ABOUT
45 year old amateur drummer/acoustic guitarist. Easygoing attitude. Care more about the energy and enjoyment of the moment but wouldn't mind making money. I have been told I mesh well musically and have a unique style. I prefer drumming with bound nylon brushes I custom treat to get solid, complex sounds and playing style. I'M A LEFTY!
I do have one serious issue to explain. I have alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. My lungs are getting progressively worse, and I often require oxygen. If I pace myself, drumming is still one of my favorite activities, but I may need help moving my kit around. I hope this doesn't keep me from getting a chance to meet and audition with anyone considering my profile. I will soon be getting on a lung transplant list and hope to be back to normal stamina soon.
