Gigs are nice and I would like to play in the area. Not a big fan of “trying to make it” groups. I am dedicated to my career and music. Would dig to hook up with some solid players and make some big noise. I am a very solid drummer and not big into being flashy I consider my self a mix between Charlie Watts, Bonzo, Kenny Arnoff and Britt Turner. In other words...I'm a pocket player. If you are looking for a massive drummer with flash...I'm not your man. I love and live in the pocket.
My current influences are BlackBerry Smoke, JJ Grey & MoFro, DN and the Nightsweats, most southern rock, all classic rock, funk, blues, and old skool Rock-N-Roll.
I love to play covers but I want to add in my own feel. If you can dig that...then I am worth a listen. Very open to starting a new band as well. Reach me altonjd 2 at dot com.
