Who is yellowcards drummer

Playing drums has always been a huge part of my life. I started at the age of two and played my first show when I was five years old. One thing that has never changed is how I get ready for shows. I always warm up and mentally get myself ready for what is about to come.

I warm up with a challenge. I find my weakness and strengthen it through repetition. I warm up every part of my body for an hour before I play by doing yoga. That includes my fingers, wrists, arms, legs, feet, ankles, back, and my core. When I am done, I pick up the sticks and begin swinging them around.

I put my iPod on and play songs from my favorite bands and practice to them. I always sit behind it and make sure everything is right where I need it placed. Positioning is very important to how you attack the drums during live performances. I check the tuning of every drum and also make sure my heights are all perfect for me to rock out on. I always try to improve my playing by hearing any small mistakes, learning from them, and perfecting my overall hits.

I love making my drumming fun for everyone and have always been a showman. I love putting on my own show behind the drums. Being able to influence others is a privilege, a gift, and should always be cherished. One thing I have learned is to play from the heart and soul.

Never give up and always try to conquer your weakness. Even though the singer isnt a "original" member he has been the singer for as long as anyone has cared about the band since One For The Kids. Tons of bands do this. Ken Casey is the only original member from the Dropkick Murphys still in the band. If the musical direction of someone changes I'd rather have them leave the band and start a new project and the band replace them and pick up where they left off, rather than changing the style of the band altogether.

You'd be hard pressed to find a band that's been around for more than 15 years that still has the original lineup. Hell even Marky Ramone wasn't an original member. Doesn't mean anything, especially for drummers! Right, but what about the people who show up and realize that there are no original members in the band, and that they've been swindled into seeing some I don't think it's fair to compare a band to a sports team in this sense. It seems dishonest to continue under the same name when the only original member is the violin player, who I imagine doesn't have much influence on the sound of the band.

I don't follow Yellowcard, so I didn't know this, but that is a good point. This actually ties into the next thing:. To be fair, Marky joined very early on. Few Ramones fans even know there was a drummer before him. So, like Ian Rees said, he's "pretty much" an original member, I guess. My point in all this is that it seems sort of disingenuous. Good point, but they only put out three albums, a few comps and two EPs before he joined. Hefe's been with them 22 years now.

You're right, though - I can't say "who cared before El Hefe," because I think Dave and Steve both kicked ass and those first three albums were really great work. Anyway - I don't want to derail the thread - but you see my point, right?

Even if Mike, Melvin, and Smelly left, it obviously wouldn't be the same band. Mike does all the writing besides "Truck Stop Blues," "Together on the Sand," and "Kill all the White Man," and Melvin gets credit sometimes and his voice and bass playing are definitive parts of their sound. I can't compare to Yellowcard because I don't know their material, but I feel like the same thing would apply.

I'm not sure about the song writing credits with Yellowcard but I feel like since it's the same singer pretty much everyone is familiar with than it doesn't really matter too much who else in the band is a original member. Yellowcard as everyone is familiar with is Ryans voice, if it was no longer Ryan's voice and Sean left last "original" member so if they left than they shouldn't use the name but that wouldn't pretty much be the end of the band anyways.
