About:

K.D. has been banging skins since conception. He has an agressive style which combines the power of thunder with the passion of a true artist. Always in control, and never missing a beat, he has managed to gain recognition through hard work. He has gained the endorsement of various drum companies as well as being asked to test drumsticks for a major manufacturer. Those who have seen him play know the power behind this beat maker. Besides his current work with LXIX, K.D. is active in studio sessions with various established musicians throughout the United States. His work varies from Hip-Hop to plain old Rock'n'Roll. Off-stage this powerhouse becomes a congenial, easy-going jokester. Always staying to sign autographs until the last fan has gone home. (That's probably because it takes that long to load all of his gear back into his SUV!! lol )
