SEEKING

ABOUT

I really love to groove to some hot funk or blues. Maybe some fusion mixed with world beats or what ever genre that gets their butts shaking out there on the dance floor. HE HE HE..

I am a self taught musican who in the begining just wanted to beat the skins and make noise but as my style of playing matured through the years so did my desire to create "decent" music. "Decent is a relative term". Which in turn brings me here today. I have been without a band for the past two years and while playing still gets me going and music is my true passion I really need to get back out there with some folks and start gig'n. Or at the very least find some laid back musicians who just want to get together, have a few beers and write some songs.

Please, Keep the egos at bay and have an open mind as to different avenues of expression. I find that I function really well with a group where we all share in the creative process. I understand most of the time there are one or two people who give more than others and that is fine, just as long as they are open to ideas and don' have a mental block to other genres or styles..

I know I am not the best drummer and on the same hand I know I am not even close to the worst drummer chilling around these parts. I will leave the judgement of my chops up to you. Check my songs and vids for an accurate portrayal of my ability, and even if you are not interested in what I have to offer feel free to drop me a line with some constructive criticism. I love to grow as a musician by any means available.

Thanks for reading and
KEEP ON ROCKING!

Peace Kevin

I also have a Remo composite Djembe hand drum for the quieter times, plus a small Wharfedale pm600 6 chanel PA that works well for vocals or to have an acoustic plugged into it with one STS 15 and three in horn that came with the symstem andsome mixed mics that I am not sure of the make of right now..
