I am an aggressive drummer that enjoys dark heavy music in the tempo range of 85 - 110 BPM. I would love to find musicians who also know the power of the slower darker grooves and wants to work on original music. I am NOT a death metal double bass endurance jockey or speed demon. I use double bass more as a filler and a point maker, I believe a good dark crunch on guitars and a matching drum groove usually does more to move a song than blast beats and mindless double bass mashing. No offense intended for those that disagree. I write lyrics and have some melody ideas for some of them but I want to work with musicians that also have something to bring to the table. I love structuring songs and meshing out lyrics within a band setting. No idea is set in stone until the band carves it out. I am looking for guitarists that play low dark and heavy and know what a good "crunch" is. In vocals I'd like to find someone who can sing clean or heavy but is not a "GROWLER".

I do not use drugs nor do I smoke. I do drink on occasion but never while playing. If your extra curricular activities get in the way of yours or the rest of the bands playing and they can not be set aside while we play together, then this will probably not work out for you or myself. But as long as it does not affect the band what you do is what YOU do.

Influences:

I don't really have any specific influences. I practice to all types of music and try to find grooves from all genres that can be incorporated in my musical tastes.

Equipment List:

Mapex Meridian 5 pc drum set. Sabian Crashes, Tama pedals. A second "practice" drum set.
