John Neumeier

Hey, I'm John, a sophomore in high school, and I am mainly a drummer. I love to play the drums every single day. Somedays its drum set, other days, its rudimental stuff. My second intstrument is keyboardin'. Third is guitar. I like all kinds of music. ALL kinds, and yes that means every single genre of music there is. Sometimes at school when I'm doing one of those timed-writings in English class, a song idea randomly pops in my head, like a breakdown, funk groove, or maybe even classical. This is how I got started. I've been composing on the piano since I was 3. Tell me a scale to play in, and I'll make something I've never played before. In 6th grade, I picked up a pair of Vic Firth sticks and the only negative side effect it's taken on me is pounding on a desk in class!
