Adam - Psycho Sequinz

Adam

Born in the 1970s, Adam was raised on a steady diet of progressive rock, passed down from his father. Bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple shaped his musical tastes, but it was the rhythmic allure of the drums that captured his heart from the very beginning.

His musical journey began with a defining moment watching Ringo Starr drum in The Beatles' "Help," a scene that sealed his fate as a drummer. During his time at boarding school, Adam initially took up guitar lessons but soon found himself irresistibly drawn to percussion. His first teacher focused on orchestral styles, leaving him to navigate his own path in an era devoid of online tutorials. Through sheer dedication—listening intently, deciphering rhythms, and practicing relentlessly—he mastered the drums on his own terms.

In his forties, Adam returned to formal instruction, honing his skills to achieve the pinnacle of his drumming prowess. However, his journey in music remains a perpetual quest for improvement and fresh perspectives. Adam's musical influences traverse decades and genres—from the towering figures of 1970s rock to the flamboyant glam rock of the 1980s and 90s, including favorites like Bon Jovi, Poison, Europe, and the vibrant sounds of Little Angels.

Living through Britain's BritPop era in the 1990s, he found himself immersed in a dynamic musical scene, where many of his cherished albums emerged. His time with Psycho Sequinz has ignited a fire within him, ready to unleash his beats once again in the electrifying atmosphere of the mosh pit.
