ABOUT

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been a musician/drummer/percussionist for a long time. I've played most styles at one time or another.
I'm looking for talented and skilled musicians, original or otherwise, to challenge me.
*UPDATE* (April 2023)
I'm looking for a guitar badass and vocal badass to front a band I call "Heavy Francis", with a penchant for crunchy hard rock, punk, 90s style guitar rock, with some originals coming (hopefully) but covers for now.
Guitarist should have singing ability too.
Ideally I'd think it cool to have a male AND a female singer so that our repertoire could be more diverse.
Examples that I want to cover-Bush. STP. The Cult. Ramones. Clash. Sex Pistols. Tracy Bonham. Joan Jett. But it doesn't stop there.
I'm a veteran of the music scene. Chances are you've heard some of my bands over the years on the radio.
*END OF UPDATE*
As of late, I'd also really dig some surf/rockabilly, or some cool funky jazz fusion, or even some tasty, funky Celtic rock/punk.
Anything tasty is right up my alley.
I'd like to play shows with like-minded musicians. I'm also very good in the studio, and can back up folks wishing to record their efforts.
Really, I'm very game for some tasty stuff that will inspire me. Bring it on.

EQUIPMENT

I have pro gear. Several professional drum kit setups.
I have a great music room complete with guitars, amps, basses, and drums. Vocal mics and PA as well.
Guitars include a 25th anniversary Squier Strat (I call my "Dick Dale" model cuz he signed it), Danelectro Shorthorn, and Mosrite Ventures II. Guitar amp is a Marshall JCM2000 (100 watts) with 1960B 4x12 cab.
Basses include a Fender Aerodyne Jazz 4 string, Fender Kingman acoustic/electric 4 string. Also have 2 mandolins, acoustics, and my bass amp is a 15" sub cab with a Marshall Origin50 head.
