Band to Join.ABOUT
Professional Drummer/Percussionist. Been playing professionally since 1999. Bachelors and Masters degrees in music performance. Played many different types of music, including rock, jazz, blues, gospel, funk, ska, musicals, classical, country, alternative, big band, and more.
Moved to the Dayton area a few years ago. Looking for a group who wants to practice once a week and start gigging as soon as possible. Open to almost any scene, any type of music, as long as you have some expereince. I bring a good musical sense and the drive to perform well.
