The Diamond Simon and the Roughcuts experience

Steve Royal is, in many ways just right for the Roughcuts.  This is evident in how well he gets along with the Roughcuts personnel.  When asked what he likes about working with this band, he says, “Not only do I genuinely like everybody in the band, which is rare, but everybody is so open to trying different styles of tunes.  I think it’s that we’re about the music. Nobody’s sitting here going, ‘We want to be the next Dave Matthews.’ Nobody’s trying to be someone else.  I think we’ve outgrown that or gone down the road too far to know that you can’t be nobody but yourself.”

What Steve likes about making music

“The collaboration with people, putting the music together, you know, the discipline of it.”  You can certainly hear the discipline in Steve’s tight, measured drum lines.  “Every time I work with people I learn something.”
