About

I have been playing the drums since childhood and I have 4 years experience playing as a profession. I work full time right now and I am very dedicated to my job. I am however, still very passionate about music. I do not want to join a band that is going to, and only going to practice. Practice is important, but supporting my hobby, getting paid, is a much needed perk. I have a wide variety of musical influences. I will not be involved in metal, thrash, hardcore, or strictly counrty music. It is just not my style; props to those musicians though. I have an ecclectic drumming style as a result of the range of music that I listen to. I have always been the only chick in the band(five bands in the past 7 years); so, boys don't be too intimidated. I do not want to be a cover band and a cover band only. Original music is the reason to play. Covering is a second income. I am willing to put this band before my current place of employment, but in no way will I do that if i don't feel that it is logical. Plus, I love my job. By the way, I do rotate shifts bi-weekly. 6:30am-4:00pm and 4:30pm-2:00am. Scheduling will be a task. I will only be available for shows when I am on first shift(6:30am-4:00pm). I do have my own means of transporting my equipment(Pearl Fusion- 5 piece- Standard kit, hard-cased). I also have quite a few contacts in and around Birmingham, St. Clair Co., and Gadsden, AL from prior business.
