Originally from Fairhaven Mass. This navy brat comes from a long line of percussionist like his family before him. Taught to play by the heavy hitters of rocks forgotten souls such as , Tommy Aldridge , Tommy Lee , Allen White , Lars Ullrich , Vinnie Paul , Neil Peart , Mike Portnoy & many others. The hours spent with headphones in the bedroom "driving his mother crazy", really paid off. "I guess". Now married with children , this guy still finds time to shred it up for the hords on the weekends. Without the support he gets from his family , this would not be possible. "Thanx Mary" Musical interests are as follows… "Metallica , Slayer , Dream Theater , Suicidal Tendencies , Sepaltura , Iron Maiden , Godsmack , Rush , Day's of the new , TOOL , Creed , Nuclear Assault , Testament , AC/DC… If you hadn't noticed the equipment Carl uses , It's a 10 piece" and I mean larger then life" Ludwig drum kit.
