ABOUT

I’m mainly a drummer and can play a wide range of styles. I went to a music school, similar to Musicians Institute of Technology, called Music Tech in Minneapolis MN. There I studied drums. The program focused on popular music as opposed to classical. We learned Jazz, Latin, funk, rock, pop, etc. the experience was invaluable. In addition to playing drums I’ve been a song writer as long as I’ve been playing and am ideally looking to find musicians who would like to embark on a wild conceptual journey that I’m creating around a fictional character. The music involved would be mainly rock/ hard rock based. But I’m not opposed to playing drums in in a cool band either.

EQUIPMENT

I have Gretsch drums, big set, lots of options, all the things needed. I also have a few guitars and amps. I wouldn’t say anything road worthy as far as guitar equipment goes, but god enough to rehearse. I have a small PA, and an adequate home recording set up.
