Influences and Teachers
3. Cliff Burton:
His shreddy play style makes me want to be able to play like that. He could be both melodic and heavy and I loved that about him. I know everyone succs his dick but that's for a reason. Also, he made Orion. The middle section in it has to be one of the most beautiful pieces ever created. That was the first time the bass stuck out to me in a song and made me realize how the bass can add so much to a song.

2. Justin Chancellor:
The first time I had heard Forty-Six & 2, I knew I had to know how to play it. Justin is the sole reason I became interested in playing bass. I've never heard a bassist that adds so much to the music. I feel like Tool is the only band I've heard that the bass has such a large part in all of their music, except...

1. Tim Commerford:
My favorite bass player has to be Tim. The way he merged Metal, Funk, and Hip-Hop has shaped my playing in the way that no one else has. His bass lines were some of the first I learned. I liked bass before discovering Rage Against the Machine, but Tim is what made me indulge myself in the instrument. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be the player or even the person I am today.
Hobbies and Interests
I also love going biking and playing some video games, but playing bass takes up most of my time.
