BIOGRAPHY
Beatdrum is a musician from Muskegon, Michigan with roots in high school band and orchestra. He often found himself to be the lone member of the percussion section, surrounded by various tools of the craft much like a traditional drum kit but with tympani and chimes instead of toms and cymbals. Voted "Most Musical" by his graduating class, he formed a long-term musical partnership with an exceedingly talented keyboardist that lasts to this day. He served in the United States Navy for 13 years, mostly as an Air Traffic Controller. That chaotic wartime period endured as a major source for many songs yet to be heard. In 2010 he was honorably discharged and he took a job as a church custodian. He can often be heard singing while vacuuming the sanctuary floor. Shortly before his release from the military he began experimenting with studio software to the point of recording high quality tunes, which finally encouraged him to take the bold step of recording his own music for release to the general public. He can be found tinkering with model railroads (much like Rod Stewart) and is a lifetime Detroit Tigers baseball fan.
