Drummerworld: Daniel Adair

Drummerworld: Daniel Adair: "I started playing drums at the age of 13. My Father was a drummer and he had a set of 1967 Ludwigs in storage. For some reason I set them up and started to bang around on them, I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. That night I watched some drummers on music videos and it started to make sense how the drum kit worked. I listened to an album my brother had called 'Hemispheres' by Rush. It was intense! I heard music differently all of a sudden and I had to learn how to drum like that! I became obsessed with the drums, air drumming in my room all night and playing along to albums all day. I taught myself in the beginning, learning all the licks from John Bonham, Neil Peart, Tim 'Herb' Alexander, Lars Ulrich, and many others."
