Cameron Wisch

This guy is one of the most under rated and talented musicians I have come across to this date. He’s a past member of The Medics, Le Rug, and Ra Ra Riot, drummer of the math/prog/hardcore trio Zona Mexicana. He writes and records his own original music, which consists of drums, guitar, singing and keys.



Here he is performing "What Star Do You Live On?" a whole lot of thought goes into creating this style of music. He uses difficult time signatures, creative drumming and he put's on a very energetic show. Only singing and playing drums live, he plays along to a track that's been pre-recorded. This takes a lot of skill as he has to be very persistent throughout his whole set, as doing this leaves him no room for mistakes. I just don't really understand why there is barely anyone at this show, I would love to see this spectacle live!!!

Click here to have a listen to some of his songs, if anyone is reading this, or download his CD "Flower Wars" here.









These are some photos taken by Peter Kaiser from "Drums and Paint Performance" at SUNY Purchase, and here is the video...



He is also studying classical composition at SUNY Purchase in New York. Here are some of his compositions...
