About
Professional set player/teacher of all styles for thirty years. Have been hired for classic rock, jazz, blues, contempory christian venues as well as recording. I'm looking to join a band that appreciates my solid time-keeping and my respect to the demands of the music. I have performed with many talented musicans/vocalists from the Des Moines/Ames areas. Lounge/Commercial venues have helped to develope my skills not only with the styles mentioned but also world music. Although not a vocalist, I continue a life-long commitment to the mastering the art of drumming.I have a yahoo address at jimrwho@
