SEEKING

ABOUT

Dedicated and skilled drummer looking to join a cover/tribute band, or am available as a fill-in "Hired Gun" I recently retired and moved from the Central Valley in California to Michigan. I played in several hard rock bands and a couple country bands in the past few decades. I’m looking to soon join an established group and commence rocking once again. I have no drug/alcohol/attitude issues or transportation issues either. I'm very devoted and committed to my craft. I play music because I love to play music. I take it seriously( but not at the expense of keeping it fun) and do my homework, and always try to come to rehearsal prepared. I am dedicated to play for the song, not my ego. Just wanna play great music with like-minded musicians. I can be contacted by phone (559)707-6303. (Prefer texts at first). Email- [email protected]

Influences

My influences run the gamut from Classic rock to Hard rock. Though, I of course would like to think that I take a little bit from every drummer I admire, from Buddy Rich to Neil Peart, and of course Bonham. I'm a very solid and in the pocket player. Examples of bands that I have recently covered are: Guns and Roses, Def Leppard, RATM, STP, Journey, Bon Jovi, RHCP's, Queen, Green Day, Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Aerosmith, Metallica, Sabbath, Doobie Bro's, Black Crowes etc. I also play funk, r&b and country.
