Hudson Carpenter has been playing drums since 1998. He started playing when he decided that music was one of the most important things to him. He got a crappy old used Ludwig kit which he despised and practiced infrequently for about a year. He became more enthusiastic about music and finally met Cal who was eager to start a band. He now is the proud owner of a Tama Rockstar Custom kit in "Custom Blue" finish. He has an assortment of Zildjian and Sabian cymbals. Favorite drummers of Hudson's include Chad Smith, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimmy Chamberlin of the Smashing Pumpkins, and Danny Carey from Tool: without question the greatest drummer on the planet. Blink-182 and Sum 41 are not his influences.
