BATTERY DRUMMER INTERVIEW : Blake "blade" Remson / Infinite Sin.

1. My name is Blake "blade" Remson and I play drums in the band Infinite Sin.


Who made you want to play drums and why?


2. Umm, nobody in particular; it was just a habit of nature.

When did you get your first kit? Tell us about it…


3. I got my first drum set when I was eight. Ever since I could remember I would tap and bang on everything ( teachers hated me for it lol). My father noticed my rising interest and asked me if I wanted to go out and get a new set or buy my cousins. I went with my cousins and I don't remember now what brand they were but they were blue.
Where your parents supportive of you and your loud / expensive new habit?


4. Definitely ! My parents were very supportive and still are to this day.


What drum performance on an album is perfection to you?


5. One that comes to mind is for those about to rock by AC/DC. Phil Rudd does his master four on the floor slow and steady Rocking and fucking rolling. That song showcases confident drumming with great dynamics. You can't ask for much more!

Tell us about your current kit and set up in DETAIL

.6. I have a black pearl export Joey jordison series set. 10, 12, 13, 14, & 16 inch Tom's, 14 x 6.5 Tama steelworks snare, three CB rototoms, pearl rack, purple paiste colorsound 900 cymbals (oh yeah baby) DW 9000 double pedal, & Evans drum heads and promark stix; holla at me D'addario!


If you could have a dream kit tell us about it in DETAIL


7. A purple drum set and it will happen soon I can feel it.

Name your top 5 drummers excluding Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy


8. This is a very hard question, I can't narrow it down to just five; I have pages full of drummers but the drummers that have been influential to my playing are Alex Van Halen, Vinnie Paul, Lars Ulrich, Igor Cavalera, Dave Lombardo, Bill Ward, Mitch Mitchell, and Ian Paice to name a few.

Do you prefer Live or Studio?

9. Live all day

Do drummers really get all the chicks and if so how do we convince the guitarist?
  

10. It seems to be that way. There's no getting through to them haha they are too distracted on finding the "perfect" tone ;).
