Performing the music of Van Halen

Alex Fan Halen embodies bravado peering through his sunglasses behind a larger than life, over the top stage kit plus the persona and performance to match. His style runs the range from tasteful to terrifying, dynamics from delicate to destructive. He describes his unique timbale-like snare drum tone as “the brown sound". All of this intensity influenced by his masters Baker, Bonham & Moon.
