Friendly, professional, and committed to satisfactory results!
Currently working as a drum teacher and session musician. I can read, compose, transcribe, and sight-read drum parts effectively.
I've been in everything from jam bands to jazz bands to producer/drummer combos and I'm currently playing with various local acts around town. I can record and mix my own drum tracks, and I have my own practice space big enough to fit an eight-piece band!
I'm seeking established, committed acts that want to play and/or record consistently. My specialties are metal, funk, rock, and electronic music but I am well-versed in many other genres beyond that.
