I’m a drummer who’s been playing since I was 11. I began playing in concert band, but I found my true love was playing drum set. I’ve learned to play a wide variety of music. My most comfort able style is straight up rock, but I can play metal, country, pop, R&B, and punk. I’ve studied Latin, jazz, Indian, and funk, but I’d be lying if I claimed to be able to play any of those styles comfortably. I’ve played in many different setting with a large variety of musicians, I’ve played in an experimental band acoustic band and I play regularly for my church. I’ve also recorded drums for several indy albums. Other experiences of mine include drumming for orchestras, swing bands, marching band, concert bands and various one time cover bands.
I’m basically a quiet guy who loves and respects music. I have a very open mind about playing different styles of music and I respect anyone who tries to play music. I understand music theory but I also play a lot by ear.
