Noe was inspired to learn the drums by his next door neighbor. He heard the neighbor play and Noe was hooked. He started learning when he was 15. He is still

learning. He also plays guitar, bass, and some keyboard, but he loves the drums the most. He has played in many different bands in his musical career with such

musical styles as tejano, jazz, rock, orchestra, country and rhythm and blues. As far as music preferences, he likes a wide array of styles, jazz, rock, new wave,

easy listening, alternative and blues. Artists such as Steve Morse, Gary Moore, Eric Johnson, Tears for Fears, The Fixx, Inxs, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Dream

Theatre, The Carpenters, Def Leppard, Journey, Chick Corea, Dave Matthews, U2 etc... Noe's playing style is a reflection of the music he listens to. His idols

are Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Carter Beauford, Danny Carey, Dennis Chambers, because he cannot play like them yet.
