sterling williams:

sterling came to the band while james was playing in another band. before sterling, the drang was on the verge of lulling listeners to sleep. he brought the rock and the big drums. his addition was crucial to the drang finding their sound. it forced james to experiment with the guitar and synths. sterling also brought a lot of attitude to the table. the other guys were quiet and passive, but sw1 brought some passion and confrontation. a great drummer and a great friend was lost when he left the band.

brian brewer:

around the time of goldenwest, the drang had many friends sit in on their sets: violin, vibes, timpani, keyboards, sitar... yes, that is how brian first came to the band. he played the sitar for a 45 minute jam at a local art show. being a much more talented guitarist than indian guru, brian was soon asked to join the band. his "quarter trick" fit like a puzzle piece into ester drang's sound. but as well as he fit, he didn't stay long. about a year later brian left the drang to pursue finical stability and the love of a girl and a beagle.

david motter:

some may remember the days when david and james had a huge keyboard station right in the middle of the stage. it seemed as though they were the gears making the machine go. "those were the funnest days for me. i thought there was a great chemistry there," david reminisced. "i loved being up there. james and i fed off of each other." it was hard for him to leave the band, but david felt the time had come. he now spends his free time working on graphic design, playing keyboards in a new band, and spending time with his girlfriend.
