BIOGRAPHY Weaver was born in Nashville, Tennessee where he attended High School at Glencliff High School . He was part of a school jazz band playing at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium . As a result of a radio interview it was found out that he hates Nibs more than anything else in the whole world. In 1969 he graduated and continued to study in Trevecca Nazarene College . There he obtained a B.A. in percussion. After graduating he went on to work with several artists. He was a session player for Randy Mathews and Fireworks, also touring with Mathews and Crossfire. He also played with Parable , Good Grief , and Chuck McCloud 's Band. In 1981 he joined Petra becoming a staple of the band with his trademark drumming and style. After 22 years, he was fired in 2003 amidst some controversy. Both Petra and Weaver dissipated all of it and little has been discussed of the issue afterwards. He was replaced by Paul Simmons . In 2005 he collaborated with '' Project Damage Control '' with John Schlitt in vocals. He is currently a tour bus driver, while working on a new band called '' Viktor '' with other well-known veteran musicians. This project is being produced and engineered by John Lawry (former Petra bandmate/keyboardist). TRIVIA
