"The Hammer"
A/K/A Rick Maly

Poses as an energy buyer during the early hours of the day. But when the edge of night appears, he climbs onto his throne and becomes the king of rhythm and timing. His eleven-tom Yamaha drum set allows him to dive deep into the rhythm of the music and masterfully direct the definition of the song. He has multiple talents. Hidden in a back corner, he is also a master on the sound board, he can make any band sound greater than it is. It’s this illusion that won him respect in the back halls of recording studios. Many bands in central Iowa have benefitted from his sound engineering expertise. But, the Hammer has his dark side too. Watch out for his sticks, he’ll bean you like a hammer if you make him play country music.
