Hello!
A lifetime behind
the kit.
“So how does this song start again?”
My name is Scott Vonheim and I've been playing drums most of my life. From bars to black-tie affairs, you name it and I've probably played it! Please enjoy some of my band photos from over the years. I'm still discovering new pictures from friends once in a while... fun stuff! Where did the time go!? Cheers! Scott
