SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm 45 years old. I've been playing drums for almost all of it. I'm currently playing in a classic rock/current rock/top 40's cover band. I have been in this band for 20 years and have retired from the road.

I toured with an original band in the mid-90's. I toured with an Eagles tribute band and a original country band. I’m not looking to tour anymore but want to play more then a few times a year. I own several drum kits, professional mics and reliable transportation! I am dedicated to music and the hard work that goes into making a successful project. I've been in several original acts over the years and love writing my own drum parts. I don't over fill, I don't abuse the kick drum, but I know what sounds good, where to throw the chops and what makes a funky groove. I've filled in for other drummers and I've done studio work for my own bands as well as others. I don't play to a click. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a huge ego... I am just that dedicated. I've played country, Americana rock, blues and originals.I'm not a jazz or metal drummer.
