ABOUT

I’m looking for a group who is established and in need of a professional, experienced drummer for their band. I’ve been in a successful, Boston band called Car Crash Show for the last 5 years and have shared bills with indie acts Clinic, The Arcade Fire and Of Montreal. We we’re experimental and used live sampling, and a lot of analogue synths to create a progressive, indie sound. We were close to finishing the recording of our latest LP, but due to a lack of commitment decided to break up.
As a result, I’m moving back to Phoenix where I have some experience in the music scene. Before moving to Boston I was part of Jelly(hard rock/pop) a local Phoenix band that did well and ended up playing 2 shows with Thin Lizzy as a highlight.
Personally, I have been writing and recording in original bands since I was 17 and I have been playing drums since I was a 12. I’m an aggressive, hard hitting drummer with timing and feel but I’ve have learned to excel at playing delicate patterns while utilizing click tracks and can bring out the edge and vibe of certain songs by playing drum machine/hip hop flavored beats as well. I’m a versatile, dynamic player and I’m confident that I can bring a lot of positives to a dedicated, touring ready band. Most importantly, I’m loyal and dedicated to my band mates and I’m willing to work hard everyday to achieve success.
