SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
I was an educated drummer through all public school music programs. I graduated HS in 1996 with the state champion marching band that dominated for years to follow. I was in jazz (set), concert (snare), & marching bands (bass, quads). As well as drummed for the pep band (set), percussion ensemble (quads), show choirs (set) and the musical (set). I got heavy into marching drumlines and drum corps but chose to go to university for computers instead of music. I have long since left my drumline performance and education days behind me.
I bought a kit with my house in Lone Tree in 2005. I was in a prog/hard rock band for a few years before it stagnated and I left around 2012.
I have a career, family, and pursuing some higher learning that will take a few years to complete. So I'm not available for much more than a bi-weekly jam in my neck of the woods. I could bring a 4 piece somewhere in the south metro Denver area, but would prefer to host.
