barrythedrummer + Musician in Colorado Springs, CO

ABOUT

Semipro drummer who can step into an existing band or sub for a night when needed. Give me a recorded show, and I'll show up ready (not five sets for a gig in four days please). Highly versatile, I don't overplay, bash, play while you're tuning or fight about stuff. I drive, groove and punctuate. With my ekit, I can call up any drumset sound, backing track and unique triggered sound.

**Note: I'm playing with two other bands, each playing a couple times monthly, so I only can offer playing single gigs / last minute subs right now. Contact me if you need a drummer in a pinch. If you're not a BM premium member, find me on FB, LI or just Google search Barry McCann in Colorado Springs. The show must go on!**
