ABOUT
Hello! My name is Don Anderson, a drummer formerly residing in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, now in Sedona, Arizona. I've been playing drums for 40 years and do some singing and songwriting as well. Primarily, I like to work in the genres of Indie/Alternative Rock, Rock, Singer/Songwriter, Americana, Blues, and my history spans from Shoegaze, Psychedelia and Post Rock to Country, Blues and Power Pop. My interests lie mainly in making music that takes you on an adventure sonically, or bleeds sincerity in any form.
I have a home studio setup (also happy to work in yours) and can create tasteful, simple tracks to poly-rhythmic percussive soundscapes using both acoustic and electronic percussion.
