Steve Birkett

Drums, Percussion and Vocals

Steve brings to AVM a love of music that began as kids imitating the Beatles with their parent's tennis rackets...to growing up and doing live drum performances in New York City. Borrowing from all types of music...Big Band to Progressive, Steve infuses energy into both his live performances and studio work. A self admitted drum fanatic, Steve uses a collection of Slingerland and Ludwig kits along with Zildjian and Paiste cymbals and all matters of percussion. "Most of the work is done on your basic kits, but I love the variety of sounds you can create with big kits."

On AVM: "I love these guys! As musicians, they are the cream of the crop! As people, well I'd have to say I've been blessed to count them as friends! You say that all the new bands sound the same? Not so with AVM!"
