SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a percussionist/drummer looking to join an R&B, neo-soul, or smooth jazz group. Also looking for a consistent church playing job as well, a church worship service with contemporary Gospel music like Israel Houghton, Tye Tribbet, Vashawn Mitchell, Fred Hammond, etc. I have years of playing experience along with having studied numerous percussion instruments and styles while receiving my Bachelor's in music from the University of Georgia. I have studied drum set, 2-4 mallet keyboard percussion, ethnic percussion, marching and concert percussion, and lead tenor steel drum (Trinidad and Tobago). Looking to play with a group where the musicians challenge each other and want to push to create and play great music. Also looking for studio work as well. Feel Free to contact me at casper8009
