Biography

Cole Miner. A drummer from Defiance, Ohio with an insane name, and an even more insane playing style. Cole has over 20 years experience behind a drum kit, and over 10 years playing live music. Born the son of a drummer. Cole has always had an odd fascination and attachment to heavy music. After getting his first drum kit at the age of 2, he has devoted his entire life to mastering his craft. From skipping school to stay home and jam along to metal records for hours on end, to touring and playing shows along side some of his heroes before he was even 20. While building a reputation in his regional area as a monster behind his sparkling green Mapex spaceship, Cole also takes a great amount of pride in making countless friends in the music business, being a dad, husband, running his family restaurant, and teaching his drum students to play with pride and passion. Using what little free time he has in the early hours every morning obsessively attempting to push his abilities beyond what should be possible.
