His first real musical instrument was a cello in 5th grade. But he "bailed as soon as possible to the drums," Pelton said. "I was running around doing gigs at 14, which was a great situation, to actually be in a band that young. The sooner you start making music with other people the better." 〔("New York State of Mind: Shawn Pelton" ), (DW Edge Magazine. ) 2004.
