Baltimore-based drummer Colin “Tank” Wheeler is known for his explosive power, precise control, and high-octane presence behind the kit. A driving force in the Mid-Atlantic heavy music scene, Tank delivers raw, emotional performances built on thunderous grooves and a unique physical style all his own.
*Currently holding down the rhythm for Sonic Creeps, HTD, Pornomint, and 13prisons, Wheeler channels his wide-ranging influences — from John Bonham’s massive feel and Dave Grohl’s relentless energy to the technical brilliance of Danny Carey and the creativity of Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan. His playing fuses emotion and aggression with perfectionist precision, locking every note into place while still hitting with heart.
As a proud Soultone Cymbals artist, Wheeler relies on the company’s dynamic tone, power, and responsiveness to match his style on stage and in the studio.

“Soultone cymbals respond to everything I throw at them. They’re bold, articulate, and built to take a beating — just like my playing.”
Known for commanding stages up and down the the DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania region, Colin “Tank” Wheeler continues to push boundaries, delivering performances that balance pure force with musicality and feel — always flying the flag for heavy music and the unmistakable Soultone sound.
