ABOUT
Experienced drummer looking for a solid band or musicians to play with. I'm a transplant from the Detroit Michigan area and have lived in Anderson for nearly 6 years. I have many years of experience playing with various bands, both original and cover. Since moving to Anderson I haven't actively pursued any band work merely due to work and family obligations so it's been awhile. However I still practice and play often. Now I've got the itch to get out and meet some local musicians and make some music. Please understand that I have a job, family and a mortgage. This comes first. Not looking to go on tour or gig 5 nights a week. Just want to play out once in a while, hook up with some good musicians and have fun doing it.
