Hello, I'm Chris or Topher if you would prefer it. I'm a 20 year old student and drummer. Recently I decided to try out my skill in the whole- Laptop DJ thing ( just Garageband, but I will soon add lots of live drum and handsonic loops. Also, creating songs wth just drums a handsonic and whatever rythmic instruments I can find, to try my luck at One Man Banding it, hah. Anyway that's about it... Anway, I call my other persona- Burnt Tophst. Hope you enjoy it.

Musical interests and background

I've been playing drums since I was 10, so going on roughly ten-years now. I enjoy playing anything from lo-fi rock to psychadelic indie, odd-timings, and my beloved just kickin' a beat. I always find it difficult to categorize some of the band's Iam interested in, dulls things down a bit for me. But.. If I'd have to throw some genre's out there-- Post Rock, Indie, Lo-Fi, Punk, Modern Folk, Electronica, Bands who focus a lot of attention on riding the looops. . .
