This is Abran Cunningham,
or Abe just for short. He is the youngest member of the Deftones, being
born on July 27th 1973. He is married to Annalyn and he also plays the
drums for the band. He is always giving tributes to his parents who taught
him how to play the drums. He has one of his nipples pierced and enjoys
listening to Elvis Costello.
Abe has previously worked in a band
called Fallacy but didn't like their stlye of music and hence joined the
Deftones. His previous jobs consisted of working as a waiter, busboy and a
cook in a restaurant. Abe enjoys a good beer and loved football [soccer in
American talk!] as a youngster...in my opinion he has a good taste in
sports.....
