SEEKING

ABOUT

My name’s Ben and I’ve been making music in one form or another for most of my life. I started playing percussion in 1998 in my school's band and bought my first drum set at age 13. Picked up playing piano and guitar in high school, bass shortly afterwards. I’ve been in multiple performing bands throughout my life on the drums, keys and as a vocalist.

February 2022 I was shot in the face as a result of a road rage incident. May 2023, I had facial reconstruction surgery with a custom titanium implant lled and fitted for a prosthetic.

So now with monocular vision, I’m having to rethink most things in life, from everyday tasks to a new career. That’s why I’ve decided to alter the way I utilize my time. I practice 4-5 times a week on multiple instruments. I practice once a week with a group I've been with for 9 years. I'm looking for a serious gig/tour ready band in need of a drummer.
