I've been playing drums since '84. Lots of genres I love to play. I have good technique and can move around the kit pretty easily. If someone gave me a solo I could handle it without thinking. I understand the dynamics of music and can read...it's been awhile and I'm a bit rusty but with a little practice I could get myself back up to speed. I can sing...I have a good voice and don't have too many issues singing backup while I play.
