ABOUT

**EXPERIENCED DRUMMER FOR HIRE!**

Thanks for checking out my profile!
I'm a drummer with more than 25 years experience in live performances, touring, and as a studio musician. Before moving to Minnesota in 2017, I played for some successful bands in the D.C. circuit. I play a variety of genres: rock, heavy metal, progressive, pop, and Latin music. I'm looking to join an established band or start a new one with committed professional musicians for either live performances, recording sessions and/or touring. I'm mostly interested in bands that play original music, but would consider cover/tribute bands with gigs and professional stage projections and performances.

I've included some samples of my drumming, which I hope you like. I'd love the opportunity to be part of your band!
