I am jazz trained and classicly trained. I can read notation from jazz charts to grand staff. I cam also improv by ear and sight. I am central valey born and raised, studied at Fresno City and Fresno State. I also took private lessons from some of the best drummers in the valley. I am looking for groups/bands that are proffessional, work hard and gigg alot. Even though I could only check 3 under my genre list, I am able and capable of playing ANY style, meter, genre or dynamic. My experience includes hundreds if not a thousand gigs under contracted musician, fill-in, studio work, and touring including european tours. I am a person that works well under a proffessional, hard working, motivated enviornment. I work and practice very hard to be prepared as possible. I am also a team player, and I work well with virtually anyone.My greatest attribute is my humbleness and willingness to constantly improve and evolve.
