SEEKING

ABOUT

Drummer, piano and drum instructor, songwriter and electronic music producer interested in filling up my weeknight gigging schedule. My main interest is jazz and fusion but I'm interested in playing anything that sounds good and pays some money. I have been teaching drums and piano at Roselle School Of Music (formally Roselle Music) for 14 years and have been gigging quite steadily for over 20 years. I've played with some of Chicago and San Francisco's greatest jazz musicians as well as 5 years with Cornmeal, 4 years with The Make Believe, 1 year with the legendary MC Juice....the list goes on. I've done a number of subbing jobs and am comfortable learning new material for such an occasion. I also have an original music project that I wrote the majority of the music for featuring Kris Myers of Umphrey's McGee you can check out at:

My jobbing/wedding band you can check out at:
hookedonsonicsband

And I still have original music up at /baidm (but of course I don't socialize there).
