DOMENIC PINTO :: DRUMS

D.O.B. January 2nd, 1978.
Birth Place Melbourne, Australia.
Musical Influences All genres of metal including early 80’s rock to hard core Black Metal.
Interests Learning different styles of drumming, keeping in touch with the latest in the metal scene, watching local and international acts.

From a growing interest in watching his dad (guitarist/keyboards) in a band at the early age of 5, Domenic grew fond of having the opportunity to play on his father’s band’s Pearl drum kit of which he still rocks on with today!

His further interest in music challenged him to take up drum lessons at the age of 10, and inspired 7years of intense reading and playing from an array of styles such as jazz-rock, funk, afro-Cuban etc. He attended various clinics and music events which enthused him to start up a band of his own.

After playing in a school band, performing live, filming and experiencing studio time, his passion for Metal was evident and the search for a band that shared the same interest in various styles of Metal was found in October 1998 when Crimsonfire was born.

Equipment: 5 piece silver Pearl drum kit, Sabian/Zildjian Cymbals on a mounted rack system.
