Early Years

Droll was raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he was known as an avid skateboarder and guitarist at an early age. Droll is a self-taught musician, recalling in an early nineties interview:

I haven't been schooled. My brother sold me a guitar when I was ten years old. . . . I think I'm really in love with these damn wooden instruments.

The original lineup of the Gibb Droll band conisted of Droll on guitar, Tom Hall on bass, and Mike Williams (aka Funk Bubble) on drums.
