SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I have been playing drums since about '02 very seriously. I've taken lessons for years, and feel I have the chops/time/musicianship to pretty much take on most types of gigs. I am ready and willing to play any type of music in front of anyone. I found myself wanting more out of music, and decided to start studying jazz this past summer, and am now a jazz performance major at the University of Lousiville, and study under (among others) Jason Tiemann, Ansyn Banks, Dr. Fred Speck.

Influences
Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, Ari Hoenig, Max Roach, PHILLY JOE JONES, Dave Lombardo, BRANN DAILOR, Chris Pennie. This is a short list of drummers, but I also listen to classical music. I love Shastakovich, Bach, James Brown (not classical, I know), Kool and the Gang, Hermeto Pascal, Miles Davis, KMFDM, the Daewoo Lanos and anything that is good. That is not to say that I won't play a rock gig; I love a lot of rock music, and know the format inside and out.
EQUIPMENT
I recently bought the entire drum stock of Doo Wop shop after they had a fire last September. It is seriously around 30 drum sets.
I have too much to list, but I know how to make my drums sound good.
