ABOUT

Currently working with my daughter on a project called Paige Marie. We started this in 2023, and sharing music together has been very rewarding. With 3 of the members being college students, I am limiting availability to 15-18 shows a year. 12 of which are already booked in Salem and Boardman for 2024.

Since I have more time, I would maybe be interested in joining a working band centered on hard rock or contemporary Christian music. I would just need some flexibility in order to allow me to continue my PM project.

Influences

I am most certainly influenced by the flamboyant drummers of the late 80's. Tommy Lee, Robert Sweet, Rikki Rockett to name a few. Of course Neal Peart being a god to me.. but preferring some show with my drumming. I believe that a gig is a "performance" and treat it as such with showmanship while not compromising meter or continuity. Facial expressions, a couple stick flips or twirls and otherwise just my whole body moving to what I am jamming.

I was formally trained from 5th grade through HS and also private lessons. I played in Concert, Marching and Jazz band. I have recorded one full length original modern rock cd and also recorded a swing song on a charity cd.

EQUIPMENT

Primary kit is a 2021 Pearl Export in Smokey Chrome. Sort of the kit that I have waited my whole life to buy. A 10pc kit, it allows me to configure for any size project or venue. My road kit had primarily been 1990 Tama Rockstar double kick with 4 rack toms. When I bought it I put black bottom heads on it and it looked like Lars's kit from Metallica circa 1990. Mostly all Zildjian cymbals (also tattooed to my shoulder). Lastly, a red 5pc Pearl kit that is used primary for practice if offsite at someone else's house. Oh, and I have a 5x10 enclosed trailer for hauling around drums and PA.. I prefer to rent PA if the gig can afford it, but I did just invest in a digital mixer and new amps so I can just roll one small road case into the venue and mix from my Ipad.
