Monster Drummer + Musician in Canonsburg, PA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a solid drummer with a great deal of experience.

My "main pic" is with my current gig drumming for the "uber" talented Steve Smith and The Steve Smith Band. (Today's Country)

I can play with a click live or in studio. Know how to groove & stay in pocket, as a result I have always worked when I wanted to. I understand "less is more" especially when playing Country.

I have played with very good musicians, (really better than I deserved)...
Have had lessons/coaching from Michael Derosier (Heart)
Ed Shaughnessey (The Tonight Show Band)
Danny Gottlieb (Pat Metheny Project)

Looking for studio or live gigs where I can compliment your project and enjoy the vibe:)
