Kevin Therrien

KEVIN was born and raised in New England and has had a passion for drums since childhood. He started banging on his Father's kit when he was 12-years old. Since then, he acquired different tastes in music, beginning with grunge and alternative and slowly drifted into metal and fusion styles. Percussion was a mystery until his early college years when he was introduced to Djembes. This helped establish more skillful tribal and polyrhythms that he incorporates into some of his technique. After college, he joined numerous rock and metal bands. He found a new influence in Japanese metal from a former bassist, which provides challenges in time signatures, speed and double bass technique. Kevin is always trying to find new challenges and is driven to improve his level of skill. He tries to go above a beyond what is expected from a drummer, such as using his voice to sing, beat-box and skat. He joined Midnight Falling in March 2008 to finally put his capabilities to use.
