DOMKcast with Robb Rivera of Nonpoint

A unique style of playing the drums was cultivated at an early age.
Robb Rivera of Nonpoint taught himself how to play the drums using
his mothers pots and pans. He sat and memorized the drum parts of
Neal Peart. Listening to classics from Rush, Robb honed his skills
with his keen sense of hearing. His father, an avid baseball fan,
passed that passion down to his son as well. Robb was named after
his fathers favorite baseball player Roberto Clementa.

Nonpoint has been around for 21 years and still going strong. Their
in the process of wrapping up the finishing touches on a brand new
album and out on the road with the Butcher Babies on the Kings
& Queens tour. At this juncture in their career, they are
completely independent and enjoying not being tied down to a record
label. Robb talked about the passion behind their music and what
keeps them going.

An old school hip hop guy, hear what Robb’s ideal collaboration
would be and if the band has any intentions of including more
covers on their new album. Nonpoint’s past success with “In The Air
Tonight” (Phil Collins Tune) is still one of their more popular
tracks and a fan favorite. See Nonpoint at Rocklahoma this year on
the Sunday lineup. Enjoy with full conversation with Robb Rivera on
Episode 57 of the DOMKcast.
