SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.

ABOUT

Seeking to join or form a very good band: I have been a professional drummer for 50 years, and have played and recorded with some well known bands and producers in L.A. I have also played and recorded with some local bands in WA State. When I lived in the Midwest, I was the drummer for a rock/fusion trio named Enoch Smoky, which was inducted into the Iowa R&R Hall of Fame in 2008. I have also recorded and published some of my own songs, which I don't mind sharing with the right band. With me, the "groove" is paramount. I am seeking like-minded professionals who value accuracy, professionalism, and who share my dedication to creating great music and enjoyment. Egos and emotions are to be avoided--at least off-stage.

Influences

Some of my musical influences are The Beatles, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Journey, Sade, Fleetwood-Mac, The Eagles, Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, Miles Davis, U2, and The Foo Fighters. Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, and Rimski-Korsakov's Scheherazade also knock me out. I also love the Motown era music.

EQUIPMENT

I own a Mapex kit with two rack toms, (13" and 14"), two floor toms, (16 " and 18"), with a 22" kick. I also use a DW-4000 double bass pedal, and can apply it well, when the music calls for it. I also have a variety of small percussion instruments, and Marine Band harmonicas. I also have reliable transportation. E-mail:[email protected]
