ABOUT

I've been playing 90% of my life and loved every minute I've played. I do most genres and styles. Personal favorites are alternative, classic rock and blues, but can play cajon, country and reggae as well...
I love it all! I have toured with several bands over the years, lived on a bus and in hotels throughout many of those years and loved it! Played house gigs when the economy was much better,, WISH that was more of an option now. I have played full-time in the Quarter and subbed for several years there as well. I recently played with a well established cover band from Mandeville that relied heavily on sequencing and click track. I would love to find a group of seasoned musicians that can call a song off and we all jump in and play like we've been playing together forever and that don't have that "I'm a Rockstar attitude ,'' I am a good solid drummer, good meter, very adverse in style and a team player . I play whatever the situation calls for and do back up vocals usually harmonies high and mid ranged. I have cd's with bands I've worked with in the past and one with an original band from several years ago. I have some studio experience and can read music should a situation call for it. I play an african jambe and several small percussion instruments for acoustic situations for more quaint gigs..... Thank You for Looking!!
