Paul Gerard / 843-360-8905
Experienced drummer with vocal chops is available for FILL-IN work. I have played in many band, orchestra, trio, and even duet configurations covering just about every genre of music. I have performed in countless Live Music Venues and in many Studio Settings in seven different states and in the Washington D.C. area. My major influences continue to be groups like the Beatles, Rush, CCR, and all Classic Rock. I also enjoy playing Southern Rock, Blues, Oldies, and Country. Additionally, I have played and performed Contemporary and Swing Jazz. I am dependable, hardworking, have good reliable transportation, and all of the "gig ready" equipment that I will ever need (see my list below). I have sung lead on over 75 songs while playing the drums. This list is available upon request. I am interested in ONLY PROFESSIONAL GROUPS. No drugs. No booze. No egos. No drama. Just Music. I "DO MY HOMEWORK" and prepare for a rehearsal the same way that I prepare for a gig. I fully understand and play with "DYNAMICS". I am "NOT a BASHER". Overall sound level and feel are a must to produce a good listening experience. So, feel free to call me if you need a Solid and Reliable Drummer. 843-360-8905.
The AUDIO FILES listed are just a small sample of my LEAD VOCALS. I have also sung harmonies & other back-up vocals.
