SEEKING
Band to Join, Flute, Keyboard, Saxophone, Other Percussion, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Vocalist.ABOUT
A long-time rocker that has 14 years of road experience and played just about every type of music imaginable. Above the average drummer with a heart for whatever style you want to play. I just want to finish up what I started and quit a while back. Play around at open mikes and get offers but none serious enough. Versatility would be my strong-point.......pretty women my fault.

Influences
Heavy influences began in HS with John Bonham and Led Zep; Phil Collins with Genisis; Mitch Mitchell with Jimi Hendrix; Frank Beard ZZ Top. As I grew got into other genres and love Steve Gadd (various band), Stewart Copeland of Police is another under-rated favorite; an unknown Bobby Caldwell of Armagedon; and what turned in to a personal friend at end of my run......probably fav rocker,Tommy Aldridge (Ozzy, Whitesnake, Pat Travers, boo-koo studio). Jazz wise gotta start with listening to some Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. But the cats that lay it down like Billy Cobham, Tony Williams, Jeff Pocaro can make a set sing. BUT THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN AND WISH I COULD BE JUST LIKE IS Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews. Don't forget the speed Mysters...Neil Peart-Rush, Terry Bozzio -Azia,and Phil Ehart - Kansas.
EQUIPMENT
Pearl four-piece with six cymbals and small percussion tree.
