Please Help Us In Welcoming.....

[Dave - Power of Omens]

Power of Omens' latest addition to the family...

Derron Bell!!!!!

Derron comes to us from Dallas, TX and will be the band's new drummer.

His audition video really had a big impact on us.... especially after knowing it only took him 4 hours to learn 2 of our songs...I've added 2 small clips on this page from the video Derron sent us:

http://www.powerofomens.com/Derron.htm

We will have his Bio & new E-mail address up as soon as we can. His chops, knowledge, flexabilty, and ability to learn quickly were the biggest factors in his addition to the band. We will begin work on new material with him within the weeks to come.

Please help us in making Derron feel welcomed and at home!!!!

All the Best,
~Dave & Chris

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, if he was able to learn that quickly he should indeed be a great addition to the band...welcome Derron.

 

[MetalAges]

It is quite amazing what he learned in that little of time, especially with Power of Omens!

Welcome aboard Derron!

Welcome to the band Darron. You sound like a really talented drummer, and I look forward to what you will bring to Power Of Omens!


@Dave, way to go, great pick. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I hope all goes well with him.

Damn. That's all I can say. Derron, you kick ass as a drummer. I even showed the video to my friend Jonah from Pyramaze (keys) who even says you rule. Welcome to Power of Omens man!

OMDave--i'm swamped like you wouldn't believe, but i WILL try to get to your questions! and yes, i'll join you all for the afore-mentioned victuals! (and yes, i did go to OSU)

ps--don't worry--Dave is cracking the whip already! oh geez, what did i get myself into??

 

[MichaelKohsiek]

Hey Derron!
Welcome to the band!!
I hope you know what you did, eh? Now crack the whip yourself and get the boys hammering out a new disc soon, okay? Maybe you can convince Dave of inviting the mighty John Arch as a guest singer on the new record?

Take care, Derron!
Michael

Not to scoop or embarrass...

Most of you know OSU has a great football tradition...right?? For now, I going to assume you do know! He Hee I'd thought you should also know that OSU has the best marching band and drum corp. in the US and our new PofO bro, Derron is from this great OSU drumming tradition! Please hear these powerful OSU samples of THE BEST DRUM CORP in college in action!!

FYI: Once saw Derron's videos and had this OSU realization, I knew Derron would be perfect for PofO's future!



Go Bucks!!

Derron,

Welcome to the PofO family (PofO and forum)! So you use a traditional grip (video)? What other drummers do you like? Please tell us about your current kit. What inspired your application to PofO? Thoughts on Alex's parts at this point. A list a fav. drummers? Oh, please join Dave, Chris and Tank and I for some bier and BBQ! Welcome bro!!

1.I do not typically use traditional on drumset, unless I'm playing jazz or lighter stuff and then I only incorporate it now and then. On a marching drum, of course, different story.

2/3.Check out the bio coming soon!

4.I must admit that my first email to Dave was one of those "let's just put it out there and see what happens" kinds of things. However, I have always wanted to be a part of a unique, complex, challenging band that wasn't afraid of venturing into extremely creative concepts. I think I found it! Moving the band to Dallas put it into the right place at the right time for me.

5.What needs to be said about Alex's music? Heh heh...way original, obviously challenging. Transcribing and learning his stuff has definitely changed my perspective and added loads of creative ideas to my own method of approach. I will owe a lot to Alex in the future writing process.

Oh, and just to be clear, I noticed you're from Ohio and a Buckeye...but I went to "OSU South" --- Oklahoma State! Go Cowboys!!!!

 

[OblivionOcean]

Welcome to the fold!

Saw your videos, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed, haha.

And I'm not even going to try to fathom how you transcribed/learned some of Alex's lines so fast

Can't wait to start hearing some of your contributions... good luck with the band!!

 

[The Wickerman]

Greetings. Can't wait to you hear you on the new album.

 

[Tank101]

[Jax]

Welcome to the PofO family, Derron!

 

[OmDave]

Ha Ha Ha! It pays to wait for the offical bio. HE HE!! Derron, I am just glad that you are well grounded music theory and now in PofO!!! OSU - I should have know better!!

OOOO Yes! The BBQ Pit! I will actually bring a smoker and a HOT sauce that is at LEAST as HOT as Derron's audition and the PofO CDs!!

Cheers!!

 

[Collapse Generation]

Welcome Derron!

I`m a relatively big fan of Power of Omens, from all across the pond!
