My name is Richard and I have played drums for about 15 years now. I have been a studio session drummer, touring drummer and percussionist in some cases. I moving to Nashville in January 2015 and until recently I had been playing with a well-known local act. In 2012, 2013 and 2014, we performed an average of 300 shows per year. However, due to a different general direction in the band, I've decided not to continue with them. Which means, I would love to take on new, serious projects. Other than musical talent to the table, I bring the willingness to help in booking shows around the area. I might not know Nashville yet, but I tend to make friends quickly.
Projects I'm hoping to take on:
Modern Rock pushing to Country (3 doors down to, Old Crow Medicine Show, FLG)
Alternative - KOL
R&B and
Musical Background:
I have toured Latin America and the US a few times. I'm happier on the road.
I've shared stages with Internationals acts ranging from Juanes, Shakira, Paramore, 3 Doors Down to Kiss.
As a drummer, diversity is Key and I believe I tend to be fairly diverse.
