Meet Brian Doyle, 24-year-old drummer in the process of making some big decisions in life and working towards a future that will allow him to pursue his passion for music. Doyle is a drummer, an energetic play hard and make lots of noise drummer who was with the punk rock band Guttermouth. Now Doyle is back home in Torrance California planning out a new future and splitting his work time between college courses and waiting tables, but playing drums on the side in his home studio. Ultimately his plan is to transfer to a four-year college and get his International Business degree where he believes his looks and outgoing personality will serve him well, ultimately financially fueling his music pursuits.
Doyle decided to become a drummer at 14 when he went to church and was amazed by the resident drummer there “ripping rock beats”. He chatted him up afterwards and began a great friendship, which included his new friend teaching Doyle how to play. “Now I show him what’s up!” Doyle says with some pride and a smile in his voice. Doyle has developed a style that is fast and hard with lots of different rhythmns. He says for him that drumming is a natural drug, better than any hard drugs. “I don’t do hard drugs but even if I did I know this is still way better than that!”
This video is from a Warped Tour performance… see Doyle in the back on drums.
