Drummer/backup vocalist seeks band or bass & guitar to play gigs. I've played mostly Rock and some metal on drums (as seen by my uploaded videos) but now looking to play Funk & old school R&B/Disco. I'm more familiar with these genres on bass but want to play more of this music that I grew up with on drums. I basically want to have a party every time I play with my band!
I like doing covers (see below) and originals.
I consider myself an intermediate drummer(started playing in 2014) and have played in about 5 bands. I've been playing bass for about 20 years so I'm used to locking in to the drums and am a fast learner.
In case it matters, I don't drink or smoke. I'm an easy going, friendly, punctual, and prepared musician. If interested feel free to contact me at electricsnail29 and put "Bandmix" in subject line; email ends with duck dot com.
These are songs I'm mostly interested in covering but I am open to suggestions and originals:
-Teena Marie: Square biz
-Jamiroquai: Where do we go from here, Traveling without moving, Use the force(live at Montreux), Canned Heat, Planet home.
