After leaving my home state of Michigan in 2008, I left the music scene behind. But I kept drumming as it’s been a major part of who I am since early childhood. I am seeking older, matured players that wants to simply make music. I play drums but music comes 1st. I enjoy playing many genres of music as long as long as I can serve and support the song and other instruments in the band. Looking to
Collaborate with like minded musicians that want to play good, listenable music. Don’t care if it’s cover, tribute, or writing music. If I can support your music then I am interested.

EQUIPMENT
Currently have 4 acoustic drum kits from Ludwig, Yamaha, Gretsch, and most recently Tama. All are top end flagship kits and range in size and configuration. Roland V drums including an Octapad and SPDsx pad. Audix, Shure, AKG, and Audio Technica mics, QSC TM16 mixer, plus a 16 channel recording setup. An array of cymbals from Zildjian, Sabian, and Paiste. Drum gear is not an issue at all. I’m a drum junkie!
