Gene Simmons Band guitarist Jason Walker was born to play music – literally. “One of my first memories is actually me singing in my crib,” he tells Guitar World. “It woke my parents up – I found this thing I liked to do!” That “thing” soon became less of a habit and more of an aspiration, though it wasn’t the guitar that initially piqued his interest.
“My first instrument was a coffee and creamer tin drum kit I fashioned on the floor from various cans. I used welding rods for drumsticks. I even used a can opener on the bottom of an empty one to loosen a makeshift cymbal – my young ingenuity! Then I would play along to tapes.”
