SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
* I also play Jazz with a little bit of Funk, Heavy Metal, and Punk. (Up to 3 Genres? PUH-LEEZ!)
* I don't have a studio contract, but I am more than willing to do studio work.
* I've been playing drums and percussion since 1987. I've got a pretty good ear and I play by "feel".
* I love to put everything I have in to my playing.
* Do you need a powerful rock beat? I'm your guy. Do you need something soft, smooth and sensitive in the background? Call me. Do you need a solid "meat-and-potatoes" groove? Look no further. Do you like bizarre odd meters? So do I.
I'm too cheap to upgrade to "Pro". Please contact me via:

MUSIC

Thanks, Dad!
Thanks, Dad! Year: 2001 Genre: Other
This solo is something I put together containing various influences. The cymbal swells segue into a pattern based on Middle Eastern hand drum rhythms. Next, is a melody (kinda) played on the roto-toms while the rack tom and floor tom trade pulses back and forth. The triplet section makes a nice segue into the rolling/rumbling homage to Neil Peart. Then, it ends.
