Aaron

Name: Aaron David Hammeke

Born and raised in Great Bend, Ks

I play Pearl drums, Zildjian and Sabian cymbals, and I use Shure SM57 mics on the my toms and snare, and a Beta 52 mic on the kick drum.

My biggest influences on music have been Neil Peart (Rush), Stuart Copeland (Police), my mom, my dad who spent countless hours playing with me in the basement, and most of all my uncle Joe. My uncle used to let me sit on his lap while he was playing at dances, and he would show me how to play the hi-hat.l He is the #1 reason I love playing drums more than anything, and he taught me everything I know. I give him all the credit for all I do on the drums. My mom and dad are also great influences because they support me in whatever I do.

I have a younger brother, Ryan and a younger sister, Abby.

I love playing drums more than anything.
