Hello, my name is Don Cool. I've been playing drums for over 30 years. Now, thanks to the Internet and Soundclick.com, I have the means to share the music that I'm proud to have taken part in over the past 15-20 years, without having to burn and peddle CD-R's! (although I have a few left)

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Well, I did for a long time, and I probably will again sometime. But now I'm indefinitely retired, doing the 2nd shift/Mr. Mom thing, which doesn't leave much time for the band thing. Yes, I LOVE playing live. That's the fun part! Special moments...playing two gigs in one day with Cryonax. It felt like being on a real tour!...and of course, all the fun and laughs at the Scallywaggs shows!

Your musical influences

Neil Peart, Scott Travis, Thomas Lang, Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, Vinnie Paul, John Dolmayan (System of a Down).

What equipment do you use?

Proud user of Tama, Zildjian, Sabian and Promark....oh and my Ludwig "winter-beater".

A tapestry of sorts. I like bending genres like matchsticks.
