ABOUT

6/2022 Update:
I had knee surgery in 2018 so I took a much needed break from drumming. Made excuse after excuse of not playing. The end of 2021 I built a soundproof room in garage to play again. Finally current been workin on my chops improving my skills etc.
Then I started my own business in remodeling and now find it difficult to make time to practice or play but manage to squeeze in a session workout a week.
So now my chops are still on par and and still searching for a band.
Note:
I prefer originals developing new music or learning someone else’s (replacement drummer) and doing covers as fun or if by chance joining a band a couple songs as crowd pleasers but not as a main focus of the band.
So with all that explained read on….

Looking to join a band that needs a good solid drummer. Blues rock funk rock/jazz metal I play many styles of music.
Ive been playin over 30 yrs, with 11 different bands.
I have studio experience and yes i can play along with a click track. Although i have a large kit i can minimize and play on a smaller scale kit.
I've worked in a studio environment for some time in the 80's, as a studio drummer. I've played on and helped produce 3 cds with bands I was with. One live CD, one studio with "3n1" (Christian Rock. Two songs got radio airplay for 8 months on Lightforce Radio. One studio CD with band "Jane Doe Project" (Blues Rock) and got #1 blues hit on garageband for 14 months. and with a Houston Band called Stone Pusher in 2012-2014.
I am very serious but know when to cut loose and have fun. NOT a showboat drummer my purpose is to back whatever band I play with, whether beginning or pro I can get the job done and come with experience.
