SEEKING
Band to Join, Other Percussion.ABOUT
I've been playing music since 1966. I started on Clarinet and changed to Drums. As a high school band member, I had the opportunity to play as a studio musician (rhythm percussionist) with the Isaac Hayes Review. I also played for 2 years with the USAFE (United States Air Force in Europe) Show Band and played before the Queen of England. I've played locally with Session (Top 40, R&B) and Proceed With Caution (Top 40, Blues). I can play Drum Set and/or Rhythm Percussion (Congas, Bongos, and all the extras). Love To Play and Very Energetic. Blessed In Music Ability, Fred!
