What's up fellow music makers, I'm an intermediate rock drummer hailing from South River, NJ currently looking for a bassist to check out the band I'm playing in and hopefully like what they hear. I may consider myself only an intermediate drummer but I'm the type that can pick up the sticks and play almost any genre and jam something that sounds good with almost any instrument I've come across, so you can say I'm at least a versatile drummer. I mainly play rock, classic rock, alternative and funk style rhythms but love to delve into jazz, progressive (love Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart and Bill Bruford), punk and hip hop too. Hell I'll play country if it sounds good. I'd love to find a bassist as soon as possible though and maybe even some other guitarists and fellow drummers to jam with!
