ABOUT

Have played all over the place in cover bands and original act. Have been blessed to have always played with good musicians. I have played only rock/hard rock but given the right circumstance I would play country. I play hard and physical, try to not look like a robot behind the drums. I would say that I'm a cross of Tommy Lee, Tommy Aldridge and John Bohnam. I'm not by far a egomaniac, Im down to earth and confident in my playing. I would love to play again but the band would have to be pretty damn good, real good. I'm not trying to sound like a pompous dick, I just don't want to play at bars, play rehashed covers and make next to nothing. I have done it for a long time and lets face it, drama and musicians women ,sh*tty sound and the always dui avoiding drive homes suck. But if even my old band was to want to hit it again I would. Im not looking for fame or money or ego stroking. I just want to write and perform sh*t that people will always remember. Its nearly impossible now with internet to make it big .And it is alot of work, thats why I wish to be selective.

Influences

Main influence is Tommy Aldridge of Ozzy and Whitesnake. My set up is bout identical to his and when I have to do a drum solo, which is kinda a 90's thing, I copied his solo, which he still plays to this day. I picked up from all kinds of drummers through the years. I would like to say I have my own unique style but thats for the critics to decide. I'm not Neil Pert, or Portnoy, never wanted to be.
