ABOUT

What's up guys!?
I am a drummer who has been playing for about eight years and am looking for a band to start playing professionally with. I have played with and filled in for many churches and bands as well as the 5A region jazz band. My work playing with the award winning Stony Point jazz band has even been recognized by the legendary jazz drummer, Butch Miles.
In about a week I will have some tasty demo videos up so you guys can check me out, but in the meantime, Here's a link to my be channel with a couple old embarrassing high school videos so you can see my playing style and make fun of my technique and the occasional stick break. ;)

I'm up for any style, particularly alternative rock and funk rock... but no heavy metal please, I don't believe in double bass pedals anyways ;) ;) I am 100% dedicated, this is what I want to do for a living and I am ready to jump into the music industry and do the business side along with the musical side.

If you are an established band looking for a new drummer, or even just one person looking to start a band, go ahead and shoot me an email bgr310 () and I'll respond within 12 hours. I hope to hear from you!
Cheers!- Ben
