ABOUT

I've been playing drums for about 40 years. I began studying drums in 1976...I have a music degree in percussion performance from WVU and played in the AirForce Band. I've taught drums and have worked as a freelance drummer in southern CA. I'm interested in finding some people who would like to start a smooth jazz group to gig around the area.

My contact# is 304 five five 3 two 1 six 3.
