Biography

Childhood and early life

Growing up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Murray initially began learning drums at the age of ten, so he could form a band with his brother: "For the first two years of playing all I had was a snare drum with a mute on it. My parents were not thrilled by the idea of drums in the house. I had lessons for the first couple of years that taught me stick control, grip and technique. I learned a lot just on one drum. Until I had a full kit, I set up boxes in place of the missing drums and referenced setups I saw on MTV."[2]

Murray's early influences included Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley, The Smashing Pumpkins' Jimmy Chamberlain and the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Mitch Mitchell.[2]
