Editing Robo (musician) (section)

==Playing style==
Robo's drum style relies heavily on open [[Hi-hat (instrument)|high-hat]] to generate the frenetic sounds on early Black Flag records. His signature drum kit during that era was transparent to match [[Greg Ginn]]'s see-through [[Dan Armstrong]] guitar, and was unique in that all of the drums and cymbals were parallel to the ground rather than tilted towards him in the typical style. He was also known for wearing plastic and metal bracelets during concerts and recording sessions; they can sometimes be heard faintly clattering on recordings. While many drummers utilize a style which uses quick movements originating from the wrist, Robo's style consists of stiff, robotic movements of the entire arm. His stage name was given to him by his Black Flag bandmates, and is both a play on his name (Roberto) and a reference to his drumming style.
