ABOUT

I'm also an experienced drummer at the Pro Level. I started drumming in 1972 with Jazz and moved into Rock and Fusion in the 80's and began filling in with area bands in the NYC area. During the early 80's I played with a wide variety of Bands with unique sounds. I spent a great deal of time in the 80's at the Rising Sun in Yonkers, NY. I played numerous sessions with the late Bob Mayo keyboardist for Peter Frampton and Foreigner. I toured with the Rob Carlton Band for 2 years .Performing original / progressive rock music The nationally established band has 3 albums in international circulation. I'm currently drummer for the Sons of Bes Band a Central Maine band playing original and covers from the 90's.
