ABOUT

Lifelong drummer. Self-taught. Love to serve the song but make it interesting and driving, as well. Member of Beatnik Turtle since 2002 (thesongoftheday, beatnikturtle, ://beatnikturtle.rpmchallenge/, and Wikipedia).

I'm just looking to find a couple of other musicians to form (ideally) a trio consisting of guitar, bass, and drums. Or piano, bass and drums. Goal is to get something going to have some fun and hopefully make a few bucks playing out once or twice a month. Not trying to "make it", but would love to put together a fun, tight little band that doesn't sound like every other bar band. Covers are great, but don't let "trying to sound just like the record" get in the way of making it good - and fun!
