Stump has been playing drums off and on for over ten years. He is also a skilled musician with a guitar or a saxophone, and has the most music theory of any member of the band! He is responsible for writing many awesome guitar ideas, riffs, and songs!

He digs the drum styles of Vinnie Paul (Pantera) and Abe Cunningham (Deftones). He also enjoys a wide variety of music, especially the work of Michael Schenker from the bands MSG & UFO.

Stump plays a 5-piece, custom built Fibes drum kit. He uses Zildjian and Paste cymbals, and a DW5000 double kick pedal.

Drinking, club hopping, hot cars, no sleep, lots of cigarettes, and drum/guitar gear shopping!
