Colin Rebert : Drums
 Colin started playing drums when he was 14, following a failed attempt at learning guitar (the lessons did not keep Colin interested). His first kit was a cheap three-piece Slingerland he bought from a friend for $25 and began to slam away. Interestingly enough, Colin has never had a formal drum lesson with the exception of a drum major showing him how to hold his sticks correctly! He loved the punk and metal music of the day and would listen to records in his basement for hours on end attempting to replicate what he heard. Colin would mash on everything from Metallica to the Dead Kennedys.
 Colin started peforming in bands at the young age of 16 and has continued ever since. Most of his musical projects have been hardcore/punk groups with a few side experiments in between. He has written and performed original and cover material all along the east coast. Colin is fairly well-traveled for his age with his roots being set in Morgantown, WV; Greensboro, NC; and most recently Frostburg, MD. Don't let his mild manners and accountant looks fool you... this guy rocks out ten times as hard as any drummer you've ever seen!
 Prior to joining One-Eyed Jack, Colin has performed with Uk (pronounced ook), The Peckerheads, The Warriors, Law Biting Citizens, Ex-Alpha, and The Monkey Knife Fights. He really enjoys western Maryland and the opportunity with such "down-to-earth, talented, cool guys". The other band members have affectionately nicknamed him "number 5", in a similar convention used by the band, "Slipknot" for naming its performers. It is purely coincidental that he is the fifth drummer for the band since its inception.
