Solid, high energy, in-the-pocket rock drummer looking to join or put together a fun, upbeat, versatile, rockin cover band. The type of cover band that could play anywhere, not just one or two specific types of venues. Looking for smart, mature players with a good look and similar musical interests that want to put on a great show and look like a rock band. But above all, great personalities and energy!

My ideal situation would be:

To cover a mix of 80’s - current bands. Would also like to put a new spin on some of the standard home run hits without being too cheesy. Songs people can dance or sing along to. In addition, I’d like to take some older classic rock, 80’s new wave or disco tunes and add a rock/metal edge to it. Not interested in covering STP, Pearl Jam or Staind type bands.

To give you an idea, here are some of the bands I would enjoy covering:

ACDC Billy IdoL Bon Jovi Boston Breaking Benjamin Brian Adams Buckcherry Damn Yankees Daughtry David Bowie David Cook Dead Or Alive Def Leppard Depeche Mode Disturbed Don Henley Dropbox Earth Wind & Fire Eddie Money Elton John Flock of Seagulls Foo Fighters Frankie Goes to Hollywood Guns N' Roses KC & The Sunshine Band Kool & The Gang Loverboy Midnight Oil Mötley Crüe Nickelback Night Ranger Oingo Boingo Pet Shop Boys Peter Gabriel Poison Prince Rick Springfield Rockwell Rough Silk Sammy Hagar Scandal Scorpions Simple Minds Sly Fox Stone Sour Sugarcult Talking Heads The Cult The Tubes Thompson Twins Van Halen.

If you’re looking for a fill-in drummer, I’d also be interested. This way you get to keep your gig and I get to keep the dust on my kit.

Don’t want to tour the world. I’ve got the day job, mortgage, and lawn to mow, so this would not be a full time, on the road gig. Just looking to find the right people to play good music, have a great time and make a little $$. Out-of-town shows on the weekends would be cool.

The 4 audio samples listed above are from an original project I played on in 2007.

Hope to hear from you soon.
