My real name is Carl Gibson, and I'm a 17 year old 12th grade student from Kentucky. I'm also a preacher's son. (You won't believe the Drum n bass scene here.../sarcasm/)I started drumming in 6th grade, got a set in 8th grade for my 14th birthday, and have been self taught ever since. I'm in a marching band (don't laugh...), I march 3rd bass drum, and won a state title in 2003. Ive been producing since 1998, and I am self taught at that as well. I joined acidplanet.com in July 2002, and am very well known on that site, as well as getting #1 overall on dnbscene.com several times. I make all of my own drumbreaks, but use loops for melody. Whew. I think that's it.Band/artist history
Started drumming in 1998 as well as producing, joined several different bands since freshman year, (penfifteen, the rimmjobs, suspended) and got into the dnb scene in 2002-2003.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have performed live in several bands, and although I'm not drumming for anyone right now, I did play for a rock band called Suspended for a few months, and we headlined at all kinds of venues in our area. (Cynthiana, Paris, Lexington) I was also a member of the River City Drum Corps when I lived in Louisville, and we played somehwere for a large crowd about every weekend, and we also played at special events locally and nationally.
Your musical influences
Oh snap. Oh man...there are way too many. My main electronic influences are probably Aphex Twin, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers. Squarepusher, Daft Punk, Massive Attack, St. Germain, early Moby, and Underworld. I also love listening to Rage Against The Machine, Propagandhi, and other political rock bands, since I am an arch liberal. I am really into downtempo kinds of music like Portishead, Tricky, and anything that sounds trippy. Some good rap is Jurassic 5, Kool Keith, Dr. Octagon, Deltron, and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. I will listen to rap, as long as the lyrics are inventive and creative. Rappers these days us the same old lyrics over and over again (i.e. bling bling, smack my hoe, pop in a clip, etc.) and it gets old. I think that's all for now. whew.What equipment do you use?
ACID Pro 4.0, Soundforge 5.0, Vegas Video 4.0 Beta, 10000's of loops, a shiny black CB Drumset with a Sabian B8 hi hat and crashride, and a Ziljian ZXT rock ride. a 16 channel mixing board, and a whole bunch of recording equipment like a behringer 12 channel mixing board, a fostex digital recorder, an 85 watt samson studio amplifier, and my trusty sony vaio.Anything else?
Collaborate with me!
I consider myself to be one of the best on the internet at house and drum n bass, im willing to do some rap beats, and i could make you drum loops if you need em.yo man i found you threw face book now you have found me i'm willing to do some things i know we talked about it before and i can get you some artist that will not let you down. How ever right now i'm not up and running so i'm gonna have to have a cash flow come in soon (yes that means i'm gonna have to get a job) and then we'll talk some more Untill then keep in touch aslo i think you should try Getting ahold of Damon Long AKA D'Analyst i can give you his # if you can e-mail me @ twitch_bones@yahoo.com don't try iming me b/c i can't get it right now. just e-mail. on and nice beats man makes me wanna get stoned and start triping like a beast agin.
