I've been recently added as the drummer to the reincarnation of FAST Suzi. I'm really looking forward to some fun with Mickey, Matt, and Matt.

Now that the band's been appropriately plugged - here's the dirt on me:

I've played for 26 years and still try to practice everyday. I have professional gear and transport. I also have a family, a professional career with a fairly predictable schedule so I've gotten back into recreational gigging. I have been professionally trained via lessons for many years, and can read music. More importantly, I'm told I have good meter. Since I haven't played with a band in some time, I tend to practice with a metronome at least twice a week 'cause no one is perfect.

I'm told I have an immense music library as I've been collecting for many years. I'm very confident I could easily nail down anything in a few minutes.

Let me be clear - I'm very committed to doing this for fun.

**UPDATE**
Looking for a bass player for a hard rock band. Must be at least in your thirties, no younger. Hard rock and some 80's metal, along with some originals. We practice twice a week and are looking to gig only a couple of times a month. Only those individuals with lives besides their bass guitar are invited. Please have good gear and love 70's and 80's hard rock. No poser metal, no nu-metal, but no Doors, Doobies type classic rock. Think Humble Pie, Aerosmith, Bad Company with some Whitesnake too. We rehearse in Lombard. Email for more info. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!!!

Influences:

ABC - Anything But Country

Primarily 70s 80s and 90s rock with strong influences from Queen, Rush, Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Dream Theater, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Meat Loaf, Iron Maiden, Journey, The Tubes, you get the idea.....

Equipment List:

7-piece Pearl BRX Black Sparkle with massive support from Zildjian, Tama Iron Cobra, Remo, Pro-Mark, Gibraltar, and Roland. This is the kit I practice on. This is the Steinway configuration that doesn't leave the house until we get that get at Wembley...

Gigging kit is a 6-piece Pearl BRX in Midnight Fade - no rack, just a few stands with the necessary fixin's

I collect (and make) snare drums - for you snare whores out there, here's the current arsenal: 2003 Masterworks 12x5.5 2004 Ultracast 14x6.5 2005 Virgil Donati and Eric Singer Signatures 2004 Sensitone Brass 13x5.5 2005 MMX 14x5.5 Diamond Burst (black hardware) 2006 MRX 14x6.5 Silver Sparkle (satin hardware) 2005 BRX 14x6.5 Black Sparkle

And there's a special one brewing at the Pearl manufacturing plant: 14x8 Masterworks Free Floating Comet Sparkle Black Hardware ;)
