Drumming 60 yrs. Played at bars, live venues, concerts, toured the West Coast with different Hawaii and Oregon bands. My main focuses are in Jazz-Fusion, Funk, Soul, R&B, Blues, Reggae, Latin-Jazz. I can play all styles of music from 60s to current.
I am Iooking to put together a jam session with some well-rounded musicians to play some covers of my Influences below and have some fun and hopefully start a band. I'm available most days/nights.
I would really like to find musicians who would want to jam TOP songs like Soul Vaccination, What is Hip? and Don't Change Horses. Send a message
