Kris Kohls of "Adema" is one of rock's most accomplished drummers/musicians. From his hometown of Bakersfield to the main stage at Ozzfest, Kris was destined to be one of rocks most talented musicians. Kris started out with his hometown Band "Cradle of Thorns" which spawned "Videodrone" signed by Korn's label Elementree Records. Kris and his five piece band "Adema" made headlines when they were signed with Arista Records. "Adema" was the first rock band signed by the record company's President L.A. Reid, and later went Gold. Kris was the original drummer for "Brides of Destruction" formed by Motely Crue's Nikki Sixx, and Tracii Guns of Guns n Roses, because of his touring schedule with Adema, he had to withdraw. Adema's first two singles, "Giving In" and "The Way You Like It", were Modern Rock radio hits that pushed Adema to near-platinum sales status.

The Bakersfield quintet's instantaneous fan base was cemented by an almost unheard-of coup -- landing on the main stage of the 2001-2 Ozzfest merely on the strength of their first cd. Kris stayed on the road for more than a year, touring with the likes of LINKIN PARK, DROWNING POOL, DISTURBED, CYPRESS HILL, and many, many more acts. They stayed on the road for well over a year and 1/2 A review of Adema's debut in London's prestigious NME raved: "Adema's visceral, artfully succinct rock punch comes brilliantly wrapped in killer whistleable tunes." Rolling Stone wrote: "Moody, hard and melodic, a creative palette of soaring solos, singing lines and textures." Kris is now working with the original lineup of Adema and is recording his first solo album "Don't Try Rock n Roll" which is due to be released fall of 2012. Stay tuned!
