Tyler Raines
Drums / Percussion
Age 30
Intense and focused with a dry sense of humor that surfaces after takes, Tyler demands precision but celebrates when the groove clicks; onstage he plays seated low, eyes half-closed, radiating quiet authority.
Backstory
A Berklee dropout who cut his teeth on Austin’s club circuit, Tyler joined after responding to a Craigslist ad for a drummer who could play 16th-note hi-hat patterns; his pocket-first approach sealed the band’s sound.
Gear
1970s Ludwig Classic Maple kit, 14" snare, Zildjian cymbals.
Visual Identity
Compact and athletic at 5'9", Tyler has short black hair buzzed on the sides, dark brown eyes, and a clean-shaven face with a small scar above his left eyebrow. He wears black slim-fit pants, a plain gray pocket tee, black canvas sneakers, and a black rubber watch.
