SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
If you are looking for a fill in drummer / percussionist, I am your Guy!! I learn new music very fast and read sheet music / charts! I am familiar with all the popular Contemporary Christian and Texas Country Music. Call me at 832.814.6144 or e-mail to mark(at)4sanchez for booking information!
I have been playing drums & percussion professionally for over 30 years. My musical education includes being formally trained in rudimental drumming, drum set and Latin Percussion at San Jose State University. I have performed with the Santa Clara Vanguard and San Jose Raiders DCI drum corps. Professional experience includes Percussion Director at Watsonville High School, Watsonville, CA - 1987 to 1992. Drum Line clinician at various SF Bay Area High Schools. Current drummer for the Keith & The Palm Trees, a Galveston Original "Island" Band. I also "fill in" as a musical guest for vacationing drummers at a number of Houston Area Churches including Houston's First Baptist Church, Clear Creek Community Church, Gateway Community Church, First Baptist Church Friendswood, The Harbor, Revive Church and others playing contemporary christian music.
I have my own Latin percussion equipment, auxiliary percussion gear and three professional acoustic drum sets.
I am very comfortable and actually prefer a Click Track / Metronome / Stems at rehearsals and performances.
I am a serious, disciplined musician and strive to perfection each time I perform. I would be interested in discussing ideas to see if there is synergy to perform together.
