A performer who respects the audience lets the audience make up their own minds about political stuff. - While I enjoy double-bass drumming, I am not good at the high-speed long-duration double-bass drumming necessary for most speed/death metal. - I am not looking for someone to just jam with to while away the hours. I’m looking for a full band with goals in mind.
