I think it's kinda interesting and I thought this section's screaming for it so there:

Full Name: Dominic James Howard

Born: 7th December 1977

Place of Birth: Stockport

Instrument: Drums and percussion

Dom was born on the 7th December 1977, in Stockport near Manchester. His family moved to Teignmouth when he was 8 or 9.

He got into music at the age of 5, when he discovered his older sisters keyboards, but his interest in music didn't really start until he saw a jazz band performing at school when he was 11.

He befriended Matt, and they played in school bands together, eventually linking up with Chris.

Dom's influences include Jimi Hendrix, Radiohead, Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine and Pavement.

Dom is left handed.

Matt says he has a 'faff bag' where he stores such essential items as mouthwash, moisturisers and other such items.

His favourite cheese is apparently Brie.

His previous jobs include helping students dress for graduation ceremonies, working as a school canteen assistant, and packing Spice girls T-Shirts in a factory.

He wants 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen playing at his funeral.

His perfect girlfriend likes good food, restaurants and kinky sex.

One of his hobbies is snowboarding.

He doesn't like people who talk in films.

He adores vividly coloured trousers.

He has developed a liking for dressing as spiderman in gigs from 2006 onwards.

Once Bellamy filmed Dom having sex with a groupie.

He's a good cook.

He says the following about love in the October 2003 edition of RockSound magazine:

"Love is something that makes you smile whenever they are there, it makes you happy and gives you the feeling of contentment. It's about giving without wanting to get anything back. That's the most basic way of explaining it, when you get pleasure from giving yourself and your time to another person, expressing things and expressing another side to you that no one else knows. It's when you can talk about anything, like your worst fears - you can be truly open in a way that you can't be with anyone else."

He considers himself to be 'sad, negative and pessimistic' but also 'happy, honest and optimistic'.

Dom's favourite Simpsons character is Doctor Hibbert.

Chris says Dom is the most laid back person he knows.

He has a dog called Hendrix, named after Jimi Hendrix, the person he'd most like to meet.

He was learning to fly helicopters.

Dom has been voted 'Happiest Drummer' several times in Rhythm' magazine.

His favourite place in the world is either on a reef, or sitting on top of a mountain in Mirabel, France getting scared of the black run;

When he was a kid he had a bunny called Flopsy.

Dom can play guitar.
