Cymb AL + Musician in San Diego, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hello! My name is Al and I have been a drummer since high school. I have been a part of numerous projects throughout Georgia and Florida. I have played, recorded, and toured with many local bands, and also toured extensively with a few regional ones throughout the southeast. I am located in San Diego, but willing to travel for the right project.

At this time, I prefer professional situations, please.

I am looking for a good, fun project that likes to play out and stay generally busy. I am open to original and cover/tribute bands. I am more comfortable playing Rock, Pop, Funk, Lounge, Country and can accompany singer/songwriter situations with percussion (light percussion? Is that a thing?). If you are in need of a solid, groove/pocket drummer, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. At the moment I am able to do some touring, but nothing too extensive.

You can message me on IG: alporras.

I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!
