ABOUT

Im a semi pro drummer/singer who has been playing for quite a few years, more than I'd care to admit lol and surrounded myself with musicians. From being told by everyone over the years , my strongest trait is my vocals. Im have often carried the bands I've played in by their request due to my good stage presence and ability to "plug in" to the vibe if you follow me. Im a tenor with a great range and can sing gravelly like John Fogarty or mellow like Neal Young with great feeling and on pitch harmonies. I studied in ensemble format back in HS days many moons ago. Grew up listening to classical. I enjoy many types of music as long as it's fun and doesn't put me to sleep or make my ears bleed too much, when I was a youngster that was cool. At this moment I could only gig Friday nights or Saturday nights due to work. I need to play some as its been a few weeks since last played. Finesse and modulation are good qualities.

Influences

Geez where to begin. It's a melting pot of Frank Zappa and a plethera of other bands present and past from Jimi Hendrix, GD, southern rock, blues, improv jams, and for drummers Mitch Mitchell, Neal Peart, Ginger Baker, Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, a little like Keith Moon, with a mix of various others like Billy Cobham (don't quite have his chops though!)over the years I like to play with different styles of musicians and Im very versatile. Not a studio jazz musician but like to have fun with what I do and Im pretty good at emulating the styles or combining them. It "must" be fun foremost. Some of the photos are very old (80's) just posted for the fun of it. The green Ludwig pic is from 2006.

EQUIPMENT

New almost 2006 Ludwig Rockers 5 pc w/double kick pedal. Deep sound.

Past Events

My son is in the USMC and retunring from a seven month deplyment in Iraq. I'd really like to meet some musicians and do a gig as a welcome home for these guys for putting their butts on the line for us here in the USA.
