Gary "Chopper" Blattner is a veteran of many bands centered around the Detroit ~ Toledo Metro area. Devils drummer"Woody" describes Gary's unique musical style as "aggressively percussive and melodic". "Chopper" enjoys playing traditional bass lines, but part of what makes him so great is that he isn’t confined to traditional definitions of what bass lines can be. While moments of complete unison between drums and bass are necessary for a song to groove and utilize cohesion, total unison throughout an entire tune doesn’t afford the players any freedom to add embellishments to their parts. Gary gets it! Gary "Chopper" Blattner migrated to west Michigan, bringing his off the hook riffs, and unique style to the area as a member of~Barely Devils
