Drummermandan26 + Musician in Orlando, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

My name is Dan. I'm 31 years old, started playing drums since I was 6. I am a drummer with a good amount of professional experience. Started with a great band in Pittsburgh but had to leave to fulfill my military contract. I've jammed with a couple bands here in Orlando. I'm looking to join/create a band. Hard Rock/funk/metal. I need some solid musicians with quality gear and good chops. Age isn't really a factor, just as long as you can play. I'd love to make it big, but I just love playing music so whatever happens, happens. My short term goal is to get a band together make a record and play local, than move around Florida. Long term is get endorsements for the band and really start hitting the road.
Don't mind if you drink, smoke(either), but no hardcore sh*t and no addicts.

I use DW Collectors Series Drums 1 up 2 down, Zildjian Cymbals A Custom Rezo, Z Custom, K Custom/Hybrid, EFX. Currently using Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Double Pedals, PDP Hardware, Evans Drumheads, Audix Mics, plan on throwing some electronic trigger bars for some effects. Also plan on building a custom low stealth rack in the near future for a smaller footprint.

Practice rig is the same with the exception of using Mapex Orion(Pro-M) kit.
