Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.

ABOUT

Experienced pro drummer, with studio and touring experience. Home-based Pro Tools. Looking for more gigs to fill my schedule. I know a ton of tunes and have played many gigs 'cold' (no rehearsal). Played weddings (I own a tux), straight-ahead jazz in Istanbul, Turkey, toured the Northeast playing Zappa covers with Project/Object. I'm also able to add drums to your existing recording using my Pro Tools-based rig at home.

I was only allowed to select 3 genres of music for my profile, which is pretty stupid....I play more than 3.

You can reach me at (my first name) jimruffi dot you-know-what.
