Eric
Bateman, 26, was fairly uninterested in playing music until late in
high school when he had the opportunity to play a friend's electronic
drum kit. After a few casual jam sessions, he purchased a kit of his
own. His main influences grew from Dave Grohl and Dave Narcizo of Throwing
Muses. The next year was spent honing his skills with an East Bay band.
However, Eric ultimately decided to join Copper Ocean, where he is in
charge of drumming and making the girlies scream.
