move equipment info out of biography

although he did assist in the design of the cee lite kit, which is somewhat biography-worthy, it is a pretty equipment specific section and I think it should be moved down to the equipment section

Year of birth

His year of birth is 1961, not 1962

his year of birth has always been said to be 1962....

NPOV

Much of this article needs to be cleaned up including:

fired by multiple employers, including a paint company (screwed up a big order)
a Gap (never mastered the sweater fold) and a pancake house (spilled a vat of maple syrup)
All he wanted to do was play drums
"barely graduating"

and other lines needs much cite work, sources and general cleanup

On the page itself, it mentions that he sung on Rhythm Train. Surely that would warrant vocals in the instrument section, and a change of type from non_vocal_instrumentalist to solo_singer? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.68.240.7 (talk) 04:12, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. He also 'sings' backing vocals in I'll Be Your Domino. AddingInstruments (talk) 09:28, 2 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
