A native of Marion Illinois, Brice got his first drum kit at the age of four. Born into a musical family, he got started sitting in with his dad's country band at a young age. In high school, Brice was ranked as one of the top two Jazz drummers by the Illinois Music Educators Association. Brice moved on to study at Nashville's premier music school, Belmont University, where he studied with one of his childhood idols Chester Thompson (Weather Report, Frank Zappa, Genesis, Phil Collins). He was a member of Belmont's Country Ensemble "Southbound", Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Small Group 1&2 and Belmont's prestigious Big Band. It was also during this time that Brice was the recipient of the Larrie Londin Memorial Scholarship from The Percussive Arts Society.
