Solid rhythm. One of the most consistent drummers you'll ever work with.

Not a big fan of solos & diddly bops.

I provide a good solid beat & keep people dancing & calling for more.

SIMPLY THIS: Any band sounds better when I play the drums.

Looking for other PROFESSIONAL WORKING musicians who make good music & enjoy what they're doing.

I can step right into the groove and work without a lot of rehearsing time.

I don't "just play the drums." I understand mixing, sound & live production. My drums provide the Pulse that makes the music come Alive (vs just noise).

No screamers, no haters, no whiners, no jazz, no ego-trips or stressing.
