ABOUT

I am looking for work with a band or project that is in need of a professional drummer. This means any style of music. I will take on any project that is worth my time. I have the means to travel anywhere work is available. I am also willing to relocate if the project or band is strong enough. I am 100% Reliable and I GET THE JOB DONE in usually the 1st or 2nd take when recording. I am looking for musicians and or work that equal my level of expertise. I am not looking for beginners work. I have been doing session work and touring for the past 10 years. I have played with and opened for bands and artists such as "Sik Dik" which performed and sold out multiple Atlanta venues, including The Masquerade, and The Point.
Included guitarist "Robin Finck"–currently playing with Guns N’ Roses, formerly with Nine Inch Nails. Played with Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister), Twiggy Ramirez (Marilyn Manson), and again with Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) for MTV and a sold-out concert at The Rock Ridge Saloon in New York City, NY.The Goodies which Opened for acts such as The Foo Fighters, Marvelous 3, Jackyl, Missing Persons, Otis Day and the Nights, Col. Bruce Hampton, and The Bay City Rollers. I can send my resume or MP3's of some of my work if requested.
To view some more of my past work experience as a drummer visit .thegoodiesonline or "The Goodies" at .. Both sites have pictures, music, bio, live videos, etc... References available upon request.

I recently cut the drumtracks to Patrick Kelly's new album which is soon to be made available as well as Andy Lehman's solo album, and William Gibbs solo album both to be available in 2006. I am currently wraping up a soundtrack for "The Wrath" a film to debut in 2006. -.vtfilms-"THE WRATH" I am constantly writing and recording for myself as well as for independent films and always pushing my drumming skills for every recording project I am involved with.
