out on a drum kit because it's more surfaces to hit!  I play a DW brand drum kit now.
