Derrellz began on cassette tape

Derrellz was a live-recorded music project from 2000 to 2016

It was January of 2000 when I bought my first drum set, an old tired $100 Slingerland kit (thanks Emily!!). The drum kit was kind of sparse, so to fill in the gaps, I used an old cardboard box with my high performance Holley carburetor throttle return spring poking out for as my ride symbol. My neighbor Ryan (a.k.a. Rhyno) heard me drumming and came over with his friends bass guitar. The Derrellz begin…

– Original Music Recorded One Time –

That crusty pile of lovingly beat-down drum kit lasted exactly one month. I had effectively drummed what remained of it right into the ground. It changed my life. Shortly afterwards, I upgraded my drum kit... We began to play everyday. And as time became itself, more members of Derrellz began to appear.

Soon after our first session, Anim8 arrived, and and Two Abes, Big D, Jacksonelli and --and a cast of other amazingly talented musicians that would become a whirlwind of musical energy.

Improvisational music is at the heart of our shared experiences

Thanks for listening loudly
