ABOUT

Full Time Work Only Please -
I have no recent live band videos - explained below - so this link is to a phone video in a rehearsal studio, pardon the klinkers -
Please cut and paste the URL, I don't see any other way to upload it:

There is a format, believe it or not - as follows:

Flam tap warmup(mindless, give it a minute) -
Funk groove -
Waltz variations -
Line dance(based on Fast As You) -
Half time shuffle(based on Rosanna) -
Train -
Pedestrian(Waylon kinda) -
Whipping Post(sorta) -

Had to take about a 12 year break(with some intermittent shows) from the road to help my parents - ready to get back at it - Have stayed in practice consistently with lockouts, V-Drums(at home) throughout - I am now at a very good place to continue the career path -

50 years experience going back to the 70's, later highlights include:
Raymond Michael's "Tribute to Elvis" drummer 10 years+('96 to "06) - concerts all over, Knott's
"Kid and Nic Show"(variety)'06,
"Justin Grant" (country/rock)'07,
"Thomas Michael Band" (country/rock)'08, all primarily mid-west circuit - had to break there - then short stints in 2012 with
"II Amendment"(country/rock/variety), then
"2 Bit Shotgun"(country/variety), then had to break again here -

Available for established band – PREFER COUNTRY primarily, but will consider rock, tribute, blues, Motown, variety, original and cover -
Totally groove oriented, infectious stage attitude
Enthusiastic veteran show drummer used to playing concerts for thousands, bars, theaters, casinos, house gigs, by myself -

Great meter, sound, gear - can easily play w/click
Seeking pro act paying full time wage, with career perspective and sense of humor looking for a serious lift from a creative, stylized, solid veteran -
Good luck to you
