ABOUT

Musician’s Institute ‘97. Drummer’s Collective, NYC ‘00s. Former 80’s glam rock dude. Fifty year old, committed bop, post-bop, free jazz, as long-as it swings, drummer. Would consider myself an advanced player (still taking lessons and experimenting with rythms.) Looking for a chance to play with other musicians, for a regular jam. Have a pretty sweet bar in-house. CAN solo in 4s 8s 12s and open. CAN play in 4/4 and 3/4 time. Slow, mid, or up. Thanks for taking a look.
