ABOUT

I am currently a music education/performance major at IPFW. I play with a local praise band, and have sat in a few nights with local bands, but am looking for something that can keep somewhat of a steady gig. I'm also looking to put something together along the lines of Jazz/Funk/Fusion oriented (i.e. the Dave Weckl Band, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Chick Corea, borderline smooth jazz, but with more pizzazz to it) Instrumentation I'm looking for would be saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor and bari experienced), accoustic/electric guitar, electric bass, keyboard/synthesizer, and then me on drums/percussion. For more info on what I'm looking for, search for Dave Weckl Band on or be videos, and that's roughly what inspires me and what I'd like to start up. I'm very laid back, but I like give and recieve constructive criticism. I try to be as openminded as I can in all situations, and I strive to make the band better by any means necesary.

EQUIPMENT

Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage drumkit: 22"x18" bass; 10"x9", 12"x10", 14"x12", 16"x16" toms; (2) 5.5"x14" snares. Yamaha hardware (no double bass pedal). Zildjian Cymbal; 14" Dyno Beat hi-hats, 20" A Custom Ping Ride, 10" K Custom Splash, 18" Avedis China. Sabian Cymbals; 16" AA Medium Thin Crash, 16" AA Thin Crash, 18" unlabeled Crash/Ride
I prefer my drums to be tuned to a cross of Dave Weckl style and Carter Beauford style... tuned for high pitch, but little resonance. Not muffled and wet, but not ringy and dry.
