Derrick Halsey

Derrick Conan Halsey (born August 16, 1987) is an American drummer. He was the percussionist/bandleader of the five-piece metal band Triple Seven. Opposite Ray Drieberg, he was the only member of the original lineup on board longer than the others. He was chiefly responsible for lyricism and compositional duties; though it's said Ash Erickson had a hand in composing Lilith's Epiphany and Vampirous Vitality. Concerning the lyrics, ex-vocalist Brendon Porkart wrote the words for the music on The Painkiller That Committed Suicide, bits and bobs of his pen game were still on A Prayer for the Damned.
Halsey was fired from the troupe in the Spring of 2015 due to unprofessional behavior. Going off the remaining mates' comments, his standoffish attitude, propensity for violent disagreements and untruths got him the boot. Another reason he was shown the door was his refusal to let anyone else make significant contributions to the creative process.
