My styles are 70's - 80's Rock, from a technical drumming standpoint. Hard driving, providing percussion that leads the music. Good technical syncopation. Have played everything. Great sounding, technical drummer.

I live in Marshalltown. Time & travel is no problem. Have a reliable vehicles, can leave a practice set in place if appropriate. Or in my truck where it usually is.

Our kids have moved on, time for Dad to have fun again, but I appreciate & support the family scene, & guys who think that way.

I don't drink, drug, smoke. But to each his own, as long as we don't get stupid.

Available immediately, no commitments. Game for anything from local block parties to large shows. Weekends, Bars, Dances, Fairs, whatever. I just want to play. Shoot me a dozen songs/artists & I can come to an audition. I'm open.
