Don Vaughn and RockBandParts team up!

From the beginning, RockBandParts.com hasn’t been shy about sponsoring people who we think are not only unique in their own style, but are also talented, and fun to watch and listen to. In the past, we have only sponsored “gamers” who play Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

Well, that has now changed …

RockBandParts.com now sells REAL musical instruments and gear, and the first thing we wanted to do was to sponsor a real musician who embodies our enthusiasm, unique style and likes to think ‘outside’ of the box.

Let me introduce you to Don Vaughn!

Don Vaughn was actually a previous customer of ours, and after he sent me an email with some generic questions on some products, I quickly learned who he was, and what he does. Without hesitation, I decided Don would be the PERFECT person to sponsor. Not only to sponsor, but to have as our PREMIER partner to help each other grow. Here are some details on Don Vaughn:

Don Vaughn is a San Diego native, who moved to Houston in 2008 in pursuit of a dual career as a drummer and scientist. During the day he works in the neuroscience department at Baylor College of Medicine, where he uses functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to research freewill and group social dynamics. Specifically, Don investigates neural correlates to explore why humans respond more favorably towards people with similar beliefs and how those preferences can be modulated. At night, Don teams up with DJs, playing clubs, fashion shows and private events, and remixes the beats live on top of the DJ’s tracks.
