ABOUT
I have a family and day job these days, but also still love playing drums. I'm a team player and enjoy providing the band a good pocket, but also have the ability to do more complicated and creative fills and rhythms if and when required. My first priority is the groove, though. My perfect situation is to play locally and/or regionally 2 or 3 gigs a month with weekly rehearsals.
