Bio

Charles credits his "Uncle Benny" as his first influence in drumming. He first picked up the sticks at age 6 after watching his uncle play. And shortly there after joined the Kingsmen Drum and Bugle Corps in Fitchburg, MA; this was Charles first experience at diversifying himself in different areas of percussion. At age 18 he joined the Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps and continued to learn the ins and outs of marching percussion, while still continuing to become skilled at the drum set... to read more Charles' bio click here
