Bio: Daniel is a long time musician and gamer, and from the first time he set foot on a Dance Dance Revolution pad his true passion was born. He has played the drums for eleven years and performed with multiple rock and punk groups throughout college and high school. He also played percussion in a symphonic band for six years. His interest in electronic music lead him to computer based music composition and he has composed hours of original music.
His ear for complex rhythms has helped him excel at music games. He was in the top 100 players worldwide on Rock Band drums and in the top 10 worldwide Stepmania players. He painstakingly created note charts for over thirty songs for Stepmania, catering to the elite players with blisteringly fast runs and complex, subtle rhythms. He also created easier charts meant for dance pad play or beginner keyboard players.
His true dream is to create drum charts for Rock Band, and with the
Rock Band Network and
Music Game Authors, he can finally realize it.
