here i am...let me know if you like what you see :)[views:43599][posts:161]_____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:50pm - NytroStick ""] A.J. Nystrom is The Nytro Drummer. A true spark plug behind the kit with a no-nonsense work ethic and an insatiable drive to be the best drummer in the world, Nystrom brings years of experience in the studio and on stage to whomever has the privilege of working with him. Practicing on average of 2 to 3 hours per day, "Nytro" is a true believer in the phrase "the harder you work, the luckier you get." Nystrom grew up in the city of Taunton, Massachusetts about 40 minutes southeast of Boston. He began taking formal drum lessons at age 9 under the tutelage of Mark Roscoe- a student, himself, of the incomparable Billy Flanagan who also taught one Steve Smith of Journey and Vital Information fame. "The bug," as it is known, bit A.J. during his sophomore year when he performed a drum solo for the Fine Arts Rally held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. After his performance to the Senior and Sophomore classes he received a thunderous ovation from teachers and students alike. At that point he knew that he wanted to perform for a living. A.J. Nystrom started and performed with a handful of bands that would take him into the recording studio and on the road for club gigs, battles of the bands, and even an appearance on a college TV station to perform an acoustic set. During that time, a guitarist commented about how explosive Nystrom was behind the set. The bassist of the band quickly came up with the nickname "Nytro" as a play on words referring to the unstable nature of nitroglycerine, which was used in dynamite. Currently, Nystrom is battling his way back into the music scene after a 2+ year hiatus to focus on his day job. A.J. is focused, refreshed, and committed to making music his day job, night job, and only job. Nytro is willing and able to perform a large variety of music but his passion and forte lie in the progressive, hard rock, and metal genres. A.J. Nystrom is available for your recording sessions and live performance needs. www.facebook.com/a.j.nystromofficial |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:56pm - NytroStick ""] I'm looking to get back into the music scene after a two-year hiatus in which I focused strictly on my "day job." I'm interested in doing studio work in any genre (although I'm most versed and experienced in the rock, metal, progressive genres) and I'm open to playing live shows as well. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:19pm - ouchdrummer ""] i like that he says: "Practicing on average of 2 to 3 hours per day, "Nytro" is a true believer in the phrase "the harder you work, the luckier you get." ..really dude, you think 2 to 3 hours a day earns you the right to write this bullshit? ha. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 4:30pm - ouchdrummer ""] after re-reading this, i actually believe it's real. The narcissism is something you can find in all variety of musicians, but it's rather common in drummers that are better than mediocre. Saying things like: "Nystrom brings years of experience in the studio and on stage to whomever has the privilege of working with him" ....Priceless |

NytroStick, you sound more like a public relations department than a drummer. I hope you're not a real person. |
