ABOUT

Hello my name is Randy and I play drums and percussion. I started playing drums when I was 9 years old and I took lessons from 9-11 years of age off of Bill Tarrice. I live in Pottsville Pennsylvania. I am currently 50 years of age I am married to my wife Sue since I was 18 years old. I have one son his name is Robert of course after Mr.Robert Plant. My son is 32 years of age and he lives in Western Pennsylvania Pittsburgh area. My wife is very cool and supportive of my passions like Drumming.. I unfortunately lost my right eye due to a medical condition when I was 36 and I learned to do so much more then I ever thought was capable gave me New Perspective and outlook on life I know it does not affect my drumming if anything I am better now. So I have a lot of free time to get better at this craft. I know a lot of music and I am a very fast learner of different styles and genres tempos and Beats. The biggest concern that I have is how good band members themselves are nice and get along and also hold themselves accountable. My mind is like a music file cabinet because my entire life practically all I did there was music involved. I'm very passionate to bring back rock and roll music how it was in the 60s 70s 80s 90s and early 2000s. There's no way rock and roll can die I want to do whatever I can possibly to make sure that rock and roll has very very long history. In the last I don't know how many years I have heard almost no good rock and roll being made at least nothing mainstream or the kind of music that you would one your children to listen to teach them about life. So if there's other people out there I feel the same way about rock and roll especially real classic rock and roll hit me up and let's change this goddamn world around because it makes me want to puke because music is dead just like Jim Morrison predicted.. it's time for a band to make the myths and not just hope someone else will come along and do that because to do something right I always feel the best hands music should be in are mine. Looking for some like-minded musicians that one accomplish the goal with me. Cuz it can be done. And I would love you say the band that I am in Resurrected the music. Truly made me who I am and inspired my whole life.
