Who I am: I’m 36 years old and have been playing for 20 years. I live on the far west side of St. Charles with my family. I’m dedicated, a quick learner and enjoy playing, so I don’t just sit there staring at my kit.
What I want: First and foremost, I’m looking for musicians I can get along with, on and off the stage. I’m at the point where I want to have fun playing covers and possibly doing some originals.. I think the suburbs aren’t really the place for original acts and it seems to me that covers fit better. That being said, I want to be in a fantastic cover band with great musicians who are energetic on stage and are willing to actually entertain the crowd. I want to play well known party songs people can get into, unfortunately that negates some of the stuff I listen to. Looking to practice once a week and gig once every month or two.
What I listen to: Nickelback, Foo, Goo, Third Eye, 3 Doors, Vertical Horizon, BoDeans, Dream Theater, 80’s Metal (not often, but I still like it), Classic Rock, Green Day, Everclear, Disturbed, Mellencamp and VH.
Where to find me: 630-201-3429 or medrummin at gmail dot com
Music Style(s): Hard Rock, Rock
I have been under the influence of many drummers such as (in no particular order), John & Jason Bonham, Robert Sweet, Mike Portnoy, Mike Malinin, Lars Ulrich, Brad Hargreaves, Bobby Blotzer, Taylor Hawkins, Kenny Aronoff, and Mick Fleetwood – some of which I don’t attempt to emulate.
