SEEKING

ABOUT

As a drummer, I strive to learn from and integrate the widest musical variety of inspiration, song-writing, recording/production, and performance from disparate genres and cultures.
I want to play both live drums AND machine-beats with a band.

In practice...
Love to mix elements of metal, dance, jazz, sludge, progressive, ambient, etc. Let's mix the crowds and crash both side of the party.

Presently / specifically:
Looking to mix feel-good electronic spices (loops, synthes, etc) into traditionally aggressive forms (punk, hardcore, doom) and vice-versa.

Give me a reason to combine drum-machines/sampler/electronics with my drum set !
