Hello! I am an experienced drummer currently working in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Over the past decade, I have logged nearly one thousand live and studio gigs, working with many of the major blues, R&B, jazz and rock (classic/southern) players in the region. I have worked many of the local festivals, weddings and other private events, and local venues from Crystal River to Marco Island on the West Coast.
But I am always seeking more gigs and different experiences, as I am open to extended international or national touring in addition to local and regional work and studio opportunities. I can read charts and sing backup/harmonies when needed. I also have a background in music theory and composition, and have some working knowledge in the following instruments: all percussion including orchestral and keyboard, piano, guitar, bass.
Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon!
