Szyx + Musician in Bay Village, OH

SEEKING

ABOUT

Predominantly a drummer; though I do practice other musical instruments, or try my hand at writing occasionally. I was the drummer for the local Cleveland band "48 Hours Strong" for about 6 years. You can search up some videos of us playing on be. I do not have any recent videos of me playing, but I will update this profile if I do. I have extensive knowledge of playing shows, booking, handling merchandise, and promoting. I don't have an oversized ego and I get along with pretty much everyone.

I prefer Alternative Rock/Electronic/Dance/Drum and Bass type music, but I am just as happy with Pop, Indie, or other genres. Not a fan of country, metal, screamo, hardcore, etc.
