ABOUT

Drummer looking for musicians who are serious about making guitar-driven hard rock music, playing gigs, making some money and having fun! Writing and recording original music would be a HUGE plus!

I'm down for anything from 3-chord hard rock (AC/DC, old Def Leppard), to classic Metal (Judas Priest, Metallica), to female-fronted symphonic hard rock/Metal (Evanescence, Within Temptation, Beyond The Black). I'm also good to go with some Christian Rock.

I have been a drummer and backing vocalist in four performing hard rock bands (Lethal Injection, Dic's Hat Band, Dizzy Water, Bo Black), and a lead singer in two heavier performing bands (UGLYSTICK, DOWNCOUNT). I co-wrote; produced; demoed drums; and performed the lead and harmony vocals on a Metal album with DOWNCOUNT, called "Soundtrack of the Revolution," but I GREATLY prefer to be a drummer who can contribute harmony vocals--and maybe sing lead (while drumming) on a couple of tunes, just for fun.

A 100% pro-freedom Voluntaryist.

Laid-back, drug-free and drama-free. It's all about the music.

Contact me 843*260*1896.
