Dream Theater/Expert Profile

Expertise

Studied DT's musical and lyrical structures since I first heard Change of Seasons five years ago. Huge fan of their style of prog-metal blend, as a keyboardist and drummer I am greatly influenced by Portnoy and Ruddess' styles. Like any hardcore fan, I can track their history all the way back to the Berklee sessions in 1986 and onwards.

Experience in the area

Been listening to DT for about 5 years now, am an accomplished drummer and keyboardist who studies DT songs and their virtuostic musical styles.

Education/Credentials

Going to university and planning to graduate with a Bachelor's in Music Composition.
