After taking a break, I'd like to start playing again. Mostly classic/british rock. Will also play blues, acoustic folk, red dirt country and others. Looking to jam with like minded musicians, and possibly play out if everything jives... My drumming style has been described as "in-the-pocket" on the backbeat. The audio file provided is a sample of my drumming (that's not me on vocals) I've always been a big believer in "less is more." Just play what the song calls for. Simple Ringo style grooves. If the song requires some Keith Moon bashing (My Generation) I think I can still do that! Have also worked with/played drums for Peter Noone (Hermans Hermits) Please contact me ... 812-5006 or write ... robins33 at msn dot com Thanks!

Influences:

Beatles / Stones... and most of the 1960's British Invasion groups; some psychedelic music; also Stevie Wonder; Eric Clapton; Allman Brothers; Bob Dylan; Neil Young; Leon Russell and the Shelter People; Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, etc..

Rock /Country/ Soul/ Acoustic/ Folk

Equipment List:

Plenty of drums and cymbals--percussion and mic stands.
Even though I'm not a professional studio musician, in the true sense of the word, I've spent many hours under the headphones in a recording environment.
Have worked w/a click, but enjoy playing live.
