27 years playing experience with drums and percussion.
Affluent in many playing styles ranging from rock/pop to jazz and blues.
Very comfortable improvising on the fly.
Have done numerous recordings and very comfortable in a studio.

Lastly, the TEST ONLY song on my playlist is me tweaking the first recording I made in my home studio using Cubase4. It's just me messing around, no rhyme or reason. It's also NOT meant to be an accurate representation of my playing. So, rather than being anal and trying edit all the stuff and make a "perfect" drum solo, I chose to just post it.... mistakes and all. The ONLY editing I did besides eq-ing, compression, and level settings was deleting all the unecessary wave forms to clean up the tracks for a tighter and cleaner sound to the kit. My goal was to get the drums to sound on "tape" as they do when I hold my ear close to the head. I didn't want a heavily doctored sound but rather natural and punchy.
