Keith Johnson
Drums
Keith started playing drums, guitar, and bass at around age 13. He was heavily influenced by bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, and Nirvana. After a few years he started to delve into heavier and heavier music until he finally discovered Nails. After he heard their album "Abandon All Life," he was floored. From that moment onward he was inspired to create sounds that crushed and moved him, which drove him to create his own music. Finally, he found Hollow Intent and was immediately hooked on the music.
Keith uses the following:
Vic Firth 5AN drumsticks
Evans drums skins
Sabian Cymbals
Pearl Drum Kit
