Deryck can also play the drums and somtimes lets fellow band-mate Steve do all the singing.

He used to be a huge fan of basketball but went off it since his basketball hero, Micheal Jordan, quit. He does most of his shopping at Goodwell and Thrift stores and has spent at the most, $20 on an item of clothing. He uses orange 0.66mm. guitar picks, a Gibson guitar with 6 strings and a Marshall 100 watt stack amplifier. He loves French toast for breakfast and, as a snack, his fave is cookie dough. He measures only 5'5 feet and his current girlfriend, Paris Hilton is said to be always teasing him about it. His shoe size is 7 and his mum works as a nurse. He is said to be wanting to make a clothing make called ' Evil Dwarf Clothing Cult.' His fave live band is Green Day and he has been cutting his own hait with kitchen scissors for years. He hates all animals.
