Fernando Lemus – Drum Cover – As I Lay Dying – My Own Grave

Hello everyone, my name is Fernando Lemus, and I’m based in San Antonio Texas. I started playing drums in 2006 at the age of 11. I grew up watching other drummers like George Kollias, Derek Roddy, Tommy Igoe, and Mike Portnoy, trying to emulate their styles & performances. I wanted to be like them, always striving for more out of their instruments while already pushing the envelope. It led to me rehearsing for hours on end always pushing myself and trying to be just a little bit better each day.

This video is me performing ‘My Own Grave,’ by As I Lay Dying.

Former drummer for Silence the Messenger (2011-2016) I’m currently freelance, providing engineering and session work from my home recording studio, Proteus Studios.

While I currently don’t have any shows coming up, my good friends and old band-mates in, Within the Ruins, will be going out on the road with As I Lay Dying in November! Be sure to check them out!
