Brian Haley has toured the world with numerous acts and played on dozens of sessions. But don't let that fool you.



St. Louis native Brian Haley's true love is whittling, and the music is just a means to support his hobby until he can afford to do it full-time. "Music is cool and all, but whittling is where it's at," explains Brian. "Drumming is just a way to develop my hand-eye coordination, so that I can carve even more realistic-looking elves and unicorns out of driftwood." Due to a semi-botched surgery separating Brian Haley from his siamese twin at birth, he has gone through life with two left feet. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," says Brian, whose unorthodox no-bass-drum-two-hi-hat setup gives him a sound unlike any other drummer.
