SEEKING

ABOUT

Right now I'm mainly looking for a working (doesn't have to be covers) band to play for. I play percussion of all kinds but drum set is my main focus. I am traditionally a rock drummer but can play most styles. Just no metal, really. I play latin, swing, jazz, funk, reggae, classical, blues, fusion, progressive, dixieland, minimalist, modern, alternative, folk, country, indie. I like to play tight in the pocket and I can also come up with some pretty creative stuff. When doing covers I usually like to stick pretty close to the recording unless there are arrangements. I have a lot of percussion equipment as well. I can also sing backups if needed. I am currently going to school for a degree in music education. You can contact me through email corralesemilio1(at)yah or through .

Influences

As far as musical influences go, I like and respect a lot of different genres and bands from every era. Since this page is geared towards looking for a cover band I will say I gravitate towards funk, blues, classic rock, jazz, pop, and modern rock.
Drummer influences range widely from elvin jones to david garibaldi to jon theodore to sam fogarino to mark guiliana to stubblefield to even some ringo.
