ABOUT
I am looking either for gigging, recording, or street-performing musicians. In all honesty, I just want to play music in an atmosphere that's "more than a hobby," as it has sadly been for quite some time. If you're interested in progressing your style or have ANY questions what-so-ever on my abilities or our possible playing situations, please contact me at roberts6341 or find me on as Phillip Roberts from Sault Sainte Marie, MI 49783

EQUIPMENT
Tama Swingstar 5-piece (Circa 2000) + Pulse 18" Floortom, Tama Swingstar "2-Tom Expansion + Stand," Tama Iron Cobra (dual-chain) double bass pedals, Zildjian 16" Z Series Crash, Sabian 10" Crash, Zildjian 16" Earth Ride, Sabian 18" Crashride, Zildjian 8" Splash, Wuhan 8" Splash... And quite a few more cymbals.
Also a hand-carved deep-toned sweet-highs djembe (goat skin, non-stretch multi-stranded treated nylon roped)
Fretless 4-string bass and a Kustom 15w 10" bass amp
Fender 15w 8.5" guitar amp
BUT!! The best point I can make on equipment ownership is a practice pad in my garage, heated, with playable times of early morning until 10am (later if requested) daily.
