Alex has played the drums professionally for several years under
several different genres of music. Although an accomplished jazz
and African drummer, Alex has always had to satiate his need to
rock, and considers The Impediments the perfect medium through which
this can be achieved. Influenced by such drummers as Neil Peart
from the rock supergroup Rush, David Garibaldi, Adrian Young, Carter
Beauford and Brian Blade, Alex's sound in an interesting mix of
constantly evolving styles. His current favorite groups include
Guns N' Roses, The Gamits, the Pygmy tribe of the West-African bush,
Modest Mouse and The Streets.
Unknown Fact: Alex was once referred to as "Veggie-Boy"
by his friend's father, who happens to be an avid hunter. Because
of his quasi-vegetarianism, this moniker has (unfortunately) stuck
quite well to Alex. The same friend's father once said to Alex,
"Hey Veggie Boy, what do you want on your pizza? Veggies?"
Needless to say, Alex's vegetarianism never fails to dissappoint
his peers or his elders.
Alex is NOT a vegan, dammit.
