Aloha.

My name is Ken. I play drums in this band. I am approximately 5ft 8in tall and weigh approximately 145lbs. I live in America, which is why I decided to give my measurements using the Standard System of measurement rather than the Metric System of measurement. Many Americans, myself included, are not very capable when it comes to using the Metric System. Most Americans see it as a big, confusing waste of time, and that the rest of the world should just conform to the American Standard System of measurement. I have a better, more logical plan. It would stand to reason that the Metric System should be referred to as the Standard System, since the entire world, excluding the United States uses it as the standard system of measurement. The Standard System of measurement should be called the American System. I think things would be a lot easier if this were the case. And everyone would be happier and more productive as members of their respective society.

But I digress…

When I am not working diligently in my home recording studio, Beef Studio, it is safe to assume that I am somewhere in the forest. I like it in the forest. It’s quiet and clean. I love nature. It is a major source of creative inspiration for me. Here is a list of other things I find to be inspirational…

- food
- sleep
- my special lady friend, Lindsey
- films
- COFFEE
- my dog, Ginger
- weather
- children
- jazz
- haircuts
- COFFEE
- mountains
- COFFEE
