Adam Coopersmith

I play the drums. I make up songs. I mess around on piano. I dabble on guitar, bass, trumpet, harmonica, recorder. I fiddle around with electronic synthesizers and digital music, reason, beats and loops. I sing to myself. I freaking LOVE music. Mostly, I hope to make a loud positive noise in the universe. I was born and raised in Half Moon Bay, CA. My rhythmical instincts began when every week my family would celebrate Shabbat, the Jewish sabbath. We would sing and bang rhythms on the table during the blessing for wine. Also, my hippie-ass parents were always playing records of Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, ocassionaly Ravi Shankar, Crosby Stills and Nash, Thelonious Monk as well singing all kinds of folk songs and playing their acoustic guitars. That's pretty much where I'm coming from. I began taking piano lessons at the age of four and learned to read music before I could read words. At age eight I switched to drums and I've been hooked ever since. I wanna do music for ever. Thanks For Listening!
