Randy’s dad, Curly West (stage name) asked Randy at a young age. “Son what musical instrument do you want to play?” Curly was a Vancouver favorite in the Country music circles for his steel guitar and fiddle playing, so needless to say the answer “rock and
roll drummer” was not his first choice for his son,
but he went along with it.

Drums have always been a part of Randy’s life since then and he loves being a student of the instrument. Through the 80’s Randy cut his teeth performing often 5 or 6 nights a week in many original and cover bands throughout Vancouver. Having played over a  decade of music Randy decided it was time to switch gears, get an education, start afamily and his own business which also utilizes his creativity in many other ways.
Now… Randy is back on the drum throne again, and could not be more happy about it.

“Coming back to the scene as a more mature person,
drummer, artist, and musician is such a great
opportunity and I am so happy to be doing it with a
great band like The Lowdown”
