Rich Tornetta - Drums

 

    I guess my hunger for drumming all started at age 10 when I used to put my head inside the kick drum of my uncle's kit while he played Rush tunes. The incredible vibrations and punches on the drum head shaking my brain rendered me searching for the same high ever since.. I just HAD to learn how to do that!!

    Lessons @ age 14; my own kit @ 15; first band @ 16. I was teaching drums before I met D.O.C. and felt an empty hole inside me. After my audition I felt like I found the Holy mutha*!..$ Grail... I was home at last!

    In addition to classical and jazz, metal has always been a huge influence and very close to my heart. It brings out the best in me when I play and the best in the fans that hear me. I stuck very close to Pantera, Dream Theater, Primus and Alice in Chains growing up. Billy Miller is still from whom I've modeled most of my drumming energy and playing style. I'm very psyched to be in the D.O.C. Family and hope to melt the faces of every metal loving fan who comes to see us
