Chad Edwards
Drums
Born in Decatur Illinois, he knew he wanted to play music in some shape or form from the beginning. In elementary school when he was old enough to start playing in band, he originally wanted to play the saxophone but was denied so he thought "then I'll play drums" and played all the way through high school and joining the marching band. Chad's frist band was in high school and it was a punk band named Yea Sam, who got the opportunity to open for Blink182. Upon graduation from high school, Chad played 2 years in the ASU Marching Band. Through the years he has played in tribute bands in Arizona, until Rick found and recruited him the play drums for TRIDON. Paying drums and creating that "WOW" live show and writing songs in his passion and happy place in life!
Brian Pristelski
BASS/ BACKING VOCALS
From an early age, Brian was drawn to the low end—the thunder, the pulse, and the groove that make a crowd come alive. The bass felt instinctive in his hands, and by his teens he was performing alongside top-tier musicians in Chicago’s fast‑rising metal scene, holding down stages at major clubs and sharing bills with national acts.
Over the years, Brian expanded far beyond the role of bassist. He’s also a keyboardist, recording and mixing engineer, and producer, bringing a wide-ranging musical toolkit to every project he touches. Today, he continues to push his craft forward, constantly evolving and elevating what he contributes to the band, the music community, and the stage.
