Jym is a local boy from Fremont, CA, about 3 years younger than
Dr. Frank, who did not go on to college. He quit a bank job when
MTX shifted into a full-time commitment. His immediate prior
band had been called the Slambodians--as you can tell from the
name, much more hardcore than Mr. T. His sticks fly in 8
smooth directions at once when the tempo cranks up and he's
very strong on the kick-drum. However, what Dr. Frank and Joel
like the best is that he's the steadiest timekeeper they've
ever worked with. Most drummers speed, then drag, then speed
again when they get excited, etc. Jym is diabetic and so has
to be careful during the hard stress of touring, with endless
hours, time changes, strange foods. His own special food bag
is always close by, even on stage.
