ABOUT

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Drummer looking for advanced, experienced musicians/group versed in many styles. Players with strong time, dynamics, versatility, musical communication, swing, command of rhythm and harmony, and excellent listening skills. Especially guitar, bass, keys.

Fun and low-stress. Involvement could be anything from occasional but high-level music sessions to playing out if there are worthwhile gigs. Improv, covers, originals, dynamics, swinging, syncopated and reactive.

I've been fortunate to play drums for most of my life, and to have performed in the places that I love in a multitude of band styles/formats including: jazz-funk, trio, big band, rock, dance-floor-funk, top 40, reggae/dub, latin-jazz, folk/bluegrass, soul/60s-70s, children's music, blues, experimental, jam, progressive rock, punk, weddings bands, lounge music, venues, festivals.
