In his spare time Tim enjoys cooking, softball, and his side project, Black Eyed Angels (a drum and bass hard rock duo).

Josh Pultorak brings a rich variety of influences to his drumset playing for VGHT. Perhaps the most notable of which comes from his extensive study of world percussion.

As an undergraduate at Miami University, he was the drumset player for the school's widely respected Trinidadian-inspired steel band, for which he participated in the recording of two albums and performed on numerous occasions with world-wide acclaimed jazz pan players Andy Narell and Liam Teague.

Since then he's studied under a number of master percussionists learning the subtleties of Brazilian percussion and is an active participant in a number of local samba and maracatu ensembles in Madison, WI.

When he's not laying down grooves for VGHT, he's working toward his PhD in Zoology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Dr Beats is a mercurial presence in the band and while no-one can ever know when the good doctor will be "in", you just might catch him joining in at an up-coming VGHT show! An ever-evolving master of the percussive arts, Dr Beats provides the best in massive, sequential rhythmic onslaughts. A graduate of Beat U in Metronomics, Dr Beats specializes in, Flams, Para-Diddles, 3/2 son clave, upbeats and never playing on the 1.

When taking time off of drums, Dr Beats enjoys playing drums.

Dr. Beats comes from a background of Drum Corps and Brazilian Samba School as well as speed metal and New Orleans Brass Band Traditions.

Recently he has delved into the realm of computer music and DJ-ing. Dr Beats produces Dub-Step and world grooves alongside real time video and light sequencing, for the creation of new realms of personal enjoyment.

In his free time Dr Beats enjoys climbing on rocks, doing handstands, and planning for impending Armageddon. His influences include, The Mars Volta, Shpongle, John Cage, Pretty Lights, and Led Zepplin to name a few. Also anything that has ever made noise EVER.

Dr Beats hopes to one day live on a tropical island surrounded by beautiful ladies and synthesizers. Oh and Drums, lots of Drums.
