Kurt, Kickin' Ass...

Hellow you, it's me again... Thanks for coming to the PUSHT page. It all started When I was little, with my butter containers, Pringles cans and my aluminum pie pans. My sticks were no.2 pencils. Hey! Maybe I should have asked Parkay, and Pringles for an endorsement. Anyway, I use to take different amounts of paper towels and stick them in the containers to make different sounds. I imagine I made quite a racket.

When I got farther along in school I took band and of course I played the drums. The teacher I had wasn't worth a damn, she was more interested in the other instruments and spent very little time with drums. So I basically had to teach myself. When I was in 6th or 7th grade my parents bought me my first drum set. I set them up in the basement and began to learn how to play a drum set. I use to put head phones on and play to music. I played to groups like Ozzy, AC/DC, Motley Crue, Van Halen, The Who, Tom Petty, just to name a few.

When I got into high school I didn't go out for band my first year because they had the teacher I had in grade school and I felt I could learn more on my own. The next year they got a new teacher. He was a big time jazz player. He could play about any instrument. So I went out for band, jazz band, and marching band. He really taught me a lot about music. He let me have the freedom to create from my mind and my heart.

After high school I went into the military and didn't play for six years. Then in 1995 I bought a drum set and started again where I left off. I practiced several hours a day for three months, playing to other bands. Then I hooked up with Eric. After jamming for a few months we decided to play at his birthday in front of a bunch of his friends. Lo and behold enter Ron and Stacy Corbin. Me and Eric joined forces with them to form Entry Level Position. We did release a CD and got some decent radio play on the Lazer Local Show in Lawrence, KS. Eric ended up leaving the band to pursue other interests.

About a year later I left the band feeling burned out and wanting nothing to do with the music scene. I didn't start to get the drive back until after four months had passed. At this time in February 1999 I joined up with Eric again and went back to Entry Level Position. I done the two band thing for about a year and have now left Entry Level Position In 2000 to pursue my place in PUSHT.
