SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
My name is Bill Parks and I am looking to play for an established band with scheduled, paid gigs. I'm a professional, reliable and experienced drummer with solid backing vocal abilities. I've played for 20+ years and live in Lewisville, TX.
I’m very comfortable playing any genre of music and do vocals as well. You name it, I can play it and I can sing it. I read music and play by ear and I’m experienced with click tracks. I am very easy to get along with and take myself very serious when it comes to playing. Any sound you want, I can create it.
I play a 6 piece, Ayotte Wood Hoop kit with 11 Zildjian A Custom cymbals. It’s an incredible sound. My schedule is open for any gigs/recordings, day or night including any touring opportunities that may arise.
Many times I’ve sat in for several bands playing for 10,000+ people. I have performed in arenas, music venues, clubs/bars, corporate events, sports events and community events.
If you're looking for a solid drummer who can keep time and give your band the strong backbone, please call, text, or email.
