I've enjoyed playing for over 40 yrs now..Received instruction from Dave Bedell, Springfield MO my Mentor & Good Friend(RIP)at the age of 6yrs. till 18yrs. old...Too many influences to mention. Started playing for money at the age of 10 yrs old...many groups, many clubs, but the enjoyment, and the many people & personalities is not replaceable...I may be in my fifties, but that doesn't slow me down... No drugs, occasional drink, enjoys club work, meeting people, and playing!!

Influences:

Dave Bedell(Mentor), Gene Krupa, Louie Bellison, The great Buddy Rich, Ringo Starr, Dick Richardson Carmine Appice, Mr. John Bonham, Tommy Aldridge, Kenny Arnoff, The Professor Neil Peart,Joe Morello, Donny Brewer..Too many to mention Over 40 yrs. All the drummers that I visit with when I go out to check out clubs...I learn from them, just like they learn from me. Music wise...everything over the last fifty years...all styles, Big band to jazz to country to rock...it all needs drummers, Not drum machines.

Equipment List:

Tama Star Classics, Tama Superstars, Rogers Holiday, Yamaha Hipgig,Zildjian/Sabian cymbals used, portable mixer , mics, and the various hardward for the sets.
