ABOUT

37 years experience as a drummer. Numerous studio sessions and touring experience. I have zero problems playing with a click track or any other time keeping method.

Most importantly, I find, along with other musicians that I have played with, that I don't have a need of a click track. My timing is squared away because of practicing with a metronome.

I believe in being a chameleon...no matter what genre I play, I blend in exactly the way the song needs me to. There isn't a style or genre out there that I haven't played at a very high level. Nothing is better than locking down a groove with the bass player and providing the platform for guitarists or other solo instruments to showcase their talents.

I am also very experienced with percussion and enjoy what it can bring to certain songs.

I bring a ton of experience to the table. Along with drumming skills, I'm advanced with all aspects of sound operations.
I have the computer equipment and software when couple with the right mixer, I can produce top notch recordings at live venues or in a studio setting.
