Drums

Always listening to classic rock in the back seat of car rides with his family, Ben attained an interest in music early on. Ben began his drum instruction at School of Rock Arlington Heights at age 7.  At age 10 he began performing, making his way to School of Rock's elite Houseband before eventually playing at Summer Fest in 2022. Over the many years of playing and performing Ben has seen his influence stem from drumming greats such as the likes of Keith Moon of the Who,  John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Neil Peart of Rush, and Danny Seraphine of Chicago. However, his real passion for drumming came from his very first drum instructor Joe Babiak. When he's not performing on stage, Ben can always be found listening to music at home, at the park, and of course, the car.

Blake began exploring music at 8 years old while living in Lisbon, Portugal for two years. He first started with classical guitar, learning the basics of being a musician and performing in front of his school, friends, and family. At 10 years old after moving back to states, he joined School of Rock in Arlington Heights and began playing electric guitar. Despite wanting to be a dedicated guitar player, he was later instructed to pick up bass and spent a lot more time learning the fundamentals of the instrument. Ranging from musicians like Pino Paladino and Nathan Watts, he learned from their styles and eventually got into the two highest programs of School of Rock - Houseband and All-Stars. Blake recieves instruction from a Chicago bassist with a degree in jazz from Columbia College. As a sophomore at Buffalo Grove High School, Blake also participates in the school marching band and jazz ensemble. Blake wants to continue in the music world for the long run.
