Brian Doerner - Drums - Vocals

Brent's twin brother Brian Doerner is legend on the skins. His discography reads like a “who's-who” of rock: Helix, Saga, Brian Vollmer, Ray Lyell, Refugee, Myles Hunter, and more. He first picked up the sticks after seeing the Beatles on TV in '65, and he's been pounding out the beats ever since. A respected session man and teacher, he regularly tops drum magazine polls in Canada . Since joining Decibel, Brian has inspired the others to new levels in their playing. When he plays, people pay attention, and you will too.

Excerpt from review of Brian's first appearance with deciBel...
The show was not without technical problems, but the band overcame with lots of comedy courtesy of Brian Doerner, and a wicked impromptu drum solo from the rock god. In the dark. He couldn't have even seen what he was doing, but did that solo ever smoke. While some bands would view a blackout as a disaster, Decibel turned it into a rare chance to see a drum solo by one of Canada 's—no, the WORLD'S—best stick-bashers.
