==Body Of WorkBiography=====1990===Freese was born in Orlando, Florida, and moved to southern California as a child. At the age of 5 he began playing the drums. By the time he was 12, he was playing in the band at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. He started playing professionally at the age of 15. *Freese came into Nine Inch Nails in September of 2005, when then-drummer Dillon announced he needed some time off to tend to a personal health matter. Freese played two shows with the band before departing to focus on other projects. Carapetis then played drums for a short time. By the end of NIN''Fear s Fall 2005 tour, Freese was available and became the official drummer. On October 8, 2008, Freese announced that the second North American leg of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] would be his last with NIN.
