JJ on Drums + Musician in West Sacramento, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m Jeff, a very experienced drummer.

I’ve been playing for over 40 years with all kinds of outfits: Big Band, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Funk, etc. I’m looking for something creative and good energy/tight arrangements. I’m also tired of doing covers without any heart. If they’re played with love and energy, I’m in.

I know how to play pianissimo and am a quick study.

I’m fully equipped, pro gear (acoustic and electronic), I have a reliable car. I even have a job and a girlfriend! Drummer jokes need no apply. lol No substance abuse problems or ego difficulties. Just need to play, love to jam/improvise.

Thanks, Jeff
