My name is Ben Burkland. I was born in Baltimore, MD and ever since I was in elementary school I knew drums were for me. The path that the gods wanted me to take. I spent a lot of good years in College and learned a lot! So much that it gets kind of long and boring to read it all. Basically I lived in Hutchinson, Kansas for four years where I attended 3 years at the community college which I had a full ride for. I played a lot of Jazz gigs for good money there. Once I moved to Manhattan, Kansas and attended KSU, I started playing in local rock/indie/metal/ska bands. If you're interested in hearing them, just let me know. I now live in LA with my AA in music and my BS in geography.
