At the time that I am writing, I have drummed for over 20 years. Although I never pursued the professional musician route, I am formally trained (and even learned about keys and harmonies!) on the drum set. When I was much younger, I played the upright and electric bass for approximately four years and the four years before that I played (ok, I pretended I was playing) violin. I can cover styles ranging from big band (Sing, Sing, Sing anybody?) to surf rock (e.g., the Dick Dale). I enjoy listening to classical, jazz, rock, hip-hop, and all the various combinations.

Jazz: Tony Williams, Max Roach, Joe Morello, Buddy (basically, the usual suspects).
... I could include a number of great vocalists, guitarists, and bassists ... but who wants to read an endless list anyway?
