ABOUT

Formerly-experience drummer looking to get back into it after having been out for a while, so I'm looking to jam on a regular basis with some great players who have experience. This is mainly for fun and the love of music, but also to help me push me to be the best it can be and knock some of this rust off me so I can get back to the top of my game and playing like I use to play when I was pretty great....at a time far too long ago. We can jam and see how we gel then go from there. I'm really into improvisational jams and just playing off each other as if in a give & take conversation, but I do like organized jams and playing great songs as well.

Influences

Every drummer I've ever heard! I am not locked into any particular style. I love all music. Although, I am partial to jazz, funk, fusion, rock, southern rock, metal, progressive, blues, old school R&B, punk, experimental, vocal. Some of my favorite drummers are: John Henry Bonham, Bill Ward, Bill Bruford, Nick Mason, Tim Alexander, Neil Peart, Gavin Harrison, Art Blakey, Harvey Mason, Ringo, Ginger Baker, Will Calhoun, Mark Guiliana, Stanton Moore, George Hurley, Clyde Stubblefield, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Martin, Mike Mangini, Vinnie Colaiuta, and many others.
