Looking to work with established band(s). locations doesn't matter if the work is established and consistent
I got my start as a drummer over 20 years ago as a snare drummer in two (2) Drum & Bugle Corps. In the corps is where I got my foundation in rudimental application and techniques. I studied under champion instructors. After the corps I was hired as a drummer by Grammy nominated producer/song writer Ed “Lets Get It On” Townsend. After which I was hired as the touring drummer for Little Milton. After a few years touring with Little Milton, I was hired as the touring drummer for Albert King. The years spent with these artists taught me a form of playing music you can only learn through time spent playing for old school artist that believe in perfection and that they have to always be better than the next band. It’s that same work ethic that you hear about James Brown. During this time and after I have played for or played along with while on the same stage with artist such as Jack Bruce, Bonnie Raitt, Back up band for Dee Dee Warwick, played many times with Steve Ray Vaughn, and many many more. I have played mostly all of the major festival in the USA, Germany, France, ect…
After my touring days I started a successful music education and production school for kids. During this time I also studied extensively with established artist and instructors world drums and percussion. Congas is my current instrument of choice followed by drum set and auxiliary percussion.
